Description n Functional Block Diagram The AME8845 family of linear regulators feature low IN OUT quiescent current (300µA typ.) with low dropout voltage, making them ideal for battery applications. It is available Overcurrent in TO-252, SOT-223, TO-263 and TO-220 packages. The Shutdown space-efficient TO-252, SOT-223 packages are attractive for "Pocket" and "Hand Held" applications. Thermal Shutdown Output voltages are set at the factory and trimmed to 1.5% accuracy. R1 - These rugged devices have both Thermal Shutdown, AMP and Current Fold-back to prevent device failure under the + "Worst" operating conditions. The AME8845 is stable with an output capacitance of R2 2.2µF or greater.
