AZ2940UD-2.5TRE1

Linear voltage regulators, commonly known as linear regulators, are commonly used in power containers, personal and storage computer systems, consumer electronic products, communications industry equipment, industrial instrumentation and other applications. AZ2940UD-2.5TRE1 is a type of linear voltage regulator from Diodes Inc., a semiconductor company. It is primarily applied in computing supplies and consumer electronic space.

The AZ2940UD-2.5TRE1 linear voltage regulator is a low drop-out (LDO) type device designed to provide well-regulated output voltages from a range of input voltages. It offers an adjustable output voltage from 1.275 to 6.0 volts and an input voltage range of 1.4 to 7.0 volts. The device has a maximum drop-out voltage (at the specified load current) of only 0.6V and a 160mA output current capability. The device is available in the 3-pins SOT-23 package.

The AZ2940UD-2.5TRE1 linear voltage regulator is designed to provide a cost-effective solution for power supply and line regulation applications. It features a wide output voltage range, low drop-out voltage and low quiescent current. The device is also able to maintain excellent line and load regulation over its entire input/output voltage range. The device is capable of delivering upto 160mA of output current and is protected with reverse current and over-current protections.

The working principle of AZ2940UD-2.5TRE1 linear voltage regulator is quite simple. When the input voltage supplied to the regulator is greater than the desired output voltage, the pass element of the regulator (transistor, diode or operational amplifier) effectively connects the input voltage line to the output voltage line. The output voltage is then set with a reference voltage source, which is usually generated by the on-chip error amplifier. As the input voltage decreases, the pass element starts operating in a closed loop and actively compensates for the voltage drop, thus allowing the output voltage to remain unaffected.

The AZ2940UD-2.5TRE1 linear voltage regulator from Diodes Inc. is designed to take on the increasing demand for ever-lower power supplies. Its wide input/output voltage ranges and excellent line/load regulation allows it to be used in a variety of applications, including computing supplies and consumer electronics. The device also features low quiescent current and reverse current protection, making it well suited for battery operated applications. It is available in a small footprint 3-pins SOT-23 package, which makes it suitable for applications where space is at a premium. Thus, the AZ2940UD-2.5TRE1 provides a cost effective solution for power supply and line regulation applications.
