RT9172
3A Fixed Output Voltage LDO Regulator
General Description
The RT9172 series of low dropout linear regulators operate
from a 2.25V to 6V input supply. A wide range of preset
output voltage options is available. These low dropout
linear regulators respond very fast to step changes in load,
which are suitable for low voltage microprocessor
applications. The RT9172 uses an internal P-MOSFET as
the pass device, which does not cause extra GND current
in heavy load and dropout condition. The shutdown mode
of low operation current makes the IC suitable for power-
saving systems. The other features include current limiting
and over temperature protection.
