GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The AMS78LXX series consists of positive fixed voltage regulators ideally suited for use in battery-powered systems. These devices feature very low quiescent current of 1mA or less when supplying 10mA loads. This unique characteristic and the low input -output differential of less than 1V required for proper regulation, make the AMS78LXX ideal to use for standby power systems and portable equipment.
The AMS78LXX series also includes internal current limiting, over voltage protection, thermal shutdown, and is able to withstand temporary power-up with mirror-image insertion.
The AMS78LXX series is offered in the 3-pin TO-92 package, 8-pin plastic SOIC and SOT-89 packages.
