G9941 Global Mixed-mode Technology Inc. 4X Linear Fan Driver for 12V DC Fan Features General Description The G9941 is a high performance positive voltage regulator designed for use in applications requiring very low dropout voltage at up to 0.5 Amps. The G9941 VO output voltage follows the 4.0 times of VSET voltage until it reaches VIN voltage. The VSET voltage must be larger than 1V to guarantee VO 4.0 times of VSET. An enable pin further reduces power dissipation while shut down. The G9941 provides excellent regulation over variations in line, load and temperature.
