Diodes has used a simple emitter-follower design to create linear voltage regulators that work with inputs up to 60V in automotive environments. The ZXTR2105FQ, ZXTR2108FQ and ZXTR2112FQ are designed to deliver 5V, 8V, or 12V regulated outputs respectively from nominal battery supplies of 12V or 24V at up to 15mA. “These devices can tolerate battery ...
