Description
The LD49150xx is a high-bandwidth, low-dropout,
1.5 A voltage regulator, ideal for powering core
voltages of low-power microprocessors. The
LD49150xx implements a dual supply
configuration allowing for very low output
impedance and very fast transient response. The
LD49150xx requires a bias input supply and a
main input supply, allowing for ultra-low input
voltages on the main supply rail. The input supply
operates from 1.4 V to 5.5 V and the bias supply
requires between 3 V and 6 V for proper
operation. The LD49150xx offers fixed output
voltages from 0.8 V to 1.8 V and adjustable output
voltages down to 0.8 V. The LD49150xx requires a
minimum output capacitance for stability, and
work optimally with small ceramic capacitors.
