Re: [lpc2000] OT: Voltage regulator (TO-252)

2005-08-03 by Peter Homann

Have a look at Maxim. http:/www.maxim-ic.com

They have a lot of suitable regulators.

The MAX8881 has a quiescent current of 10uA and can supply 200mA in a 
6/SOT23 package. Input voltage up to 12V. Volume price $0.86

Cheers

Peter.
