DESCRIPTIONDESCRIPTION
The US1176 product is a 7.5A regulator with extremely
low dropout voltage using a proprietary Bipolar process that achieves comparable equivalent on resistance to that of discrete MOSFETs. The US1176
also provides a convenient Shutdown pin that allows the
regulator to be shutdown and reduce the input current
consumption. Unlike the PNP type regulators this device does not have high quiecent current during the start
up mode making it ideal for applications where there is
limited current capability such operation from the 5V
Standby supply of the computer power supply.One application is the new generation of the RDRAM memory
that needs to provide 2.5V from 3.3V input and be able
to operate from 5VSB as well.
