DescripTion
The
LT
®
1120A
is a combination micropower positive regu-
lator and free collector comparator on a single monolithic
chip. With only 20µA supply current, the LT1120A can
supply over 125mA of output current. Input voltage range
is from 4.5V to 36V and dropout voltage is 0.6V at 125mA.
Dropout voltage decreases with lower load currents. Also
included on the chip is a class B output 2.5V reference
that can either source or sink current. This allows it to be
used as a supply splitter or auxiliary output. A shutdown
pin allows logic shutdown of the output.
The comparator can be used for system or battery moni-
toring. For example, the comparator can be used to warn
of low system voltage. Frequency compensation of the
comparator for amplifier applications can be obtained by
adding external output capacitance.

Note 1:
Stresses beyond those listed under Absolute Maximum Ratings
may cause permanent damage to the device. Exposure to any Absolute
Maximum Rating condition for extended periods may affect device
reliability and lifetime.
Note 2:
For T
