G977
Global Mixed-mode Technology
7A Low Dropout Regulator with Enable
Features
General Description
Adjustable Output Low to 0.8V
The G977 is a high performance positive voltage
Input Voltage as Low as 1V and VPP Voltage 5V
140mV Dropout @ 7A, VO 1.05V
Over Current and Over Temperature Protection
Enable Pin
Low Reverse Leakage (Output to Input )
Power SOP-8 (FD) Packages with Thermal Pad
±1.5% Output Voltage
regulator designed for use in applications requiring
very low Input voltage and very low dropout voltage at
up to 7 amps. It operates with VPP voltage 5V and
output voltage programmable as low as 0.8V. The
G977 features ultra low dropout, ideal for applications
where VOUT is very close to VIN. Additionally, the G977
has an enable pin to further reduce power dissipation
while shutdown. The G977 provides excellent regula-
tion over variations in line, load and temperature. The
G977 provides a power OK signal to indicate if the
voltage level of VO reaches 92% of its rating value.

VO Pull Low Resistance when Disable
VO Soft Start when Enable
Applications
The G977 is available in the power SOP-8 (FD) pack-
age. It is adjustable using external resistors.
