Overview
The NCP160, specifically the NCP1602DCCSNT1G model from onsemi, is a high-performance linear voltage regulator designed to meet the stringent requirements of RF and analog circuits. This regulator is capable of supplying up to 250 mA of output current and is distinguished by its ultra-low noise and high Power Supply Rejection Ratio (PSRR). The device is available in ultra-small packages, including the Chip Scale Package (CSP) and XDFN-4, making it ideal for space-constrained applications.
