The CS8101 is a precision 5.0 V micropower voltage regulator with very low quiescent current (70 mA typ at 100 mA load). The 5.0 V output is accurate within 2.0% and supplies 100 mA of load current with a typical dropout voltage of only 400 mV. Microprocessor control logic includes an ENABLE input and an active RESET. This combination of low quiescent current, outstanding regulator performance and control logic makes the CS8101 ideal for any battery operated, microprocessor controlled equipment. The active RESET circuit includes hysteresis, and operates correctly at an output voltage as low as 1.0 V. The RESET function is activated during the power up sequence or during normal operation if the output voltage drops outside the regulation limits by more than 200 mV typ. The logic level compatible ENABLE input allows the user to put the regulator into a shutdown mode where it draws only 20 mA typical of quiescent current.
