DESCRIPTION
APPLICATIONS
The LP2966 dual ultra low-dropout (LDO) regulator
• Cellular and Wireless Applications
operates from a +2.70V to +7.0V input supply. Each
output delivers 150mA over full temperature range.
• Palmtop/Laptop Computer
The IC operates with extremely low drop-out voltage
• GPS Systems
and quiescent current, which makes it very suitable
• Flat Panel Displays
for battery powered and portable applications. Each
LDO in the LP2966 has independent shutdown
• Post Regulators
capability. The LP2966 provides low noise
• USB Applications
performance with low ground pin current in an
• Hand Held Equipment and Multimeters
extremely small VSSOP-8 package (refer to package
dimensions and CONNECTION DIAGRAM for more
• Wireless Data Terminals
information on VSSOP-8 package). A wide range of
• Other Battery Powered Applications
preset voltage options are available for each output.
In addition, many more are available upon request
with minimum orders. In all, 256 voltage combinations
are possible.
