300mA CMOS LDO
AME8801 / 8812 / 8840
n General Description
n Functional Block Diagram
TheAME8801/8812/8840 family of positive, linear regu-
lators feature low quiescent current (30mA typ.) with low
dropout voltage, making them ideal for battery applica-
tions. Thespace-savingSOT-25/TSOT-25&SOT-26/TSOT-
26 packages are attractive for "Pocket" and "Hand Held"
applications.

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

In applications requiring a low noise, regulated supply,
place a 1000 pF capacitor between Bypass and Ground.
The AME8801 is stable with an output capacitance of
2.2mF or greater.
