FAN1539/FAN1540
1A/1.3A, LDO with Low Quiescent Current
Features
Description
■ Very Low Ground Current (I
■ Excellent Line Regulation
■ Excellent Load Regulation
= 1mA)
The FAN1539/FAN1540 series of high current LDOs
(1.0A and 1.3A) has been developed for portable appli-
cations where low quiescent current is an important
requirement. The device features excellent line and load
transient response which does not exceed 10% of nomi-
nal output value for full operating temperature range
even during power ON cycle and short circuit removal.
Internally trimmed, temperature compensated bandgap
reference guarantees 2.5% accuracy for full range of
input voltage, output current and temperature. Included
on the chip are accurate current limit and thermal shut-
down protection. Device stability is achieved with only
two external low ESR ceramic capacitors.
GND
■ Very Low Transient Overshoot
■ Stable with low ESR Output Capacitor (ESR = 0mΩ)
■ Thermal Shutdown
■ Current Limit
■ Output Options: 3.3V and 1.8V
Applications
■ Disk Drive Circuits
The FAN1539/FAN1540 is available in thermally
enhanced 3x3mm 6-lead MLP, 5x6mm 8-lead MLP and
3-lead TO-252 packages. The 5x6mm MLP package ver-
sion features a separate Kelvin sense pin for high preci-
sion applications.
