These devices are an excellent choice for use in battery-powered applications such as cordless telephones, radio control systems, and portable computers. The AS2950 and AS2951 feature very low quiescent current and very low dropout voltage (Typ. 50mV at light load and 380mV at 100mA). This include a tight initial tolerance of 0.5% typ., extremely good load and line regulation of 0.05% typ. and very low output temperature coefficient, making the AS2950/AS2951 useful as a low-power voltage reference. Other key additional features of this device includes higher output curr...
