LINEAR INTEGRATED CIRCUIT
A VOLTAGE REGULATOR FOR
CAR ALTERNATOR

DESCRIPTION
The UTC UL9480 is a specially designed voltage regulator for
car alternator. The regulator voltage is precise with “single function”
self-oscillation. These devices have a maximum output current of
5.5 A. The chip is integrated both the control section and the out
power stage. So the devices require no external components,
reducing the cost of the system and increasing reliability.

FEATURES
* No external components
* Precise regulated voltage
* High output current
* Very low start voltage
* Precise temperature coefficient
* Short circuit protection
* Output current limit
* Reverse battery protection
* +80V Load dump protection
* Low energy spike protection
* Over temperature protection
