General Description
The MIC5191 is an ultra high-speed linear regulator. It uses an external N-Channel FET as its power device.
The MIC5191s ultra high-speed abilities can handle the fast load demands of microprocessor cores, ASICs, and other high-speed devices. Signal bandwidths of greater than 500kHz can be achieved with a minimum amount of capacitance while at the same time keeping the output voltage clean, regardless of load demand. A powerful output driver delivers large MOSFETs into their linear regions, achieving ultra-low dropout voltage.
