Very Low Input /Very Low Dropout
1 Amp Regulator With Enable
POWER MANAGEMENT
Description
The SC4211 is a high performance positive voltage
regulator designed for use in applications requiring very
low Input voltage and very low dropout voltage at up to
1 amperes. It operates with a Vin as low as 1.4V, with
output voltage programmable as low as 0.5V. The
SC4211 features ultra low dropout, ideal for applications
where Vout is very close to Vin. Additionally, the SC4211
has an enable pin to further reduce power dissipation
while shut- down. The SC4211 provides excellent regu-
lation over variations in line, load and temperature.
The SC4211 is available in the SOIC-8EDP (Exposed Die
Pad) package. The output voltage can be set via an exter-
nal divider or to fixed settings of 0.5V and 1V depending
on how the FB pin is configured.
