Description
The GSC2176 of positive, linear regulators feature low ground current (30μA typ.) with low dropout voltage, making then ideal for battery applications. The space-saving SOP-8 package is attractive for “Pocket” and “Hand Held” applications.
These rugged devices have both Thermal Shutdown, and Current Fold-back to prevent device failure under the “Worst” of operating conditions.
The GSC2176 is stable with an output capacitance of 2.2μF or greater.
