Additional Details

The XC6207B332DR operates with an input voltage range typically slightly above its 3.3V output. The quiescent current is very low, often in the microampere range, making it suitable for always-on applications. It also includes a chip enable pin, which allows the regulator to be completely shut down to further reduce power consumption when not needed. The device is typically available in small surface-mount packages such as SOT-25 or similar.
