Voltage regulator provides portable precision

Torex Semiconductor has introduced the XC6202 series of high-voltage positive voltage regulator ICs.

Torex Semiconductor has introduced the XC6202 series of high-voltage positive voltage regulator ICs.

Fabricated in CMOS and manufactured using the very latest laser trimming techniques the new XC6202 combines a current limiter circuit, a driver transistor, a precision voltage reference and an error correction circuit in a single IC package.

With a maximum input voltage of 20V and output voltages between 1.8 and 6.0V, available in 0.1V steps, together with 9, 12 and 15V parts as standard, the XC6202 is designed for the higher voltage regulator needs of a wide range of battery powered equipment, cameras, video cameras and palmtops.

It is also an ideal reference voltage source, with a high accuracy of +/-2%.

As expected from a leading-edge power management IC, power consumption is very low typically 10.0mA at 3.3V.

The XC6202 provides designers with large output currents of more than 100mA, together with a significantly small dropout voltage of 0.20V at 30mA.

The built-in current limiter circuit protects the IC from any overshoot currents that may occur should the output experience a short circuit.

The new XC6202 voltage regulator is available in both SOT-23 and SOT-89 packages.

The SOT-89 device is pin-compatible with Torex Semiconductor's lower voltage rated (10V max) XC6201, allowing designers to maintain a common design over a wide range of voltage requirements.

Operating temperature range is -40 to +85C.
