NCP631_06 Datasheet, PDF (1/9 Pages) ON Semiconductor – 3.0 A Linear Voltage Regulator with Soft−Start

NCP631
3.0 A Linear Voltage
Regulator with Soft−Start
The NCP631 is a low dropout positive voltage regulator that is
capable of providing a guaranteed output current of 3.0 A with a
maximum dropout voltage of 1.25 V at 3.0 A over temperature. The
NCP631 is currently offered as a fixed voltage version at 3.47 V. On
chip trimming adjusts the reference/output voltage to within "1.5%
accuracy. The Soft−Start function allows control of start up times. This
prevents current spikes at start up due to output capacitor in−rush
current. Internal protection features consist of output foldback current
limiting, and thermal shutdown. The NCP631 is available in D²PAK
package.
