● High accuracy output voltage Guaranteed 100 mA output current Extremely low quiescent current Extremely tight load and line regulation Requires only a 1.0µF output capacitor for stability Internal Current and Thermal Limiting Error flag warns of output dropout Logic-controlled electronic shutdown Output programmable from 1.24 to 29V Fixed 3.3V version available -25°C to +85°C operating range 8 lead SOIC package
DESCRIPTION
40mV at light loads and 380 mV at 100mA). The output can be programmed from 1.24V to 29V with two external resistors. A fixed output voltage (3.3V) is also available. The error flag output can be used as power-on reset for warning of a low output voltage. The Shutdown input feature allows a logic level signal to turn on and off the regulator output. The RC2951 is ideally suited for battery powered computer, consumer, and industrial equipment where an extension of useful battery life is desirable. The RC2951 is available in an 8-pin SOIC package.
