New Japan Radio Company Releases New 500mA Output Low Dropout Voltage Regulator

New Japan Radio Co., Ltd. has released the NJM2835, 20V maximum input voltage Io=500mA low dropout voltage regulator, suitable for power sources of office appliances and a range of A/V equipment, such as DSC, DVC, and TV. The NJM2835 is a 500mA output low dropout voltage regulator featuring ceramic capacitor compatibility, high precision output (±1%), high ripple rejection ratio, low noise, and maximum input voltage of 20V.

With its wide output voltage coverage of 2.1V~15.5V (0.1 step) and 500mA output current, the NJM2835 can be applied to the power sources of CDDs (12V system), A/V equipment (8~9V system), motors (12V system). Since it is a low dropout voltage regulator, the NJM2835 is said to significantly reduce the power loss that occurs with conventional 3-channel regulators triggered by differences in electric potential between input and output, and to thereby reduce wasteful power consumption of electronic equipment. The small-size 2.2µF ceramic capacitor compatibility and built-in bypass capacitor contribute to downsizing of the mounting board.

The NJM2835 is suitable for applications that are incompatible with the conventional model, NJM2830 (20V maximum input voltage Io=300mA), because of its low output current.
