The IMP37 series of Low Dropout (LDO) three-terminal voltage regulators feature guaranteed low dropout voltages at currents up to 0.8A. The IMP37 regulator family dropout voltage is guaranteed to be 0.95V or lower at 0.8A. At 100mA, the maximum dropout voltage is 0.8V. Compared with “1117” type LDOs, the IMP37 has a 20 lower dropout voltage.
