Internal P-Channel Pass Transistor

The LTC1258 series features an internal P-channel

MOSFET pass transistor. This provides several advan-

tages over similar designs using a PNP bipolar pass

transistor.

These references consume only 4

µA of quiescent current

under light and heavy loads as well as in dropout; whereas,

PNP-based references waste considerable amounts of

current when the pass transistor is saturated. In addition,

the LTC1258 series provides a lower dropout voltage

(200mV max) than PNP-based references.
