FIXED 2.5 AND 5 VOLT
MINIATURE VOLTAGE REGULATORS
ISSUE 3- FEBRUARY 1998
DEVICE DESCRIPTION
The ZMR series of three terminal fixed
positive voltage regulators feature internal
current limit and will shut down under
thermal overload conditions making the
devices difficult to destroy.
The circuit design offers an exceptionally
low quiescent current, only 30µA for the 2.5
volt device, ideal for low power applications.
The initial devices in the series regulate to
2.5 or 5 volts with a drive capability up to
50mA, however, the flexible design will
allow other voltage selections to be made.
The device is designed with space saving in
mind and is available in the small outline
SOT23 package as well as SOT89 for higher
power applications. The SOT23 package is
ideal for applications where space is
restricted. The device is also available in
through hole TO92 package.

Note:
1. The maximum operating input voltage and output current of the device will be governed by the maximum
power dissipation of the selected package. Maximum package power dissipation is specified at 25 °C and
must be linearly derated to zero at T
amb
=125°C.
2. The following data represents pulse test conditions with junction temperatures as indicated at the initiation
of the test. Continuous operation of the devices with the stated conditions might exceed the power dissipation
limits of the chosen package.
3. Maximum power dissipation, for the SOT23 and SOT89 packages, is calculated assuming that the device
is mounted on a ceramic substrate measuring 15 x 15 x 0.6mm.
