General Description
The APL5913 is a 3A ultra low dropout linear regulator.
This product is specifically designed to provide well supply v olatage for front-side-bus termination on
motherboards and NB applications. The IC needs two
supply voltages, a control voltage for the c ircuitry and a
main supply voltage for power c onversion, to reduce
power diss ipation and provide extremely low dropout.
The APL5913 integrates many functions. A Power-On-Reset (POR) circuit monitors both s upply 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 APL5913 is enabled by
other power sys tem. Pulling and holding the EN pin below 0.3V shuts off the output.
The APL5913 is available in SOP-8P package which features small size as SOP-8 and an Exposed Pad to reduce
the junction-to-case resistance, being applicable in
2~2.4W 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).

Note 1 : θJA is measured with the component mounted on a high effective thermal conductivity test board in free air. The exposed pad
of SOP-8P is soldered directly on the PCB.
Note 2 : The “Thermal Pad Temperature” is measured on the PCB copper area connected to the thermal pad of package.
