Product Description
The CM3003 is a family of very low dropout regulators
that offers dual mode operation. When the Adjust con-
trol pin (ADJ) is grounded, these devices automatically
enter a fixed voltage mode and deliver either a 1.8V or
2.5V output capable of supplying 1.5A, depending on
the device utilized. When the Adjust pin is connected to
an external resistor network the device automatically
operates as an adjustable regulator. The Adjust pin can
also be tied directly to the OUT pin which configures
the CM3003 as a 1.2V regulator.
An Enable control pin (EN) allows the device to be
placed in a low current mode.
Applications
•

•
•
Low Voltage "Core" processors
Graphics Cards
Gigabit NIC Cards
PC Motherboards
Notebooks
The CM3003 devices are fully protected, offering both
overload current limiting, short circuit protection and
high temperature thermal shutdown. These devices
also includes reverse voltage protection that minimizes
any reverse current flow back into the output pin.
The CM3003 devices are housed in a space saving, 8-
pin power SOIC packages which has been thermally
enhanced (integral leadframe) to ensure maximum
junction to ambient power dissipation.
The CM3003 devices are available with optional lead-
free finishing.

DESCRIPTION
Enable/shutdown input. When EN is asserted high (V
EN
≥
1.2V), the regulator is enabled. When EN
is asserted low (V
EN
≤
0.4V), the regulator is shut down.
Positive input voltage for the regulator. If this input pin is greater than 2 inches from the main input
filter, a 10µF ceramic capacitor is recommended for adequate filtering.
The regulated voltage output. An output capacitor of 10µF is recommended to minimize any tran-
sient load disturbances under normal operating conditions. Additional output capacitance can be
used to further improve transient load response.
Feedback input. When ADJ is grounded, the device enters fixed voltage mode. When ADJ is con-
nected to an external resistor network, the device operates as an adjustable regulator. The Adjust
pin can also be tied directly to the OUT pin which configures the CM3003 as a 1.2V regulator.
The negative reference for all voltages. Also functions as a thermal path for heat dissipation.

Note 1: The SOIC package used is thermally enhanced through the use of a fused integral leadframe. The power rating is based on
a printed circuit board heat spreading capability equivalent to 2 square inches of copper connected to the GND pins. Typical
multi-layer boards using power plane construction will provide this heat spreading ability without the need for additional ded-
icated copper area. (Please consult with factory for thermal evaluation assistance)
