Features:
The OM8506 is an ultra low dropout adjustable linear regu-
lator designed specifically for hi-rel applications. Housed
in either a 5 pin through hole or 8 lead surface mount
package, these regulators provide high reliability in mili-
tary/defense applications. The ultra low dropout voltage of
0.4V @ 3A makes the part particularly useful for applica-
tions requiring low noise and higher efficiency.

In order to maintain regulation and stability speci-
fied additional input and output bulk capacitors are
recommended. Capacitors recommended above
should be low ESR tantalums with tolerances of +/-
20% max. Internal to the product are a 4.7uF input
capacitor and a 4.7uF output capacitor in parallel
with a 0.33uF ceramic capacitor.
Shutdown:
The regulator can be shutdown by apply-
ing a voltage >1.6V to pin 4. The regulator will restart
when the SHDN pin is pulled below the shutdown
threshold of 1.0V. If remote shutdown is not required,
pin 4 shold be connected to GND to insure a safe
“off” state.
