GENERAL DESCRIPTION

The AMS2910 series of adjustable and fixed voltage regulators are designed to provide 1A output current and to operate
down to 1V input-to-output differential. The dropout voltage of the device is guaranteed maximum 1.5V at maximum output
current, decreasing at lower load currents.
On-chip trimming adjusts the reference voltage to 1%. Current limit is also trimmed, minimizing the stress under overload
conditions on both the regulator and power source circuitry.
The AMS2910 devices are pin compatible with other three-terminal regulators and are offered in the 3 lead TO-220 package,
in the 3Lead TO-263 (Plastic DD), in the TO-252 (D PAK) and in the low profile surface mount SOT-223 package.

Parameters identified with boldface type apply over the full operating temperature range.

Note 1: Absolute Maximum Ratings indicate limits beyond which damage to the device may occur. For guaranteed specifications and test conditions, see the

Electrical Characteristics

. The guaranteed specifications apply only for the test conditions listed.

Note 2: Line and Load regulation are guaranteed up to the maximum power dissipation of 1.2W. Power dissipation is determined by the input/output

differential and the output current. Guaranteed maximum power dissipation will not be available over the full input/output range.

Note 3: See thermal regulation specifications for changes in output voltage due to heating effects. Line and load regulation are measured at a constant junction

temperature by low duty cycle pulse testing. Load regulation is measured at the output lead ~1/8” from the package.

Note 4: Dropout voltage is specified over the full output current range of the device.
Note 5: Minimum load current is defined as the minimum output current required to maintain regulation. When 1.5 ≤ (V

guaranteed to regulate if the output current is greater than 10mA.
