GM66300 Series
3.0A ULTRA LOW DROPOUT VOLTAGE
REGULATORS
Description
The GM66300, GM66301 and GM66302 are
3.0A, low dropout linear voltage regulators that
provide a low voltage, high-current output with a
minimum of external components. Utilizing
proprietary Super beta PNP pass element, the
GM66300/1/2 offers extremely low dropout
(typically 400mV at 3.0A) and low ground current
(typically 36mA at 3.0A).
The GM66300/1/2 is ideal for PC add-in cards
that need to convert from standard 3.3V to 2.5V
or 2.5V to 1.8V. A guaranteed maximum dropout
voltage of 500mV over all operating conditions
allows the GM66300/1/2 to provide 2.5V from a
supply as low as 3V, and 1.8V from a supply as
low as 2.5V. The GM66300/1/2 also has fast
transient response for heavy switching
applications. The device requires only 47µF of
output capacitance to maintain stability and
achieve fast transient response.
The GM66300/1/2 is fully protected with over
current limiting, thermal shutdown,
reversed-battery protection, reversed-leakage
protection, and reversed-lead insertion. The
GM66301 offers a TTL-logic compatible enable
pin and an error flag that indicates under voltage
and over current conditions. Offered in fixed
voltages, the GM66300/1 comes in the TO-220
and TO-263 packages and is an ideal upgrade to
older, NPN-based linear voltage regulators.
The GM66302 is adjustable version, with On/Off
feature.
