LINEAR TECHNOLOGY LT1121/LT1121-3.3/LT1121-5 handbook
The LT1121 series are micropower low‑dropout (LDO) regulators with shutdown capability, offering up to 150 mA output current and a typical dropout voltage as low as 0.42 V at full load. Features include 30 pA quiescent current, reverse‑battery protection, and the ability to operate with very small output capacitors.
The devices are available in 8‑lead SO, 8‑lead PDIP, 3‑lead SOT‑23, 3‑lead TO‑92, and 3‑lead plastic packages. Typical performance curves, pin functions, and package dimensions are detailed, along with related parts for higher current or different voltage options.
