FIXED 2.5, 3.3 AND 5 VOLT MINIATURE VOLTAG E REGULATORS
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 2.5V device, ideal
for low power applications. The initial devices in the
series regulate to 2.5 or 5V with a drive capability up to
50mA.
The device is designed with space saving in mind and
is available in the small outline SOT23 package. The
ZMR250 has expanded its input voltage range to
22.5V and the ZMR500 has expanded its input voltage
range to 25V; equaling that of the ZMR25H and
ZMR50H respectively.
The ZMR330 provides a 3.3V output over an input
range of 5V to 24V.
Features

Notes: 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 Tamb =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 package, is calculated assuming that the device is mounted on a ceramic
substrate measuring 15 x 15 x 0.6mm.
