General Description
The TC1173 is a precision output (typically ±0.5%) CMOS low dropout regulator. Total supply current is typically 50μA at full load (20 to 60 times lower than in bipolar regulators).
The TC1173 incorporates both over temperature and over current protection. The TC1173 is stable with an output capacitor of only 1μF and has a maximum output current of 300mA.
