PRODUCT PREVIEW (Subject to change without notice) October 9, 2001 VR 1 2 7.7 V 3 Data Sheet 27468.23 8178 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. Dwg.
