THREE-TERMINAL LOW DROPOUT VOLTAGE REGULATOR
#
DESCRIPTION
The
µ
PC2918, 2925 and 2926 are three-terminal low dropout voltage regulators with the 1-A output. The
µ
PC2918
outputs 1.8 V, the
µ
PC2925 outputs 2.5 V and the
µ
PC2926 outputs 2.6 V. Since these regulators use a PNP
transistor for the output stage, they achieve a low dropout voltage of 0.7 V TYP. at I
O
= 1 A and minimize the power
dissipation of the IC. As a result, these regulators can be used to realize sets with lower voltage and power
dissipation.

Note
Internally limited. When the operating junction temperature rises over 150°C, the internal circuit shuts down the
output voltage.
Caution If the absolute maximum rating of any of the above parameters is exceeded even momentarily, the
quality of the product may be degraded. In other words, absolute maximum ratings specify the
values exceeding which the product may be physically damaged. Be sure to use the product with
these ratings never exceeded.

: If the OUTPUT pin has a lower voltage than the GND pin, connect a Schottky barrier diode.
Caution Make sure that no voltage is applied to the OUTPUT pin from external.

Caution Use of conditions other than the above-listed recommended operating conditions is not a problem
as long as the absolute maximum ratings are not exceeded. However, since the use of such
conditions diminishes the margin of safety, careful evaluation is required before such conditions
are used. Moreover, using the MAX. value for all the recommended operating conditions is not
guaranteed to be safe.
