General Description

The AAT3218 MicroPower low dropout linear regulator is ideally suited for portable applications where very fast transient response, extended battery life, and small size are critical. The AAT3218 has been specifically designed for high-speed turn-on and turnoff performance, fast transient response, and good power supply ripple rejection (PSRR), and is reasonably low noise, making it ideal for powering sensitive circuits with fast switching requirements.
