DESCRIPTION
The APE8963 is a 3A ultra low dropout linear regulator.
This product is specifically designed to provide well supply
voltage for front-side-bus termination on motherboards and
NB applications. The IC needs two supply voltages, a
control voltage for the circuitry and a main supply voltage for
power conversion, to reduce power dissipation and provide
extremely low dropout. The APE8963 integrates many
functions. A Power-On-Reset (POR) circuit monitors both
supply voltages to prevent wrong operations. A thermal
shutdown and current limit functions protect the device
against thermal and current over-loads. A POK indicates the
output status with time delay which is set internally. It can
control other converter for power sequence. The APE8963
can be enabled by other power system. Pulling and holding
the EN pin below 0.3V shuts off the output.
The APE8963 is available in ESOP-8 and TDFN 3x3-
10L packages which features small size as an Exposed Pad
to reduce the junction-to-case resistance, being applicable
in 2~3W applications.
