SI-3018LSA
LOW-VOLTAGE, HIGH-CURRENT
1.8 V LINEAR REGULATOR
The SI-3018LSA is designed to meet the requirement for increased
integration and reliability in low-voltage, high-current, linear regulator
applications such as personal computers (PCs) and set-top boxes. Each
device incorporates a monolithic low-level reference and control circuit
with a high-current pnp transistor in a power multi-chip module
(PMCM™). Regulated output voltages of 2.5 V or 3.3 V are also
available.

The high-current pass element provides a low dropout voltage with
output current to 1 A. Regulator accuracy of ±2 % and excellent
temperature characteristics are provided. The logic-compatible
ENABLE input gives the designer complete control over power up,
power down, and standby or sleep.

* Output current rating may be limited by duty
cycle, ambient temperature, and heat sinking.
Under any set of conditions, do not exceed the
specified current rating or a junction temperature
of 150˚C.
† Fault conditions that produce excessive
junction temperature will activate the device’s
thermal protection circuitry. These conditions
can be tolerated but should be avoided.
Always order by complete part number: SI-3018LSA-TL ,
where “-TL” indicates tape and reel.
