Torex Introduces Low Power LDO With Ultra Low Quiescent Current

The IC operates from a supply voltage within a range of 1.5V to 6.0V to provide output voltages that can be factory set anywhere from 0.9V to 4.0V in 100mV steps (accurate to ±2%), with an ultra low dropout of typically 200mV at 100mA. For extra output stability, the device is fully compatible with low ESR ceramic capacitors.

Manufactured using Torex’s CMOS process, the XC6502 retains all of the features that are common to low dropout regulators including a reference voltage source, an error amplifier, current limit circuit, and a phase compensation circuit plus a driver transistor. The foldback current limit circuit also operates as the output current limiter (300mA max) and the output pin protector.
