Description
LD2985Bxx
SOT23-5L
between bypass pin and GND reduce the noise
to 30 µVrms. Typical application are in cellular
phone, palmtop laptop computer, personal digital
assistant (PDA), personal stereo, camcorder and
camera.
The LD2985Bxx is a 150 mA fixed output voltage
regulator. The ultra low drop voltage and the low
quiescent current make them particularly suitable
for low noise, low power applications, and in
battery powered systems. In sleep mode
quiescent current is less than 1 µA when INHIBIT
pin is pulled low. Shutdown logic control function
is available on pin 3 (TTL compatible). This
means that when the device is used as local
regulator, it is possible to put a part of the board in
standby, decreasing the total power consumption.
