The Si91822 is a 300-mA CMOS LDO (low dropout) voltage regulator. The device features ultra low ground current and dropout voltage to prolong battery life in portable electronics. The Si91822 offers line/load transient response and ripple rejection superior to that of bipolar or BiCMOS LDO regulators. The device is designed to maintain regulation while delivering 600-mA peak current. This is useful for systems that have high surge current upon turn-on. The Si91822 is designed to drive the lower cost ceramic, as well as tantalum, output capacitors. The device is guaranteed stable from maximum load current
