LT1529 LT1529-3.3/LT1529-5 3A Low Dropout Regulators with Micropower Quiescent Current and Shutdown DESCRIPTIO
The LT ®1529/LT1529-3.3/LT1529-5 are 3A low dropout regulators with micropower quiescent current and shutdown. The devices are capable of supplying 3A of output current with a dropout voltage of 0.6V. Designed for use in battery-powered systems, the low quiescent current, 50µA operating and 16µA in shutdown, make them an ideal choice. The quiescent current is well controlled; it does not rise in dropout as it does with many other low dropout PNP regulators. Other features of the LT1529 /LT1529-3.3/LT1529-5 include the ability to operate with small output capacitors. They are stable with only 3.3µF on the output while most older devices require between 10µF and 100µF for stability.
