LP2986 Micropower, 200 mA Ultra Low-Dropout Fixed or Adjustable Voltage Regulator
General Description
The LP2986 is a 200 mA precision LDO voltage regulator which offers the designer a higher performance version of the industry standard LP2951. Using an optimized VIP™ (Vertically Integrated PNP) process, the LP2986 delivers superior performance: Dropout Voltage: Typically 180 mV @ 200 mA load, and 1 mV @ 1 mA load. Ground Pin Current: Typically 1 mA @ 200 mA load, and 200 µA @ 10 mA load. Sleep Mode: The LP2986 draws less than 1 µA quiescent current when shutdown pin is pulled low. Error Flag: The built-in error flag goes low when the output drops approximately 5% below nominal.
