NCP630
3.0 A Fast Linear Voltage
Regulators
The NCP630 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
fast turn on time allows step changes in loads commonly found in low
voltage microprocessor applications. The NCP630 is currently offered
as an adjustable output version that can be programmed down to 1.2 V
with two external resistors and as a fixed output version at 3.47 V. On
chip trimming adjusts the reference/output voltage to within
"1.5%
accuracy. Internal protection features consist of output current limiting
and thermal shutdown. NCP630 is available in D
2
PAK package.

Maximum ratings are those values beyond which device damage can occur. Maximum ratings applied to the device are individual stress limit
values (not normal operating conditions) and are not valid simultaneously. If these limits are exceeded, device functional operation is not implied,
damage may occur and reliability may be affected.

Description
This input is used to place the NCP630 into shutdown mode. The NCP630
is active when a voltage greater than 2.0 V is applied. The NCP630 will be
placed into a shutdown mode when a voltage less than 0.8 V is applied. If
left unused then connect the pin high.

tains 1.216 V between itself and ground. Refer to Figure 1 for equation.
This pin is to be connected near the load for better regulation.

3. Low duty cycle pulse techniques are used during testing to maintain the junction temperature as close to ambient as possible.
4. Line regulation is defined as the change in output voltage for a change in input voltage. Load regulation is defined as the change in output
voltage for a change in output load current at a constant temperature. The limits for line and load regulation are contained within the refer-
ence voltage specification, V
adj
. Typical numbers are included in the specification for line and load regulation.
5. The short circuit limit is for device protection. Maximum output current is guaranteed to be greater or equal to 3.0 A with a 6.0 A typical
as listed in the peak output limit specification.
