LOW-DROPOUT,
7.7 V PREREGULATOR
Designed specifically to meet the stringent requirements of automotive applications, the A8178LLT provides an output voltage of 7.7 V
±15% for supply voltages greater than 6.9 V. This device also provide
a low-dropout tracking output for supply voltages down to 2.5 V. This
regulator is intended to be used with sensitive automotive electronics
systems that do not have the capability of low dropout operation and
cannot withstand the high-voltage transients typical of automotive
applications. This 7.7 V preregulator will withstand all ISO pulses
(ignition coil disconnect requires an external diode) and will continue to
operate during positive power supply transients (noise).
This device is supplied in a small-outline plastic transistor package
for surface-mount applications. The A8178LLT is furnished in the SOT89/TO-243AA for increased allowable package power dissipation.
