General Description

The RT2516 is a high performance positive voltage regulator

designed for use in applications requiring ultra-low input

It operates with an input voltage as low as 1.4V, with output

voltage programmable as low as 0.5V. The RT2516

output voltage is very close to input voltage. Additionally,

the RT2516 has an enable pin to further reduce power

dissipation while shutdown. The RT2516 provides

excellent regulation over variations in line, load and

temperature. The RT2516 is available in the SOP-8

(Exposed Pad) package. The output voltage can be set

by an external divider depending on how the FB pin is

configured.
