Op amps are voltage-amplifying devices designed to be used with external feedback components—resistors and capacitors—that are situated between their output and input terminals.

Low dropout refers to the difference between the input and output voltages that allows the IC to regulate the output voltage. That is, the LDO device regulates the output voltage until its input ...

Internal operating voltages in electronic devices continue to decrease, but input-source voltages don't change. As the difference between input and output voltages increases, so does the improvement ...
