The IMP37 series of Low Dropout (LDO) three-terminal voltage regulators feature guaranteed low dropout voltages at currents up to 0.8A. The
IMP37 regulator family dropout voltage is guaranteed to be 0.95V or
lower at 0.8A. At 100mA, the maximum dropout voltage is 0.8V.
Compared with “1117” type LDOs, the IMP37 has a 20% lower dropout
voltage.
Three fixed output voltages are offered: 2.5V, 3.0V and 3.3V. Output voltages are factory trimmed to within 1% of the nominal value.
In addition to low dropout voltages, the IMP37 family features greatly
reduced quiescent operating current. The 75µA maximum specification
represents an over 100 times improvement over competitive devices.
Devices are short circuit protected, and a thermal protection circuit shuts
the regulator off should the junction temperature exceed 165°C.
The IMP37 is available in low-profile plastic SOT-223 and TO-263
packages and are pin compatible with fixed “1117” devices.

Note: Tape and reel shipping is available for the SOT-223 and TO-263 packages. Append the TAPE AND REEL designation “/T” to the ordering
part number for tape and reel devices. For example, the IMP37-25JST/T is a 2.5V SOT-223 packaged device shipped in reels.
