ANPEC Electronics
3A, Ultra Low Dropout (0.23V Typical) Linear Regulator
Package Type: SOP-8P
The APL5930 is a 3A ultra low dropout linear regulator. The IC needs two supply voltages, one is a control voltage (VCNTL) for the control circuitry, the other is a main supply voltage (VIN) for power conversion, to reduce power dissipation and provide extremely low dropout voltage. The APL5930/B integrates many functions. A Power-OnReset (POR) circuit monitors both supply voltages on VCNTL and VIN pins to prevent erroneous operations. The functions of thermal shutdown and current-limit protect the device against thermal and current over-loads. A POK indicates the output voltage status with a delay time set internally. It can control other converter for power sequence. The APL5930/B can be enabled by other power systems. Pulling and holding the EN/ENB voltage below 0.4V enables/shuts off the output. The APL5930 is available in a SOP-8P package which features small size as SOP-8 and an Exposed Pad to reduce the junction-to-case resistance to extend power range of applications.
