The LT
®
1120A is a combination micropower positive
regulator and free collector comparator on a single mono-
lithic chip. With only 20µA supply current, the LT1120A
can supply over 125mA of output current. Input voltage
range is from 4.5V to 36V and dropout voltage is 0.6V at
125mA. Dropout voltage decreases with lower load cur-
rents. Also included on the chip is a class B output 2.5V
reference that can either source or sink current. This
allows it to be used as a supply splitter or auxiliary output.
A shutdown pin allows logic shutdown of the output.
The comparator can be used for system or battery moni-
toring. For example, the comparator can be used to warn
of low system voltage. Frequency compensation of the
comparator for amplifier applications can be obtained by
adding external output capacitance.
