General Description

The HT72xx series of positive, linear regulators  features low quiescent current (4mA typ.) with low  dropout voltage, making them ideal for battery  applications. The space-saving 3-pin SOT23  package is attractive for ″Pocket″ and ″Hand Held″  applications. The devices are capable of supplying  300mA of output current continuously.

They are available with several fixed output voltages  ranging from 1.8V to 5.0V. Although designed  primarily as fixed voltage regulators, these devices  can be used with external components to obtain  variable voltages and currents.

These rugged devices have Thermal Shutdown and  Current Limiting to prevent device failure under the  ″Worst″ of operating conditions.
