G954
2A Low Dropout Regulator
Features
General Description
Fixed Output Voltage 1.8V and 2.5V
The G954 is a high performance positive voltage
regulator designed for use in applications requiring
very low dropout voltage at up to 2 Amps. Since it has
superior dropout characteristics compared with regular
LDOs, it can be used to supply 2.5V on motherboards
or 1.8V on peripheral cards from the power supply
thus allowing the elimination of costly heatsinks. The
G954 provides excellent regulation over variations in
line, load and temperature. It provides over current
and over temperature protection functions.
Connect ADJ to GND for Fixed Output Mode
Adjustable Output Using External Resistors
Over Current and Over Temperature Protection
Output Current 2A

The G954 is available with 1.8V, 2.5V when ADJ pin
connected to GND and adjustable outputs using ex-
ternal resistors in SOP-8 (FD) package.
