Toshiba's TCR3U series reduces the bias current required to operate LDO regulators under no-load compared to existing products on the market. In addition, these devices have a bypass mode that ensures there is no sudden increase in bias current when the input voltage drops below a preset output voltage level. Solves a problem common to most typical Ldos. When the battery begins to drain, the input voltage of the LDO may drop below the preset output voltage, resulting in increased power consumption. The TCR3U series bypass mode prevents this from happening.

     While the battery itself is key to improving a product's battery life, the current consumption of the design is also very important. Common submodules such as sensing and data communication typically require large amounts of current. Toshiba's low bias current LDO helps reduce passive drains that occur during standby
