RT9172
3A Fixed Output Voltage LDO Regulator
General Description
The RT9172 series of low-dropout linear regulators operate
from a +2.25V to +6.0V input supply. A wide range of preset
output voltage options is available. These low dropout linear
regulators respond very fast to step changes in load, which
are suitable for low voltage microprocessor applications.
The RT9172 uses an internal PMOS as the pass device,
which does not cause extra GND current in heavy load
and dropout condition. The shutdown mode of low operation
current makes the IC suitable for power-saving systems.
The other features include current limiting and over
temperature protection.
