RT9041A/B
500mA, Low Voltage, LDO Regulator with External Bias
Supply
General Description
The RT9041A/B are low voltage, low dropout linear
regulators with an external bias supply input. The bias
supply drives the gate of the internal N-Channel pass
transistor, making these devices ideal for applications that
require low voltage outputs from low voltage inputs.
RT9041A and RT9041B provide the fixed version from 1V
to 2V with 0.1V increment. Besides, RT9041B provides
more feature by using external resistors as adjustable
output voltage. The RT9041A/B include a current limit and
thermal shutdown that protects the regulator in the event
of a fault condition.
The RT9041A/B is available in a SOT-23-6 package.
