Telecom and instrumentation applications often require a low noise voltage regulator. Frequently this requirement coincides with the need for low regulator dropout and small quiescent current. LTC recently introduced a family of devices to address this problem. Table 166.1 shows a variety of packages, power ranges and features in three basic regulator types. The SOT-23 packaged LT1761 has only 20μVRMS noise with 300mV dropout at 100mA. Quiescent current is only 20μA.
