Good Choice of Low drop LDO for Standby Power

 

Introducing the STLQ50, a BiCMOS linear regulator built for environments requiring ultra-low power consumption. With an extensive input range of 2.3 to 12V, it can provide a maximum output current of 50 mA while maintaining an incredibly low quiescent current of 3uA. 

Thanks to the PMOS pass element, it achieves outstanding dropout values (200 mV at 25 mA IO and 350 mV at full load) without compromising consumption characteristics. Housed in the compact SOT323-5L package, it perfectly meets space-saving requirements in battery-powered equipment.

This circuit is a versatile solution for portable/battery-powered equipment, electronic sensors, microcontroller power, and real-time clock backup power applications.

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.
