It also assists medical researchers and technicians in obtaining optimal indicator readings in medical laboratories.

Working Principle

CAT6241-ADJMT5T3 consists of a voltage reference, a voltage follower, an error amplifier and a current limiter, which provide adjustable output range and improve the accuracy of output voltage. The voltage reference provides a stable voltage reference for the voltage follower, and the error amplifier compares the input voltage (which is connected to a potentiometer), and the output voltage.

The input voltage is sensed by the voltage follower, amplified by the error amplifier, and output from the current limiter. The current limiter prevents the device from exceeding the output current rating and stabilizes the output voltage. When the output voltage exceeds its limit, it is reduced to the limit through current limitation. This helps protect the devices from over-voltage.

On the other hand, when the output voltage drops below its limit, it is increased by the error amplifier, and output current is generated by the current limiter.

The CAT6241-ADJMT5T3 is equipped with an on/off control pin, so that it can be turned off by connecting it to ground or to the supply voltage when not used in order to avoid unnecessary power consumption.

Conclusion

CAT6241-ADJMT5T3 is a voltage regulator that belongs to the PMIC (Power Management Integrated Circuit) family and is further classified as a linear voltage regulator. The device is used in a variety of applications, such as in the communications, industrial, consumer, automotive and medical sectors. The device provides an adjustable output voltage range and improved output voltage accuracy while preventing excessive output current. It is also equipped with an on/off control pin, so that it can be turned off when not in use, thus minimising its power consumption.
