PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
The SPX2975 is a low power voltage regulator. This device is an excellent choice for use in battery-powered applications such as cordless telephones, radio control systems, and portable computers. The SPX2975 features very low quiescent current and very low dropout voltage (Typ. 50mV at light load and 380 mV at 180 mA). This includes a tight initial tolerance of 0.5% typ., extremely good load and line regulation 0.05% typ. and very low output temperature coefficient, making the SPX2975 useful as a low-power voltage reference. Other additional key features include higher output current (150mA), positive transient protection up to 60V (Load dump), and the ability to survive an unregulated input voltage transient of -20V below ground (reverse battery).
