General Description

The AAT3221 and AAT3222 PowerLinear NanoPower low dropout (LDO) linear regulators are ideal for portable applications where extended battery life is critical. These devices feature extremely low quiescent current, typically 1.1μA. Dropout voltage is also very low, typically less than 200mV at the maximum output current of 150mA. The AAT3221/2 have an enable pin feature which, when asserted, will enter the LDO regulator into shutdown mode, removing power from its load and offering extended power conservation capabilities for portable battery-powered applications.
