GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The AMS2954 series are micropower voltage regulators ideally suited for use in battery-powered systems. These devices feature very low quiescent current (typ.75µA), and very low dropout voltage (typ.50mV at light loads and 380mV at 250mA) thus prolonging battery life. The quiescent current increases only slightly in dropout. The AMS2954 has positive transient protection up to 60V and can survive unregulated input transient up to 20V below ground. The AMS2954 was designed to include a tight initial tolerance (typ. 0.5%), excellent load and line regulation (typ. 0.05%), and a very low output voltage temperature coefficient, making these devices useful as a low-power voltage reference.
