NCV8537
500 mA High Accuracy Low
Dropout Linear Regulator,
with Power Good Function
The NCV8537 is a high performance low dropout linear voltage
regulator. Based on the popular NCV8535, the device retains all the
best features of its predecessor which includes high accuracy,
excellent stability, low noise performance and reverse bias protection
but now includes a Power Good output signal to enable monitoring of
the supply system. The device is available with fixed or adjustable
outputs and is packaged in a 10 pin 3x3 mm DFN package.
