DESCRIPTION
The L387A is a very low drop voltage regulator in
a Pentawatt
vide stabilized 5V supplies in consumer and industrial applications. Thanks to its very low input/output voltage drop this device is very useful
in battery powered equipment, reducing consumption and prolonging battery life. A reset output makes the L387A particularly suitable for microprocessor systems. This output provides a reset signal when power is applied (after an external programmable delay) and goes low when
