The voltage regulator supports 2.5V to 13.2V input with very low dropout (100 mV @ 100 mA), low quiescent current

The REF03 precision voltage reference provides a stable 2.5 V output, with minimal change for variations in supply voltage, ambient temperature, or loading conditions. Single-supply operation over an input voltage range of 4.5 V to 33 V with a current drain of 1 mA and good temperature stability is achieved using an improved band gap design. Primarily targeted at price sensitive applications, the REF03 is available in plastic mini DIPs and surface-mount small outline plastic packages. For improved performance or ?40?C to 125?C operation, see the ADR03 data sheet.

The MIC4576 is a series of easy-to-use fixed and adjustable BiCMOS step-down (buck) switch-mode voltage regulators. The 200 kHz MIC4576 duplicates the pinout and function of the 52 kHz LM2576. The higher switching frequency may allow up to a 2:1 reduction in output filter inductor size. The MIC4576 is available in 3.3V, and 5V fixed output versions or a 1.23V to 33V adjustable output version. Both versions are capable of driving a 3A load with excellent line and load regulation. The feedback voltage is guaranteed to ?2% tolerance for adjustable versions, and the output voltage is guaranteed to ?3% for fixed versions, within specified voltages and load conditions. The oscillator frequency is guaranteed to ?10%. In Shutdown mode, the regulator draws less than 200 ?A shutdown current. The regulator performs cycle-by-cycle current limiting and thermal shutdown for protection under fault conditions. This series of simple switch-mode regulators requires a minimum number of external components and can operate using a standard series of inductors. Frequency compensation is provided internally. The MIC4576 is available in TO-220 (T) and TO-263 (U) packages for the industrial temperature range.
