General Description
The MIC3975 is a 750mA low-dropout linear voltage regulators that provide low-voltage, high-current output from an extremely small package. Utilizing Micrel’s proprietary Super βeta PNP™ pass element, the MIC3975 offers extremely low dropout (typically 300mV at 750mA) and low ground current (typically 6.5mA at 750mA).
