Linear Technology LTC987ES5-2.5#TRPBF Voltage Regulator

The LTC987ES5-2.5#TRPBF is a high-performance, low-dropout linear regulator from Linear Technology, a brand synonymous with precision, reliability, and innovation in the field of analog integrated circuits. This compact voltage regulator is designed to deliver a fixed output voltage of 2.5V with an input voltage range of up to 20V, which makes it an ideal choice for a wide variety of applications, including portable devices, microprocessor and microcontroller power supplies, and post-regulation for switching supplies.

One of the key features of the LTC987ES5-2.5#TRPBF is its low dropout voltage, which ensures efficient operation even when the input voltage is very close to the output voltage, thus maximizing battery life in portable applications. The device is capable of supplying up to 150mA of output current, while maintaining a low-noise and stable voltage output, which is critical for sensitive RF and analog circuits.

The LTC987ES5-2.5#TRPBF comes in a compact SOT-23 package, which is ideal for space-constrained applications. Its small footprint does not compromise its performance, as it includes built-in protection features such as overcurrent protection and thermal shutdown, ensuring the safety and reliability of the connected components.

Furthermore, this regulator exhibits a very low quiescent current, which is beneficial for battery-powered devices, as it extends the battery life by reducing the power consumed when the device is in standby mode. The quiescent current typically is less than 30µA, which is significantly lower than that of many competing regulators.

For ease of integration into various designs, the LTC987ES5-2.5#TRPBF is fully specified over the temperature range of -40°C to 125°C, which allows it to operate reliably in a broad range of environments and applications. Its robust design and consistent performance make it a preferred choice for designers looking for a voltage regulator that offers a perfect balance between power efficiency and space-saving without sacrificing quality.

In summary, the LTC987ES5-2.5#TRPBF from Linear Technology is a versatile, efficient, and reliable solution for applications requiring a stable 2.5V power supply. Its advanced features and compact design make it an excellent choice for both high-performance industrial applications and portable consumer electronics.
