General Description

The AME385-2.5 is a micropower 2-terminal band-gap voltage regulator diode. It operates over a 20µA to 20mA current range. Each circuit is trimmed at wafer sort to provide a ±0.20 and ±0.50 initial tolerance. The design of the AME385-2.5 allows for a large range of load capacitances and operating currents. The low start-up current makes these part ideal for battery applications.

Analog Microelectronics offers this part in a TO-92 and SO-8 package as well as the space saving SOT-23.
