LOW-DROPOUT REGULATORS — HIGH EFFICIENCY
Designed specifically to meet the requirement for extended operation of battery-powered equipment such as cordless and cellular telephones, the A8405SLH voltage regulators offer the reduced dropout voltage and quiescent current essential for maximum battery life. Applicable also to palmtop computers and personal data assistants, these devices deliver a regulated output at up to 200 mA (transient), which is internally limited, providing short-circuit protection. Regulated output voltages of 2.7, 2.8, 3.0, 3.2, 3.3, 3.6, 3.8, 4.0, and 5.0 V
are currently provided. Other voltages, down to 2.0 volts, are available on special order.
