Linear & Switching Voltage Regulators

REG103UA-A Description

The REG103UA-A from Texas Instruments is a high-performance, adjustable positive linear voltage regulator designed for precision power management in compact electronic systems. With an output current capability of 500mA, it supports input voltages up to 15V and delivers an adjustable output range of 1.295V to 5.5V, making it versatile for low-voltage applications. The device features a low dropout voltage of 0.28V at 500mA, ensuring efficient operation even with tight input-output differentials. Its 65dB PSRR (120Hz) minimizes noise, making it ideal for sensitive analog and digital circuits. Packaged in an 8-SOIC tube, this regulator is ROHS3 compliant and suitable for surface-mount assembly.
