Recently New Japan Radio Co. Ltd has released the NJM2835 low dropout voltage regulator with a 20V maximum input voltage Io=500mA.
Since it is a low dropout voltage regulator, NJM2835 significantly reduces the power loss that occurs with conventional three-channel regulators triggered by differences in electric potential between input and output, reducing power consumption in electronic equipment.
The small-size 2.2µF ceramic capacitor compatibility and built-in bypass capacitor contribute to downsizing of the mounting board.
NJM2835 is a 500mA output low dropout voltage regulator featuring ceramic capacitor compatibility, high precision output (±1 percent), high ripple rejection ratio, low noise and maximum input voltage of 20V.
With its wide output voltage coverage of 2.1V-15.5V (0.1 step) and 500mA output current, the NJM2835 can be applied to the power sources of CDDs (12V system), A/V equipment (8-9V system) and motors (12V system).
The NJM2835 is suited for applications that are incompatible with the conventional model, NJM2830 (20V maximum input voltage Io=300mA), because of its low output current.




Thank you very much for that great article
I’ll take some of your suggestions and try to apply them.
