DESCRIPTION
The LT
®
1118 family of low dropout regulators has the
unique capability of maintaining output regulation while
sourcing or sinking load current. The 2.85V output voltage
regulator is ideal for use as a Boulay termination of up
to 27 SCSI data lines. The regulator maintains regulation
while both sourcing and sinking current, enabling the use
of active negation drivers for improved noise immunity on
the data lines. Regulation of output voltage is maintained
for TERMPWR voltages as low as 4.0V. When unloaded,
quiescent supply current is a low 600μA, allowing continu-
ous connection to the TERMPWR lines. An ultralow power
shutdown mode is also available on the SO-8 version. In
Shutdown the output is high impedance and supply cur-
rent drops to less than 10μA.
Current limits in both sourcing and sinking modes, plus
on-chip thermal shutdown make the circuit tolerant of
output fault conditions.
The LT1118 is available in 3-lead SOT-223 and 8-lead SO
packages.
