Automotive linear voltage regulator 8 fixed configurable output voltages

With 8 fixed configurable output voltages from 0.8 to 5 V, the L99VR02J offers a rich set of features to help meet functional safety requirements

A low dropout linear voltage regulator designed for automotive applications, the L99VR02J delivers up to 500 mA of load current and consumes only 1 μA of quiescent current when disabled.
With an operating input voltage range between 2.15 and 28 V, this LDO offers 8 selectable fixed output voltages from 0.8 to 5.0 V.
Able to operate both in post regulation, attached to a pre-regulated voltage, or directly connected to battery, the L99VR02J features enable, reset, autonomous watchdog, advanced thermal warning, fast output discharge and IShort control functions.
Available in PowerSSO-12 packages, its excellent thermal performance ensures a good fit with electronic applications in high-temperature environments.
