DESCRIPTIO
The LTC^®1844 Series are low noise VLDO^TM (very low
dropout) linear regulators designed for low power/portable
applications. These regulators can operate from input
voltages as low as 1.6V. Typical output noise is only
30µV_RMS and typical dropout for the LTC1844-3.3 is just
90mV at the maximum load current of 150mA, reducing to
30mV at 50mA.
The internal P-channel MOSFET pass transistor requires
no base current, allowing the device to draw only 35µA
during normal operation, independent of the dropout
voltage and load current. The quiescent current falls to a
negligible 10nA during shutdown.
Other features include high output voltage accuracy,
excellent transient response, stablity with ultralow ESR
ceramic capacitors as small as 1µF, reverse-battery and
reverse-current protection, short-circuit and thermal
overload protection and output current limiting.
The LTC1844 regulators are available in a low profile
(1mm) SOT-23 (ThinSOT^TM) package.
