Designed to meet the high-current requirements in industrial and
consumer applications; embedded core, memory, or logic supplies; TVs,
VCRs, and office equipment, the SI-3011ZD voltage regulator offers the
reduced dropout voltage and low quiescent current essential for im-
proved efficiency. This device delivers a regulated output at up to 3 A.
Integrated thermal and overcurrent protection enhance overall system
reliability. Devices with fixed output voltages of 2.5 or 3.3 V are also
available.
Quiescent current does not increase significantly as the dropout
voltage is approached, an ideal feature in standby/resume power systems
where data integrity is crucial. Regulator accuracy and excellent
temperature characteristics are provided by a bandgap reference. An
LS-TTL/CMOS-compatible input gives the designer complete control
over power up, standby, or power down. A pnp pass element provides a
dropout voltage of less than 600 mV at 3 A of load current. Low output
voltages eliminate the need for expensive PWM buck converters. The
low dropout voltage permits more efficient regulation before output
regulation is lost.
This device is supplied in a 5-lead surface-mount plastic package
(TO-263) with ground tab to provide a low-resistance path for maximum
heat dissipation. A similar device in a flange-mounted (TO-220-style)
high-power package is the SI-3011ZF.
