G9941
4X Linear Fan Driver for 12V DC Fan
Features
General Description
VO Follows 4.0 Times of VSET
The G9941 is a high performance positive voltage
0.5V Dropout @ 0.5A
Over Current and Over Temperature Protection
Enable Pin
100µA Quiescent Current in Shutdown
Power TO-252-5, SOP-8 with power pad
Package
regulator designed for use in applications requiring
very low dropout voltage at up to 0.5 Amps. The
G9941 VO output voltage follows the 4.0 times of
VSET voltage until it reaches VIN voltage. The VSET
voltage must be larger than 1V to guarantee VO 4.0
times of VSET. An enable pin further reduces power
dissipation while shut down. The G9941 provides ex-
cellent regulation over variations in line, load and
temperature.
