Description

The G5U2178 series of positive, linear regulators feature low quiescent current (45μA typ.) with low dropout voltage, making them ideal for battery applications.

Output voltages are set at the factory and trimmed to 1.5 accuracy.

These rugged devices have both Thermal Shutdown, and Current Fold-back to prevent device failure under the “Worst” of operating conditions.

In applications requiring a low noise, regulated supply, place a 1000pF capacitor between Bypass and Ground.

The G5U2178 is stable with an output capacitance of 4.7μF or greater.
