The MC33275 series are micropower low dropout voltage regulators available in a wide variety of output voltages as well as packages, SOT-223, SOP-8, DPAK, and DFN 4x4 surface mount packages. These devices feature a very low quiescent current and are capable of supplying output currents up to 300 mA. Internal current and thermal limiting protection are provided by the presence of a short circuit at the output and an internal thermal shutdown circuit. Due to the low input-to-output voltage differential and bias current specifications, these devices are ideally suited for battery powered computer, consumer, and industrial equipment where an extension of useful battery life is desirable.
