General Description
The TC57 is a low dropout
regulator controller that operates with an external
PNP pass
transistor, allowing the user to tailor the LDO characteristics to suit the application at hand. This results in lower dropout operation (and often lower cost) compared with traditional linear
regulators with on-board pass
transistors. The maximum output current of a TC57based
regulator circuit is limited only by the characteristics of the external pass
transistor. For example, a maximum output current of 650mA (with a dropout voltage of 100mV) results when an FZT749 pass
transistor is used, while a Darlington configuration can deliver up to 4A. Flexibility, and superior performance make this family of
regulator controllers the ideal choice in applications where low dropout voltage and low installed cost are key.
