The MSK 5176 series voltage regulators boast ultra low dropout specifications due to the utilization of a super PNP output pass transistor with monolithic technology. They are packaged in a space efficient 5 pin power SIP available in two styles with three lead bend options.
The MSK 5176 series includes a range of low‑dropout linear regulators available in multiple output voltages (+1.5 V to +12 V). They feature electrically isolated top‑tab or Z‑tab SIP packages, a TTL‑compatible enable pin, reverse‑polarity and overload protection, and low ground current.
Typical applications are high‑efficiency power supplies, battery‑powered equipment, and post‑regulation for switching supplies. The datasheet details electrical specifications, thermal management, and recommended external components such as a minimum 33 µF output capacitor.
