Semtech - SC563

The SC563 LDO provides two regulated outputs for up to 300 mA for each output channel. The LDO accepts an input supply rail of 2.3 V to 5.5 V and provides two fixed, regulated outputs, which eliminate the need for external resistor divider networks. It comes in a tiny 1.6 mm × 1.2 mm, ultra-thin 0.6 mm 8 lead package. The LDO is ESD hardened to greater than 4 kV for robust circuit protection.
