Hi guys.
I have situation where mu circuit is used with power sources usually rated at 5V. They give out something like 5.2V. But there are also 6V regulators that people want to use.
I have ICs that handle 3.6V - 5.5V. They also work on 6V but I want to make some protection to be correct with voltages.
So question is:
Can I use 5V LDO for protecting ICs?
How will work LDO regulation if input voltage will be 5V?
Will output voltage drop to something like 4.8V that is OK for ICs and everything will be OK or working in Dropout is not OK and I have to use 4V LDO by example?
Regards,
Kristaps
