SAN JOSE, Calif.--Two new AEC-Q100 qualified, high-performance
linear regulators from Micrel offer wide input operation voltage
range, up to 120V DC, and output current of up to 25mA or 50mA.

The devices feature 25mA/50mA guaranteed out current and an adjustable output from 1.27V to 5.5V. They can withstand up to 120V DC at input and feature ultra-high PSRR of >90dB. Other features include a high output accuracy of + 3 percent accuracy, thermal shutdown and current limit protection. The devices come in a thermally efficient, 8-pin ePad MSOP package option.
The MAQ5281/82 family is ideal for the harsh environments often encountered in automotive and industrial applications, the company said.
Pricing/availability
The MAQ5281/82 are currently available in volume, and pricing starts at $1.00/$1.05 for 1,000-piece volumes. Click here to access samples.

Well, clicking on the ONLY link in the piece, called "Click here to access samples" results in an error message "The requested URL was rejected. Please consult with your administrator." Not very helpful! Why not put in a URL to a DATA SHEET. If this magazine/newsletter is intended for designers, why do you treat us like we only read "executive summaries"?? Get your act together please!
