NJR voltage regulator features on, off control

New Japan Radio (NJR) Co. Ltd has released the NJM2886, a low dropout voltage regulator that features an output current of 500mA, ripple rejection of 75dB at 1kHz, noise of 45?Vrms, and precision output of ±1 percent.

Suitable for DVDs and CD-ROMs, the products are surface-mountable, and are claimed to simplify DSP circuit design. The company was able to package the IC in TO-252-5 cases by adding two terminals to the previously used three terminals.

With on, off controls, the NJM2886 is priced at 67 cents each.
