Linear regulator cuts footprint to deliver fixed 5V to MCUs from 7V to 60V input rails

Designed to replace three discrete components, Diodes' ZXTR2105F linear regulator transistor is now available from Digi-Key. The device is used to produce a stable supply of between 4.7V to 5.3V from 12V or 24V inputs. This not only minimizes the solution footprint but also increases system power density and reliability. The device's 60V maximum input rating ensures sufficient headroom in the event of transient over-voltage conditions. Its excellent line and load regulation safeguards continuous operation by ensuring transient voltage drops cannot cause latch-up. This further contributes to system reliability, says the company.
