3A, ULTRA LOW DROPOUT (0.17V @ 3A) LINEAR REGULATOR
DESCRIPTION
The UTC LXXLD36 is a typical LDO with the features of very low
dropout voltage as low as 0.17V at output current 3A.
For normal operation, two supply voltages are necessary. One
called control voltage from other equipment can shutdown the
output voltage and it should pull and hold the voltage of EN pin less
than 0.5V. Another one is the main supply voltage whose purpose is
for main power conversion, to keep the power dissipation low, and
to make the dropout voltage lower.
Internally, in the UTC LXXLD36, there’re many functions which
can be seen in the block figure to prevent the IC from being
damaged. Internal Power-On-Reset (POR) circuit can control the
two supply voltages to prevent fault operations of the circuit; the
thermal shutdown circuit is able to protect the device from over
thermal operation, and a current limit function will keep the device
work safely under current over-loads.
The UTC LXXLD36 can be used as an ideal to provide well
supply voltage in the applications, such as front-side-bus
termination on motherboard, NB applications, front side bus VTT
(1.2V/3A) and note book PC applications.
