Product Summary

The UK5N is an ultra-low supply current, low-dropout linear regulator intended for low-power applications that demand the longest possible battery life. Unlike inferior PNP-based designs, the UK5N pass elements maintain an ultra-low 2μA supply current throughout their entire operating range and in dropout. Despite their ultra-low power consumption, the UK5N have tight output accuracy (1.5%) and require just 1μF output capacitance to achieve good load-transient response. It is ideal for: (1)Smoke Detectors; (2)Remote Transmitters; (3)Smart Battery Packs; (4)Industrial Control Systems; (5)Microcontroller Power; (6)Real-Time Clock Backup Power; (7)PDAs and Handy-Terminals; (8)Battery-Powered Alarms.
