Low current LDO from Diodes occupies less space and offers one per cent accuracy

Fri, Mar 10, 2017

Low current LDO from Diodes occupies less space and offers one per cent accuracy: Available with output voltages from 1.2 to 3.3V, the AP7350 low dropout voltage regulator (LDO) supports load currents up to 150mA. Diodes has introduced the AP7350 which targets low-power handheld and wearable devices.

The low quiescent current of just 0.25microA and one per cent accuracy enables designs to achieve extended battery life, says Diodes, while a chip‑scale package (CSP) that measures just 0.64mm² reduces board space requirements.
