National Semiconductor
has introduced a miniature CMOS linear regulator that conducts the lowest output noise in the industry and features high power supply ripple rejection, while consuming 25uA of quiescent current.
The LP5900 is a 100mA low drop-out linear regulator optimised for powering analogue and RF signal-path integrated circuits (ICs), including low-noise amplifiers, voltage-controlled oscillators and RF receivers.
Using a patent-pending design, the LP5900 linear regulator emits 6.5uVRMS of noise and features a high power supply rejection ratio (PSRR) of 75dB without the use of a bypass capacitor.
National says the LP5900 is available in a four-bump micro SMD package that measures 1.1mm by 1.1mm. Its small form factor, combined with two 0.47uF ceramic chip capacitors, optimises board space and reduces a customer's bill of materials.
The LP5900 is available in multiple output voltages ranging from 1.5V to 3.3V, including 1.5V, 1.8V, 2.0V, 2.2V, 2.5V, 2.8V, 3.0V and 3.3V.

Whoopee, they've solved how to keep a light on but not a lot else.
