Diodes Incorporated (Nasdaq:DIOD), a leading global manufacturer and
supplier of high-quality application specific standard products within
the broad discrete and analog semiconductor markets, has introduced a
range of Low Drop Out (LDO) linear regulators that drive low ESR
(equivalent series resistance) 1µF Multilayer Ceramic Chip Capacitors
(MLCCs) to reduce system-level manufacturing cost and improve control
loop stability and transient response.
Applications to benefit from these versatile LDOs include XDSL routers,
wireless LAN cards, desktop and notebook computers, mouse and keyboard
products, and battery powered equipment.
The AP731x and AP733x are 150mA and 300mA CMOS LDOs, respectively, with
a wide input voltage range from 2 to 6V that addresses both fixed and
adjustable output voltage requirements. Fixed output voltage LDOs cover
the range between 1.0 and 3.3V, while adjustable devices support the
output voltage range from 0.8V to 5V.
With an output accuracy specified at 2%, the LDOs maintain consistent
regulation for variations in specified temperature, line voltage and
load conditions. The devices are rated for full industrial temperature
range operation from -- 40ºC to 85ºC. The LDOs' built-in over-current,
over-temperature and short-circuit protection further improves circuit
robustness and reliability. Particularly for portable and low power
applications, the devices' quiescent current rating of 55µA provides
attractive power saving opportunities.
Offered with industry standard pin-outs, the LDOs are being made
available by Diodes in a range of green package options, including
SOT23, SOT25 and the PCB space and height saving DFN2020-6.
