DESCRIPTION
The SC1540 and SC1540A are high performance low
dropout positive voltage regulators designed for use in
applications where power management is critical, such
as battery powered systems. Additionally, the
SC1540(A) provides excellent regulation over variations in line, load and temperature. Outstanding features include low dropout performance at rated current,
fast transient response, internal current limiting and
thermal shutdown protection of the output device. A
very low quiescent current of 10µA in shutdown mode
reduces power dissipation. With three voltage options
available, the SC1540(A) comes in the popular SO-8
surface mount package.
