General Description
The G914X is a low supply current, low dropout linear
regulator that comes in a space saving SOT23-5
package. The supply current at no-load is 55µA. In the
shutdown mode, the maximum supply current is less
than 1µA. Operating voltage range of the G914X is
from 2.5V to 5.5V. The over-current protection limit is
set at 350mA typical and 200mA minimum. An
over-temperature protection circuit is built-in in the
G914X to prevent thermal overload. These power
saving features make the G914X ideal for use in the
battery-powered applications such as notebook com-
puters, cellular phones, and PDA’s.

Note 5: Regulation is measured at constant junction temperature using low duty cycle pulse testing. Parts are tested
for load regulation in the load range from 0mA to 150mA. Changes in output due to heating effects are cov-
ered by the thermal regulation specification.
