Regulators provide 'industry's fastest' transient response

1 min read

Intersil has announced 2A and 3A linear regulators, which it claims provides the industry's fastest transient response, lowest dropout and highest total DC accuracy.

The ISL80102 and ISL80103 are low voltage, high current, low dropout linear regulators specified at 2A and 3A output current respectively. The parts utilise state of the art BiCMOS technology, designed to achieve a fast transient response with what Intersil describes as 'new levels of performance'. The devices operate from input voltages of 2.2 to 6V and are capable of providing supply output voltages of 0.8 to 5V on the adjustable versions. Fixed output voltages 0.8, 1.2, 1.5, 1.8, 2.5, 3.3 and 5V are also available. Initial VOut accuracy is +/- 0.5% and the devices are said to provide +/-1.8% VOut accuracy for the junction temperature range of -40 to 125°C. The two LDOs include an enable feature designed to allow them to be placed in a low quiescent current shutdown mode. The ISL80102 and ISL80103 are available in 3 x 3 10 lead DFN packages.
