Diodes' LDOs achieve 2% accuracy over industrial temperatures
A pair of low dropout linear regulators with industrial temperature rating of -40 degC to +85 degC have been introduced by Diodes Incorporated. Suiting applications including set-top boxes, routers and LCD monitors, the 300mA, 150mV dropout AP7335 and 600mA, 300mV dropout AP7365 offer adjustable and fixed output voltage operation at an accuracy of 2% across the temperature range.
InpuThe regulators' ability to drive low ESR 1µF MLCC output capacitors helps improve stability and reduce circuit cost, while a high PSRR rating of 65db at 1kHz ensures low noise high quality supplies for audio and RF applications. LDO robustness is assured by integral over-current, over-temperature and short-circuit protection.
The LDOs are provided in a choice of industry standard packages and pin-outs, with both devices available in the SOT25 and DFN2020-6 outlines and the AP7365 also available in SOT89-3L and SOT223-3L options.
The 300mA AP73365 is priced from $0.14 each in 1000 piece quantities and the 600mA AP7365 from $0.17 each in 1000 piece quantities.
