R1180D241C-TR-FE

Voltage Regulators - Linear, Low Drop Out (LDO) Regulators Overview

The R1180D241C-TR-FE is a fixed-output low-dropout (LDO) voltage regulator manufactured by Nisshinbo Micro Devices, part of the R1180D series. It provides a fixed output voltage of 2.4 V with a maximum output current of 150 mA. The device operates within an input voltage range of 1.7 V to 6 V and features a typical dropout voltage of 250 mV at full load. It maintains a quiescent supply current of approximately 1 µA, ensuring low power consumption in standby modes. The regulator offers high accuracy with a voltage regulation tolerance of ±2% and includes built-in protection against overcurrent conditions. It is housed in a compact SON1612-6 surface-mount package and supports operation across a temperature range of -40°C to +85°C.

Voltage Regulators - Linear, Low Drop Out (LDO) Regulators Procurement Notes

Verify the manufacturer designation as Nisshinbo Micro Devices rather than Ricoh, as Ricoh does not produce this semiconductor component. Confirm the specific output voltage suffix corresponds to the required 2.4 V level. Ensure the SON1612-6 package footprint matches the design layout. Check RoHS compliance status and lead-free soldering requirements for assembly processes. Validate availability through authorized distributors given potential supply chain variations.

Voltage Regulators - Linear, Low Drop Out (LDO) Regulators Selection Notes

Select this component when a fixed 2.4 V output is required with minimal static power draw. The 150 mA current capability suits moderate load applications. Consider the 1.7 V minimum input voltage for battery-operated systems nearing discharge levels. The ±2% accuracy is sufficient for general digital logic and analog reference needs. Evaluate thermal performance within the SON1612-6 package if operating near maximum current limits.

Voltage Regulators - Linear, Low Drop Out (LDO) Regulators Part Context

This component belongs to the R1180D series of LDO regulators designed for low-power applications. The series is characterized by ultra-low standby current and small external capacitor requirements. Manufactured by Nisshinbo Micro Devices, these regulators are widely used in consumer electronics and industrial control systems where power efficiency and size are critical constraints.

Voltage Regulators - Linear, Low Drop Out (LDO) Regulators Replacement Considerations

Compatible substitutes include other parts from the R1180D series with different output voltages, such as R1180D231C or R1180D251C, provided the voltage requirement changes. Cross-referencing with similar low-current LDOs from manufacturers like Microchip or Texas Instruments may be necessary if sourcing constraints exist, though pin compatibility must be verified.
