® L4957 UP TO 4A ULDO LINEAR REGULATOR 1.5V AND 2.5V FIXED OUTPUT VOLTAGE 3V TO 6.5V INPUT VOLTAGE RANGE 200mΩ Rdson TYPICAL @ Tj = 125 °C 0.6V max. DROP-OUT AT 2A EXCELLENT LOAD REGULATION 0.6mA QUIESCENT CURRENT AT ANY LOAD SHORT CIRCUIT PROTECTION WITH FOLDBACK THERMAL SHUTDOWN APPLICATIONS MOTHER BOARDS PROCESSOR I/O & SUPPLIES LOW VOLTAGE MEMORY & CHIP SET SUPPLIES GRAPHIC & SOUND CARDS LOW VOLTAGE LOGIC SUPPLIES POST REGULATOR FOR SMPS DESCRIPTION The L4957 devices are Ultra Low Drop Output linear regulators with an internal N-channel MOS of 200mΩ particulary suitable for low voltage/low dropout applications. Operating with a input voltage from 3V to 6.5V they are capable to deliver up to 4A at 1.5V or 2.5V fixed output voltages. MULTIPOWER BCD TECHNOLOGY 3 1 Versawatt TO-220 D2PAK ORDERING NUMBERS: L4957V1.5 L4957V2.5 L4957D1.5 L4957D2.5 The devices are ideal for use as one of the supplies required by processor, for example they are the cost effective and efficient solution for conversion from 3.3V (rail bus) to 2.5V @ 2.5A or to 1.5V with high current rating. Fast response transient minimise the output capacitor value. A minimum of 22µF assures the stability in all load conditions. The on-chip trimming technique offers a tighter voltage reference tolerance (with ± 2% including line and load variation) beside to ensure a controlled short circuit current. Thermal shutdown provides protection against overload conditions that creates excessive junction temperature.
