The Texas Instruments LP2985AIM5X-5.0/NOPB is an LDO (Low Drop Out) voltage regulator specifically designed for use in low voltage, low noise, and ultra-low drop out applications. It features a maximum output current of 150 mA, a 0.5V drop out voltage, and a low quiescent current of only 5µA (microamps). This device can operate between a 3.6V to 16V input voltage range and it is available in both SOT-23 and micro SMD packages. It has an operating temperature range of -40°C to +125°C and is available in a 5-SOT-23 package. The LP2985AIM5X-5.0/NOPB is suitable for most portable, battery-operated applications requiring tight regulation, including cellular phones, computers, PDAs, digital cameras, and active balanced line drivers.
