RT9172 3A Fixed Output Voltage LDO Regulator General Description Features Low Dropout Voltage The RT9172 series of low dropout linear regulators operate Low Ground Pin Current from a 2.25V to 6V input supply. A wide range of preset Load Regulation of 0.4% at 3A output voltage options is available. These low dropout 0.5mA Quiescent Current in Shutdown Mode linear regulators respond very fast to step changes in load, Guaranteed Output Current of 3A DC which are suitable for low voltage microprocessor Available in TO-263 and TO-220 Packages applications. The RT9172 uses an internal P-MOSFET as Output Voltage Accuracy 1.5% the pass device, which does not cause extra GND current Error Flag Indicates Output Status in heavy load and dropout condition. The shutdown mode Sense Option Improves Better Load Regulation of low operation current makes the IC suitable for power- Extremely Low Output Capacitor Requirements saving systems. The other features include current limiting Over Temperature/Over- Current Protection and over temperature protection.
