Fairchild Semiconductor FAN1950
The FAN1950 and FAN1951 are 1.5A low-dropout linear regulators that provide a low voltage, high current output with a minimum of external components. Both of these devices use a PNP output pass element achieving a maximum 500mV dropout at 1.5A load current. The FAN1951 offers a logic level enable pin and an error flag output to indicate undervoltage and over-current conditions.FEATURES
● 1.5A minimum guaranteed output current● 500mV maximum dropout at 1.5A Ideal for 2.5V to 1.8V or 1.65V conversion Ideal for 3.0V to 2.5V conversion
● Current Limiting and Thermal shutdown
● External Shut-down control (FAN1951 only)
● Error flag output (FAN1951 only)
● Fast transient response
● Low ground current
GENERAL DESCRIPTION
In addition these devices offer overcurrent limit and thermal shutdown features to ensure full protection. 1.8V and 2.5V fixed output versions are available. 3.3V, 1.65V and 1.5V options are available upon request.APPLICATIONS
