Data Sheet
While mousing around on the Mouser site, I stumbled across this LDO 5 volt regulator that, in a 3-lead TO220 package, appears to be a pin-compatible 7805 replacement,. It has less than 1/2 volt dropout vs approx 2 volts for the 7805.
It doesn't seem to require the large output capacitor that some LDO regulators want. (The data sheet implies that it's happy with a 22 uf electrolytic or a 10 uf tantalum.)
Does anyone see a "gotcha" with this part?
Thanks!
Tom
