FEATURES
The AMC8877 product is a low noise, low dropout
linear regulator operating from 2.5V to 6.5V input.
An external capacitor can be connected to the
bypass pin to lower the output noise level to
30µV
RMS
.
Designed with a P-channel MOSFET output
transistor, the AMC8877 consume a low supply
current, independent of the load current and
dropout voltage. The internal thermal shut down
circuit will limits the junction temperature to
below 150°C. Other features include thermal
protection, reverse battery protection and output
current limit. The AMC8877 come in a miniature
5-pin SOT-23 package.

µF
(or larger) capacitor is recommended between V

and GND for stability and improving the regulator’s transient response. The
ESR (Effective Series Resistance.) of this capacitor has no effect on regulator stability, but low ESR capacitors improve high frequency transient
response. The value of this capacitor may be increased without limit, but values larger than 10uF tend to increase the settling time after a step
change in input voltage or output current. The part may oscillate without the capacitor. Any type of capacitor can be used, but not Aluminum
electrolytics when operating below -25

C, The capacitance may be increased without limit.
