The TLV704 low-dropout (LDO) linear
voltage regulator is a low quiescent current device that offers the benefits of a
wide input voltage range and low-power operation in miniaturized packaging. Thus,
the TLV704 is designed for battery-powered applications and as a power-management
attachment to low-power microcontrollers.The TLV704 LDO supports a low dropout
of typically 850 mV at 100 mA of load current. The low quiescent current (3.4 µA
typically) is stable over the entire range of output load current (0 mA to 150 mA).
The TLV704 also features an internal soft-start to lower the inrush current. The
built-in overcurrent limit protection helps protect the regulator in the event of a
load short or fault.The TLV704 is available in a 2.90-mm ×
1.60-mm SOT23-5 package, which is useful for cost-effective board manufacturing.
