Hi i am looking for a 5 volt voltage regulator that shall auto shutoff or make its o/p = 0v after the driop after low drop stage has been reachedi dont want an undefined voltage comuing out of the regulator. i want it to cease o/p or make its o/p = 0V. that is for example my main source is 9v battery and the chip can regulate till the input to it is 5.5V. Then what i want is that once the i/p battery has discharged to 5.5V the o/p becomes 0V : i dont want any undefined voltage( < 5v at o/p) thanks

Why insist on the voltage regulator doing that on its own? I guess it'd be much easier to find two chips to split this work among: one a comparator, the other a COTS voltage regulator. The comparator would look at the regulator's input, and if it finds it's too low, it'd just shut it off hard.
