5V, 2.7A Regulator with 2.7A current limit
GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The AS1185 is a 2.7A low dropout regulator with adjustable
current limit and remote sense capability. It can be used as a
positive output regulator with floating input or as a standard
negative regulator with grounded input. The output voltage
range is 2.5V to 25V, with 鹵1% accuracy on the internal
reference voltage.
The AS1185 uses a saturation-limited NPN transistor as the
pass element. This device gives the linear dropout
characteristics of a FET pass element with significantly less die
area. High efficiency is maintained by using special
anti-saturation circuitry that adjusts base drive to track load
current. The 鈥渙n resistance鈥?is typically 0.25鈩?
Accurate current limit is programmed with a single 1/8W
external resistor, with a range of zero to three amperes. A
second, fixed internal limit circuit prevents destructive currents
if the programming current is accidentally overranged.
Assembly considerations for this package requires that
the fixed internal current limit circuit be bypassed at all times.
An external current limit resistor set to a maximum of 2.7A
must be used. Failure to do so on this package can result in
damage to the device.
Shutdown of the regulator output is guaranteed when the
program current is less than 1碌A, allowing external logic
control of output voltage.
