SC1566 Very Low Dropout 3.0 Amp Regulator With Enable POWER MANAGEMENT Description Features The SC1566 is a high performance positive voltage 350mV dropout 3A regulator designed for use in applications requiring very Adjustable output from 1.2V to 4.8V low dropout voltage at up to 3 Amps. Since it has 2.5V and 1.8V options (5 pin parts also adjustable superior dropout characteristics compared to regular externally using resistors) LDOs, it can be used to supply 2.5V on motherboards or Over current and over temperature protection 2.8V on peripheral cards from the 3.3V supply thus Enable pin allowing heat sink size reduction or elimination. 10A quiescent current in shutdown Additionally, the five pin versions of SC1566 have an Low reverse leakage (output to input) enable pin, to further reduce power dissipation while shut Full industrial temperature range down. The SC1566 provides excellent regulation over TO-220 and TO-263 packages variations in line, load and temperature. Applications The SC1566 is available as three terminal fixed output voltage and five terminal fixed or adjustable output Battery powered systems voltage devices with enable. Two package options are Motherboards and notebook computers available: TO-263 and TO-220.
