About this manual

The LD2981AB/C series are 100 mA fixed-output voltage regulators designed for low noise, low power applications and battery-powered systems. They feature an ultra low dropout voltage of 0.17 V typical at 100 mA load and very low quiescent current of 80 µA typical at no load in on mode.

These regulators are guaranteed stable with low ESR ceramic capacitors and include logic-controlled electronic shutdown. Available output voltages are 2.5 V, 3.0 V, 3.3 V, and 5.0 V. The devices are offered in SOT23-5L and SOT-89 packages with a temperature range of -40 to 125 °C.
