DESCRIPTION
The AIC1732 is a 3-pin low dropout linear regulator. The superior characteristics of the AIC1732 include zero base current loss, very low dropout voltage, and 2% accuracy output voltage. Typical ground current remains approximately 55mA, from no load to maximum loading conditions. Dropout voltage at 100mA output current is exceptionally low: 130mV for the AIC1732-50 and AIC1732-52, 180mV for the AIC1732-33, AIC1732-34, AIC1732-35, AIC1732-36, AIC1732-37 and AIC1732-38. Output current limiting and thermal limiting are built in to provide maximal protection to the AIC1732 against fault conditions.
The AIC1732 comes in the popular 3-pin SOT-89 packages
