The AMS116 series consists of positive fixed voltage regulators ideally suited for use in battery-powered systems. These devices feature very low quiescent current of 1mA or less when supplying 10mA loads. This unique characteristic and the extremely low input -output differential required for proper regulation (0.2V for output currents of 10mA) make the AMS116 ideal to use for standby power systems. Like other regulators the AMS116 series also includes internal current limiting, thermal shutdown, and is able to withstand temporary power-up with mirror-image insertion. The AMS116 is offered in the 3-pin TO-92 package and SOT-89 package.
