LDO regulator from Diodes Incorporated helps reduce energy consumption
With a quiescent current rating of only 70µA, the AP7361 ultra-low dropout linear voltage regulator from Diodes Incorporated will help bring energy savings to a range of consumer electronic devices including LCD TVs, STBs and PCs. Providing a source of adjustable and fixed output voltages at an accuracy of +-1.0%, the regulator has a dropout voltage of just 150mV at 300mA and can deliver an output current up to 1A with 500mV dropout.
2.1MHz automotive step-down converters consume only 25µA
Maxim introduced the MAX16903/MAX16904, automotive-grade, synchronous step-down converters that consume only 25µA (no load) and deliver 1A and 600mA, respectively. These 2.1MHz step-down converters are optimized for operation over the 3.5V to 28V range. Designed to withstand the extreme battery-voltage conditions in automotive applications, the MAX16903/MAX16904 tolerate load-dump transients up to 42V and cold-crank excursions down to 3.5V. The...
