series introduction
# REG104GA - 2 Product Series Introduction
## 1. Overview
The REG104GA - 2 product series is a cutting - edge line of voltage regulators designed to meet the diverse and demanding power management needs of modern electronic systems. These regulators are engineered with precision and advanced semiconductor technology to provide stable, efficient, and reliable voltage regulation in a wide range of applications.
## 2. Key Features
### 2.1 High Precision Voltage Regulation
The REG104GA - 2 series offers extremely accurate output voltage regulation. With a tight tolerance, it can maintain the output voltage within a very narrow range, even in the face of varying input voltages and load currents. This high precision is crucial for applications where stable power supply is essential, such as in sensitive analog circuits, microcontrollers, and data acquisition systems.
### 2.2 Low Dropout Voltage
One of the standout features of this product series is its low dropout voltage. The low dropout characteristic allows the regulator to operate with a small difference between the input and output voltages. This is particularly beneficial in battery - powered applications, as it enables the battery to be used more effectively until its voltage drops to a lower level. For example, in portable devices like smartphones, tablets, and wearable electronics, the low dropout voltage helps to extend the battery life.
### 2.3 Low Quiescent Current
The REG104GA - 2 regulators consume very low quiescent current. Quiescent current is the current drawn by the regulator when there is no load or a very light load. A low quiescent current is essential for power - sensitive applications, as it minimizes the power consumption of the regulator itself. This feature is especially important in battery - operated devices where every bit of power conservation counts, helping to maximize the overall energy efficiency of the system.
### 2.4 Thermal Protection
To ensure the reliability and longevity of the regulators, the REG104GA - 2 series is equipped with built - in thermal protection. In case the device temperature rises above a safe operating limit due to excessive power dissipation or high ambient temperature, the thermal protection mechanism will automatically reduce the output current or shut down the regulator. This protects the device from overheating and potential damage, making it suitable for use in high - temperature environments or applications with high power densities.
### 2.5 Short - Circuit Protection
Another important safety feature is the short - circuit protection. If the output of the regulator is accidentally short - circuited to ground or another low - impedance path, the short - circuit protection circuitry will limit the current flow to a safe level. This prevents excessive current from flowing through the regulator, which could otherwise cause permanent damage to the device. It provides an additional layer of protection for both the regulator and the connected load.
## 3. Technical Specifications
### 3.1 Input Voltage Range
The REG104GA - 2 series typically supports a wide input voltage range. This flexibility allows it to be used in various power supply scenarios, whether it is powered by a battery with a relatively low voltage or a higher - voltage power source such as a DC - DC converter. The specific input voltage range may vary depending on the model within the series, but it generally covers a range that can accommodate different types of power sources commonly used in electronic systems.
### 3.2 Output Voltage Options
The regulators in the REG104GA - 2 series offer multiple output voltage options. This allows designers to select the appropriate output voltage according to the requirements of their specific application. The output voltages are available in standard values, which are commonly used in the electronics industry, making it easy to integrate the regulator into existing circuit designs.
