LT3021ES8

LDO Regulator Pos 0.2V to 9.5V 0.5A 8Pin SOIC N

DESCRIPTIO U

The LT®3021 is a very low dropout voltage VLDOTM linear regulator that operates from input supplies down to 0.9V. This device supplies 500mA of output current with a typical dropout voltage of 160mV. The LT3021 is ideal for low input voltage to low output voltage applications, providing comparable electrical efficiency to that of a switching regulator.
