NCP566
1.5 A Low Dropout
Linear Regulator
The NCP566 low dropout linear regulator will provide 1.5 A at a
fixed output voltage. The fast loop response and low dropout voltage
make this regulator ideal for applications where low voltage and good
load transient response are important. Device protection includes
current limit, short circuit protection, and thermal shutdown.
Features
• Ultra Fast Transient Response (t1.0 ms)
• Low Ground Current (1.5 mA @ Iout = 1.5 A)
• Low Dropout Voltage (0.9 V @ Iout = 1.5 A)
• Low Noise (37 mVrms)
• 1.2 V, 1.8 V, 2.5 V Fixed Output Versions.
Other Fixed Voltages Available on Request
• Current Limit Protection
• Thermal Shutdown Protection
• These are Pb−Free Devices
Typical Applications
• Servers
• ASIC Power Supplies
• Post Regulation for Power Supplies
• Constant Current Source
• DTV
• LCD Monitors
• Networking Equipment
• Battery Powered Systems
• Motherboards
• Peripheral Cards
• Set Top Boxes
• Medical Equipment
• Notebook Computers
