The LT 1762 series are micropower, low noise, low dropout regulators. The devices are capable of supplying 150mA of output current with a dropout voltage of 300mV. Designed for use in battery-powered systems, the low 25A quiescent current makes them an ideal choice. Quiescent current is well controlled; it does not rise in dropout as it does with many other regulators. A key feature of the LT1762 regulators is low output noise. With the addition of an external 0.01F bypass capacitor, output noise drops to 20VRMS over a 10Hz to 100kHz bandwidth. The LT1762 regulators are stable with output capacitors as low as 2.2F. Small ceramic capacitors can be used without the series resistance required by other regulators.
