General Description
The APL5912 is a 5A ultra low dropout linear regulator.
This product is specifically designed to provide well supply voltage for front-side-bus termination on motherboard
and NB applications. The IC needs two supply voltages, a
control voltage for the circuitry and a main supply volatege
for power conversion, to reduc e power dissipation and
provide extremely low dropout.
The APL5912 integrates many functions. A Power-OnReset (POR) circuit monitors both supply voltages to prevent wrong operations. A thermal s hutdown and current
limit functions protect the device against thermal and current over-loads. A POK indicates the output status with
time delay which is set internally. It can control other converter for power sequence. The APL5912 is enabled by
other power system. Pulling and holding the EN pin below 0.3V shuts off the output.
The APL5912 is available in SOP-8P package which features small size as SOP-8 and an Exposed Pad to reduce
the junction-to-case resistanc e, being applicable in
2~2.5W applications.

Note: ANPEC lead-free products contain molding compounds/die attach materials and 100% matte tin plate termination finish; which
are fully compliant with RoHS. ANPEC lead-free products meet or exceed the lead-free requirements of IPC/JEDEC J-STD-020C for
MSL classification at lead-free peak reflow temperature. ANPEC defines “Green” to mean lead-free (RoHS compliant) and halogen
free (Br or Cl does not exceed 900ppm by weight in homogeneous material and total of Br and Cl does not exceed 1500ppm by
weight).
