Advanced Power Electronics APE8968MP-HF-3
The APE8968 -HF-3 is a 3A ultra-low dropout linear regulator, originally designed to provide supply voltages for front-side-bus termination on motherboards and NB applications. The IC needs two supply voltages, a control voltage for the circuitry and a main supply voltage for power conversion, to reduce power dissipation and provide extremely low dropout. The APE8968-HF-3 integrates many functions.FEATURES
Ultra-low Dropout of 0.23V (typical) at 3A Output Current Low ESR Output Capacitor (compatible with Multi-layer Chip Capacitors (MLCC)) Reference Voltage of 0.8V Fast Transient Response Adjustable Output Voltage using External Resistors Power-On-Reset Monitoring on Both VCNTL and VIN Pins Internal Soft-Start Under-Voltage Protection Current-Limit and Thermal Shutdown Protection Power-OK Output with a Delay Time RoHS-compliant halogen-free ESOP-8 Package with Exposed PadDESCRIPTION
The APE8968-HF-3 integrates many functions. A Power-On-Reset (POR) circuit monitors both supply voltages to prevent incorrect operation. Thermal shutdown and current limit functions protect the device against thermal and current over-loads. A POK indicates the output status with a time delay which is set internally. It can control another converter for power sequencing. The APE8968 can be also be enabled by other power system. Pulling and holding the EN pin below 0.4V shuts off the output. The APE89...
