LDO regulator features foldback current limit for portable devices

The Texas Instruments TLV741P LDO linear regulator is a low quiescent current LDO with excellent line and load transient performance and is designed for power-sensitive applications. This device provides a typical accuracy of 1%. The device is designed to be stable with a small, 1µF output capacitor. The device provides inrush current control during device power up and enabling. It limits the input current to the defined current limit to avoid large currents from flowing from the input power source. This functionality is especially important in battery-operated devices. The device is available in a standard DBV (SOT-23) package.
