General Description

The G953 is a high performance positive voltage regulator designed for use in applications requiring very low dropout voltage at up to 1.5 Amps. G953 features 500mV dropout voltages and very low ground current. Although designed for high current loads, these devices are also useful in lower current, extremely low dropout-critical systems, where their minimal dropout voltage and ground current values are important characteristics.

The G953 provides excellent regulation over variations in line, load and temperature.
