What is LDOs?

LDOs, or Low-Dropout regulators, are a type of DC-DC linear voltage regulator. They are used to regulate a voltage, typically stepping it down from a higher voltage to a lower voltage while maintaining a stable output even when the input voltage is only slightly higher than the desired output voltage. LDOs are commonly used in portable devices and battery-powered systems due to their efficiency and simplicity, especially when the voltage difference is small, since they minimize power loss as heat compared to other types of regulators.
