GENERAL DESCRIPTION

The AMS116 series consists of positive fixed voltage regulators ideally suited for use in battery-powered systems. These devices feature very low quiescent current of 1mA or less when supplying 10mA loads. This unique characteristic and the extremely low input -output differential required for proper regulation (0.2V for output currents of 10mA) make the AMS116 ideal to use for standby power systems.
