Voltage-Tracking LDO With 4-mV Tracking Tolerance

 The voltage-tracking low dropout regulator (LDO) is commonly used in automotive off-board sensors and small current off-the-board modules due to its off-board protection and high voltage-tracking accuracy advantages. The output of the device is precisely regulated by the ADJ reference voltage.

To obtain accurate sensor readings, a power supply always requires better stability and accuracy. This device offers a 4-mV ultralow tracking tolerance between the ADJ and FB pins across temperatures, meeting the voltage accuracy requirements for off-board modules.
