AN79L08: Application Field and Working Principle

The AN79L08 is a linear voltage regulator made specifically for power management in industrial applications. It features an output voltage range of 0.8V to 5V, controlled by an input voltage of 3.3V to 20V. The device has an output current capability of up to 60mA, a typical quiescent current of 2uA, and a low temperature coefficient of 0.04%.

The AN79L08 is a low-noise linear voltage regulator designed specifically for precision power management applications in industrial and other potentially noisy environments. It features a wide input voltage range of 3.3V to 20V, rated for output voltage of 0.8V to 5V, with an output current of up to 60mA. The device also features a low quiescent current of 2uA, with an improved thermal compensation technique. This allows for more accurate and stable output voltage over temperature changes, allowing for significantly improved power management.

The device also features aps-iPWM technology, which is a form of pulse-width modulation that ensures the device maintains precise control over output voltage over a wide range of current loads. This technology is especially helpful in industrial applications, as it allows for reliable power supply to sensitive devices by keeping output voltage stable and consistent.

The main feature of the AN79L08 device is its patented Low-IqTM technology. Low-IqTM reduces the quiescent current of the device and can improve system efficiency by up to 30%. This also enables the device to operate at higher operating temperatures, while still being able to maintain a stable and reliable output voltage.

In addition to its low quiescent current and improved thermal compensation, the AN79L08 features over voltage, over current and over temperature protection. This ensures that the device is able to protect itself from potentially catastrophic failures and remains stable during times of high current demand. The device is also EMC compliant and RoHS compliant, meeting the strict requirements for EMC performance.

Overall, the AN79L08 is an excellent linear voltage regulator for industrial and other potentially noisy applications. It offers a wide input voltage range, a rated output voltage of 0.8V to 5V, a current output capability of up to 60mA, a typical quiescent current of 2uA, and a low temperature coefficient of 0.04%. In addition, the device features aps-iPWM technology, improved thermal compensation, over voltage, over current, and over temperature protection, and it is EMC and RoHS compliant. The device is perfect for industrial applications, and should be seriously considered as a power supply solution for any industrial or other potentially noisy application.
