TC1266
200mA PCI LDO
Features
General Description
• Glitch Free Transition Between Input Sources
• Automatic Input Source Selection
• External PMOS Bypass Switch Control
• Built-in 5V Detector
The TC1266 is an application-specific, low dropout
regulator (LDO), specifically intended for use in PCI
peripheral card applications complying with PCI Power
Management (PCI 2.0). It provides an uninterrupted,
3.3V, 200mA (max) output voltage when the main (5V)
or auxiliary (3.3V) input voltage supplies are present.
• 1% Regulated Output Voltage Accuracy
• 200mA Load Current Capability
• Kelvin Sense Input
The TC1266 consists of an LDO, a voltage threshold
detector, external switchover logic and gate drive
circuitry. It functions as a conventional LDO as long as
• Low Dropout Voltage (240mV @ Full Load)
• Low Ground Current, Independent of Load
the voltage on the main supply input (V ) is above the
IN
lower threshold (3.90V typical). Should the voltage on
V
fall below the lower threshold, the LDO is disabled

main supply is automatically selected, if both the main
and auxiliary input supplies are present, and transition
from one input supply to the other is ensured glitch-
free. High integration, automatic secondary supply
switchover, Kelvin sensing, and small size make the
TC1266 the optimum LDO for PCI 2.0 applications.
