Applications
General Description
The APL1581 series of high performance positive volt-
age regulators are designed for use in applications
requiring very low dropout voltage at 5Amp.
The APL1581 can provide a output voltage at the range
of 1.25V to 2.55V , where both 5V and 3.3V voltage
supplies are available.
The superior dropout characteristics result in reduced
heat dissipation compared to regular LDOs. The
APL1581 also provides excellent regulation over line
, load , and temperature variations.
Current limit is trimmed to ensure specified output
current and controlled short-circuit current. On-chip
thermal limiting provides protection against any com-
bination of overload that would create excessive junc-
tion temperature.
The APL1581 is available in both the through-hole
and surface mount versions of the industry standard
5-Pin TO-220 and TO-263, TO-252 power packages.
