Analog – Low-dropout regulators enable cleaner and faster communications

Analog Devices has announced two new ranges of low-dropout regulators (LDOs) offering ultra-low noise performance that eliminate unwanted system noise and improve receiver, transmitter, and audio quality. Target applications for the ADP176x and ADP715x LDOs include wireless base stations, wired communications, industrial instrumentation, high-end audio equipment, and medical devices. The new LDOs enable cleaner power rails, faster transient response, and higher power supply rejection ratio (PSRR) in noise-sensitive precision analog and RF applications, particularly when higher data rates are involved.
