G9966
3A Low Dropout Regulator with Enable
Features
General Description
1.5V, 1.8V, 2.5V, 3.3V and Adjustable Outputs
The G9966 is a high performance positive voltage
regulator designed for use in applications requiring
very low dropout voltage at up to 3 Amps. Since it has
superior dropout characteristics compared with regular
LDOs, it can be used to supply 2.5V on motherboards
or 1.5V, 1.8V, 3.3V on peripheral cards from the power
supply thus allowing the elimination of costly heatsinks.
An enable pin further reduces power dissipation while
shut down. The G9966 provides excellent regulation
over variations in line, load and temperature. It pro-
vides over current and over temperature protection
functions.
