Three best LDOs for less than 200 mA, wide input voltage regulation

Low dropout regulators (LDOs) are preferred over switching regulators to power noise sensitive electronics circuits. Electronic engineers look out for LDOs with low quiescent current to save power consumption. To design IoT enabled smart sensors, variable health monitoring devices, and any battery-operated sensor systems require every component which are small in size and also low in power consumption. Listed in this article three best LDOs for such designs where current requirement is not more than 200 mA. 1. LDK220 is a low drop voltage regulator from STMicroelectronics delivering maximum output current of 200 mA from input voltage range of 2.5 V to 13.2 V. STMicroelectronics can customise output voltage in the range of 1.2 V to 12 V with 100mV step and also it can be adjustable based on the customer request. With a drop out voltage of 100 mV, this device features low quiescent current of 55 µA and 1 µA in off mode. This low noise device features logic controlled electronic shutdown, internal current and thermal limit, can work with a ceramic capacitor 1 µF with operating temperature range of -40°C to 125°C.
