The AME8801/8812/8840 family of positive, linear regulators from AME, Inc. features low quiescent current, low dropout voltage, and are ideal for battery applications. They have thermal shutdown and current fold-back to prevent device failure under the worst operating conditions. For applications requiring low noise and regulated supply, a 1000 pF capacitor should be placed between bypass and ground. The AME8801 is stable with an output capacitance of 2.2µF or greater.
The AME8801/8812/8840 family of positive linear regulators features low quiescent current (30uA typ.) with low dropout voltage, making them ideal for battery applications. These rugged devices include Thermal Shutdown and Current Fold-back to prevent device failure under worst-case operating conditions.
