Low Dropout Regulator Driver
DESCRIPTIO
The LT®1123 is a 3-pin bipolar device designed to be used in conjunction with a discrete PNP power transistor to form an inexpensive low dropout regulator. The LT1123 consists of a trimmed bandgap reference, error amplifier, and a driver circuit capable of sinking up to 125m A from the base of the external PNP pass transistor. The LT1123 is designed to provide a fixed output voltage of 5V.
The drive pin of the device can pull down to 2V at 125m A (1.4V at 10m A). This allows a resistor to be used to reduce the base drive available to the PNP and minimize the power dissipation in the LT1123. The drive current of the LT1123 is folded back as the feedback pin approaches ground to further...
