The CM3016-48 is a CMOS linear voltage regulator with low quiescent current, very low drop out voltage and better than 1% initial output voltage accuracy. The quiescent current is typically 150A at light loads and only 165A at 500mA. This is 5% more efficient than equivalent Bi-CMOS devices that can waste up to 25mA at 500mA load. The CM3016-48 can maintain load regulation for peak currents up to 500mA, which is useful for supplying inrush currents during power-up and transient conditions. Continuous output current is limited by package type and board layout.
