www.fairchildsemi.com FAN1112 1A 1.2V Low Dropout Linear Regulator Features Description Low dropout voltage The FAN1112 is a 1.2V low dropout three-terminal Load regulation: 0.05% typical regulator with 1A output current capability. The device has Trimmed current limit been optimized for low voltage where transient response and On-chip thermal limiting minimum input voltage are critical. Standard SOT-223 and TO-252 packages Three-terminal xed 1.2V Current limit is trimmed to ensure specied output current and controlled short-circuit current. On-chip thermal limiting provides protection against any combination of overload and Applications ambient temperatures that would create excessive junction Post regulator for switching supplies temperatures. Supply for low-voltage processors Unlike PNP type regulators where up to 10% of the output current is wasted as quiescent current, the quiescent current of the FAN1112 ows into the load, increasing efciency. The FAN1112 regulator is available in the industry-standard SOT-223 and TO-252 (DPAK) power packages.
