Low-dropout regulators provide dual-level output voltages for designers to customise power consumption applications

Texas Instruments TPS780 150mA low-dropout (LDO) regulators, now available from Mouser, offer the benefits of ultra low-power, miniaturised packaging and selectable dual-level output voltage levels. The ultra low-power and dynamic voltage scaling capability which provides dual-level output voltages let designers customise power consumption for specific applications. Designers can now shift to a lower voltage level in a battery-powered design when the microprocessor is in sleep mode, further reducing overall system power consumption. The two voltage levels are preset at the factory and are stored using EPROM and are available on fixed output voltage devices.
