Ok, I'm reading over the data sheet for the TPS7150Q, and have a question. Does drop out voltage mean the point at which it can no longer provide a regulated 5V at XmA? So for the chart, at 500mA the drop out voltage is slightly < .15V (lets call it .15V for simplicity), does this mean that as long as my battery pack is supplying .15V or more, it can still produce 5V @ 500mA?
If so this seems really ideal.
EDIT: I think I've located this regulator: Digi-key seems to have it in dip, but JOOC, what does SC70-5 mean? Is this a type of packaging?
