The APE8800A is a low dropout, positive linear regulator with very low quiescent current. The APE8800A can supply 300mA output current with low dropout voltage at about 250mV. The BP pin with a 10nF bypass capacitor can help reduce the output noise level. The shutdown function can provide remote control for the external signal to decide the on/off state of APE8800A. With a logic high level at SHDN pin, the device is in the on state, and vice versa.

The APE8800A regulator is able to operate with output capacitors as small as 1F for stability. Other than the current limit protection, APE8800A also offers the on chip thermal shutdown feature providing protection against overload or any condition when the ambient temperature exceeds the maximum junction temperature.

The APE8800A offers high precision output voltage of ± 2%. It is available in fixed output voltages including 1.5V, 1.8V, 2.5V, 2.8V, 3.0V, and 3.3V. The APE8800A is housed in low-profile, space-saving 5-lead SOT-23-5 package.
