STMicroelectronics KF00 Series Very Low Dropout Voltage Regulator Datasheet

KF00 series very low dropout voltage regulators with inhibit function, available in SO-8 and DPAK packages and in a wide range of output voltages. The very low dropout voltage (0.4 V) and the very low quiescent current make them particularly suitable for low noise, low power applications and specially in battery powered systems. It requires only a 2.2 µF capacitor for stability allowing space and cost saving.

About this manual

The KF00 series consists of very low dropout (LDO) voltage regulators designed for low noise, low power applications, particularly suitable for battery-powered systems. Key features include a very low dropout voltage of 0.4V, extremely low quiescent current (typical 50 µA in off mode), and an output current capability up to 500 mA.

These regulators are available with fixed output voltages ranging from 1.25 V to 12 V in both SO-8 and DPAK packages. A significant feature is the logic-controlled electronic shutdown function, which allows parts of a board to be put into standby mode to decrease total power consumption. Stability is achieved with only a 2.2 µF output bypass capacitor.
