n DESCRIPTION
The AIC1740 is a 3-pin low dropout linear
regulator. The superior characteristics of the
AIC1740 include zero base current loss, very
low dropout voltage, and 2% accuracy output
voltage. Typical ground current remains
approximately
65µA, from no load to maximum loading
conditions. Dropout voltage is exceptionally low.
Output current limiting and thermal limiting are
built in to provide maximal protection to the
AIC1740 against fault conditions.
The AIC1740 comes in the popular SOT-223,
TO-251 and TO-252 packages.

Note 1: Guaranteed by design.
Note 2: Regulation is measured at constant junction temperature, using pulse testing with a low ON time.
Note 3: Current limit is measured by pulsing a short time.
Note 4: Dropout voltage is defined as the input to output differential at which the output voltage drops 100mV
below the value measured with a 1V differential.
