However, designers may continue to use large output capacitors needed with competitive devices. With guaranteed operation down to 1.8V, battery-powered applications can extend operation to lower cell voltages, thus enhancing battery life. Low dropout performance also means extra data backup time during power fail in CPU-based systems. These devices solve capacitor allocation problems by giving designers the freedom to eliminate or use bulk capacitors, making it the simplest to use regulator on the market. The higher output REG102 is also available in SOT223-5.
