General Description
The AME8844 family of positive, linear regulators fea-
ture low quiescent current (45µA typ.) with low dropout
voltage, making them ideal for battery applications.
Output voltages are set at the factory and trimmed to
1.5% accuracy.
These rugged devices have both Thermal Shutdown,
and Current Fold-back to prevent device failure under the
"Worst" operating conditions.
An additional feature is a
“Power
Good” detector, which
pulls low when the output is out of regulation.
The AME8844 is stable with an output capacitance of
4.7µF or greater.

AME8844AEQA AME8844BEQA
Enable pin.
When pulled low, the PMOS pass transistor turns off, current
consuming less than 1µA.
Input voltage pin.
It should be decoupled with 1
µ
F or greater capacitor.
Feedback output voltage for adjustable device.
Power-Good output.
This open-drain output is low when output is out of regulation.
LDO voltage regulator output pin.
It should be decoupled with a 4.7µF or greater value low ESR
ceramic capacitor.
Ground connection pin.
