General Description

The  CM8566  is  a  low  cost  linear  regulator  designed  to provide a desired output voltage or termination voltage for various applications by converting voltage supplies ranging from 1.6V to  6.0V.  The desired output voltage could be programmable by two external voltage divider resistors.

  The CM8566 is capable of sourcing or sinking up to 2A of current while regulating an output VOUT 

  voltage .The CM8566  provides low  profile 8-pin SOIC package to save system space.
