3A SOURCE/SINK TERMINATION REGULATOR
DESCRIPTION
NX1730 is a 3A source and sink Low Dropout Regulator
designed for DDRI and DDRII termination application.
Current limit circuitry in both sink and source side plus
internal thermal shutdown protects the device under short
circuit condition . NX1730 can be disabled by pulling
down the Reference Pin below 0.2V using external small
signal transistor or a MOSFET.
The NX1730 can also be used as an adjustable output
voltage regulator using an external reference.
NX1730 is available in TO-252 package for low cost yet
excellent thermal capability.
