POWER MANAGEMENT
Description
The SC4211 is a high performance positive voltage
regulator designed for use in applications requiring very
low Input voltage and very low dropout voltage at up to 1
amp. It operates with a Vin as low as 1.4V, with output
voltage programmable as low as 0.5V. The SC4211 fea-
tures ultra low dropout, ideal for applications where Vout
is very close to Vin. Additionally, the SC4211 has an en-
able pin to further reduce power dissipation while shut-
down. The SC4211 provides excellent regulation over varia-
tions in line, load and temperature.

Available in SOIC-8EDP package
The SC4211 is available in the SOIC-8EDP (Exposed Die
Pad) package. The output voltage can be set via an exter-
nal divider or to 0.5V depending on how the FB pin is con-
figured.
