3A Low Dropout Regulator with Enable
Features
General Description
„
The G9966 is a high performance positive voltage
regulator designed for use in applications requiring
very low dropout voltage at up to 3 Amps. Since it has
superior dropout characteristics compared with regular
LDOs, it can be used to supply 2.5V on motherboards
or 1.5V, 1.8V, 3.3V on peripheral cards from the power
supply thus allowing the elimination of costly heatsinks.
An enable pin further reduces power dissipation while
shut down. The G9966 provides excellent regulation
over variations in line, load and temperature. It provides over current and over temperature protection
functions.

Note 1: Absolute Maximum Ratings are limits beyond which damage to the device may occur. Operating Conditions are
conditions under which the device functions but the specifications might not be guaranteed. For guaranteed specifications
and test conditions see the Electrical Characteristics.
Note2: The maximum power dissipation is a function of the maximum junction temperature, TJmax ; total thermal resistance,
θJA, and ambient temperature TA. The maximum allowable power dissipation at any ambient temperature is (Tjmax-TA) /
θJA. If this dissipation is exceeded, the die temperature will rise above 150°C and IC will go into thermal shutdown.
Note3: Low duty pulse techniques are used during test to maintain junction temperature as close to ambient as possible.

Definitions
Load Regulation
The change in output voltage for a change in load
current at constant chip temperature. The measurement is made under conditions of low dissipation or by
using pulse techniques such that average chip temperature is not significantly affected.
Dropout Voltage
The input/output voltage differential at which the regulator output no longer maintains regulation against further
reductions in input voltage. Measured when the output
drops 2% below its nominal value, dropout voltage is
affected by junction temperature, load current and minimum input supply requirements.
Maximum Power Dissipation
The maximum total device dissipation for which the
regulator will operate within specifications.
Line Regulation
The change in output voltage for a change in input voltage. The measurement is made under conditions of low
dissipation or by using pulse techniques such that average chip temperature is not significantly affected.
Quiescent Bias Current
Current which is used to operate the regulator chip
and is not delivered to the load.
