LT1521CMS8-3 Description

Short technical summary and product information.

The LT1521CMS8-3 is a low dropout linear regulator from LT, designed for battery-powered applications requiring micropower quiescent current and shutdown capabilities. It can supply up to 300mA of output current with a low dropout voltage of 0.5V.

 

Key electrical specifications include a typical quiescent current of 12mA during operation and 6mA in shutdown mode. The device is stable with small output capacitors as low as 1.5µF, enhancing manufacturability. It also features reverse battery protection and no reverse current flow, making it suitable for backup power situations.

 

The LT1521CMS8-3 offers fixed output voltages of 3V, 3.3V, and 5V, as well as an adjustable output version ranging from 3.8V to 20V. The regulator is protected by thermal limiting.

 

This component is available in a SOT-223-3 surface mount package.
