Description
The AP7173 is a 1.5A low-dropout (LDO) linear regulator that
features a user-programmable soft-start, an enable input and
a power-good output.
The soft-start reduces inrush current of the load capacitors
and minimizes stress on the input power source during start-
up. The enable input and power-good output allow users to
configure power management solutions that can meet the
sequencing requirements of FPGAs, DSPs, and other
applications with different start-up and power-down
requirements.
The AP7173 is stable with any type of output capacitor of
2.2µF or more. A precision reference and feedback control
deliver 2%
accuracy over load, line, and operating
temperature ranges. The AP7173 is available in both
DFN3030-10 and SO-8EP packages.
