The TPS7A24 is an 18-V, low quiescent current, low-dropout (LDO) linear regulator. The low I_Q performance makes the TPS7A24 an excellent choice for battery-powered or line-power applications that are expected to meet increasingly stringent standby-power standards. The fixed-output versions have the advantage of providing better accuracy with fewer external components, whereas the adjustable version has the flexibility for a far wider output voltage range.

The 1.25% accuracy over temperature makes this device an excellent choice for meeting a wide range of microcontroller power requirements.

For increased reliability, the TPS7A24 also incorporates overcurrent, overshoot pulldown, and thermal shutdown protection. The operating junction temperature is –40°C to +125°C, and adds margin for applications concerned with higher working ambient temperatures.
