General Description

The TC1268 is a fixed output, fast turn-on, high accuracy (typically ±0.5) CMOS low dropout regulator. Designed specifically for battery-operated systems, the TC1268’s CMOS construction eliminates wasted ground current, significantly extending battery life. Total supply current is typically 80µA at full load (20 to 60 times lower than in bipolar regulators).
