DESCRIPTION
The L4957A devices are Ultra Low Drop Output linear regulators with an internal N-channel MOS of 200mΩ particulary suitable for low voltage/low dropout applications.
Operating with a input voltage from 3V to 14V they are capable to deliver up to 5A.
The devices are ideal for use as one of the sup-

plies required by processor, for example they are the cost effective and efficient solution for conversion from 3.3V (rail bus) to 2.5V @ 2.5A or to 1.5V with high current rating.
Fast response transient minimise the output capacitor value. A minimum of 22μF assures the stability in all load conditions.
The on-chip trimming technique offers a tighter voltage reference tolerance (with ± 2% including line and load variation) beside to ensure a controlled short circuit current. Thermal shutdown provides protection against overload conditions that creates excessive junction temperature.
