  advertisement 10ВµA Quiescent Current Step-Down Regulators Extend
  Standby Time in Handheld Products – Design Note 235
  Greg Dittmer
  Importance of Low Quiescent Current
  Many handheld products on the market today are used
  only occasionally but must be kept alive and ready all
  the time. When not being used, the circuitry is powered
  down to save battery energy, with a minimum amount
  of circuitry remaining on. Although the supply current
  is significantly reduced in this low power standby mode,
  the battery energy will still be slowly depleted to power
  the keep-alive circuitry and the regulator. If the device
  spends most of its time in this standby mode, the quiescent current of the regulator can have a significant
  effect on the life of the battery (see Figure 1).
  To maximize the life of the battery in these types of
  products, Linear Technology has extended its family
  of 10ОјA step-down regulators to provide three new
  products. The LTC В®1771 is a constant off-time controller that drives an external P-channel MOSFET for
  output loads up to 5A. The LTC1877 and LTC1878 are
  monolithic regulators that provide constant frequency
  (550kHz) plus synchronous operation for loads up
  to 600mA. Due to their micropower architecture, the
  LTC1771, LTC1877 and LTC1878 require only 10ОјA of …
