Internal 1.3Ω P-MOSFET draws no base-current.
Low ground current of 55µA.
Output voltage accuracy of 1% at 3.3V/5V.
Input voltage range up to 12V (5V output version)
Extremely tight load and line regulation.
Fast transient response.
Current limiting and thermal protection.
DESCRIPTION
The SS6721/6721D are 150/300mA low dropout
linear regulators. The superior characteristics of the
SS6721 and SS6721D include zero base-current
loss, very low dropout voltage, and 1% accuracy
of output voltage. Typical ground current is
approximately 55µA, across the load range
from zero to maximum. With an output current
of 100mA, the dropout voltage of the SS6721
and SS6721D is substantially lower (130mV for
SS6721-50 and SS6721D-50, and 180mV for the
SS6721-33 and SS6721D-33) when compared
with a bipolar device. Built-in output current and
thermal limiting provide maximum protection of the
SS6721 and SS6721D against fault conditions.
The SS6721 and SS6721D are available in
the popular SOT-89 and TO-92 packages.
RoHS compliant.
APPLICATIONS
LAN Cards.
Wireless Communication Systems.
Battery Powered Systems.

Guaranteed by design.
Regulation is measured at a constant junction temperature, which is maintained using pulse
testing.
Current limit is measured by pulse testing.
Dropout voltage is defined as voltage differential at which the output voltage drops 100mV with
an initial 1V differential between input and output.
Specifications over -40°C to 85°C operating temperature range are guaranteed by design with
Statistical Quality Controls (SQC), not production test.
