The EMP8045 is a high voltage, low quiescent current, low dropout regulator with 150mA output driving capacity. The EMP8045, which operates over an input range of 3V to 32V, is stable with any capacitors, whose capacitance is larger than 1F, and suitable for powering battery-management ICs because of the virtue of its low quiescent current consumption and low dropout voltage. EMP8045 also includes bandgap voltage reference, Foldback current limiting and thermal overload protection.
