Rev.5.1_00 EXTERNAL TRANSISTOR TYPE S-816 Series CMOS VOLTAGE REGULATOR The S-816 Series consists of external transistor type positive voltage regulators, which have been developed using the CMOS process. These voltage regulators incorporate an overcurrent protection, and shutdown function. A low drop-out type regulator with an output current ranging from several hundreds of mA to 1 A can be configured with the PNP transistor driven by this IC. Despite the features of the S-816, which is low current consumption, the improvement in its transient response characteristics of the IC with a newly deviced phase compensation circuit made it possible to employ the products of the S-816 Series even in applications where heavy input variation or load variation is expe
