Datasheets PDF

General Description

The uP8801S is a 3A ultra low dropout linear regulator specifically designed for motherboard, notebook and graphic card applications. This device works with dual supplies, a control input for the control circuitry and a power input as low as 1.2V for providing current to output. The uP8801S delivers high-current and ultra-low-drop output voltage as low as 0.8V for applications where VOUT is very close to VIN.

The uP8801S features comprehensive control and protection functions: a power on reset (POR) circuit for monitoring both control and power inputs for proper operation; an EN input for enabling or disabling the device, a power OK with time delay for indicating the output voltage status, a foldback current limit function, and a thermal shutdown function.

The uP8801S is available in PSOP – 8L or WDFN3x3 – 10L packages with very low thermal resistance.
