DESCRIPTION

The AIC1737 is a 3-pin low dropout linear regulator. The superior characteristics of the AIC1737 include zero base current loss, very low dropout voltage, and 2 accuracy output voltage. Typical ground current remains approximately 55 µA, from no load to maximum loading conditions. Dropout voltage is exceptionally low. Output current limiting and thermal limiting are built in to provide maximal protection to the AIC1737 against fault conditions.

The AIC1737 comes in the popular 3-pin SOT-89 packages.
