DESCRIPTION
The LX8941 is an adjustable, low dropout regulator rated for more than 1A of output current. It can regulate with as low as 0.8V headroom between the input and output voltages, at 1A output current, thus minimizing power dissipation. In addition, it can be used in applications where worst case supplies require a low input-output differential to maintain regulation. This feature makes it ideal for some processor applications that require 4V operation from a 5V supply. In addition, the LX8941 provides an on/off switch that reduces the IC quiescent current when activated, making it ideal for battery operated applications.
