SI-3025KM
1 A, Low-Dropout, 2.5 V Regulator
Designed to meet the high-current requirements in industrial and
consumer applications; embedded core, memory, or logic supplies; TVs,
VCRs, and office equipment, the SI-3025KM voltage regulator offers
the reduced dropout voltage and low quiescent current essential for
improved efficiency. This device delivers a regulated output at up to
1 A. Integrated thermal and overcurrent protection enhance overall
system reliability. Devices with other output voltages are also available.
Quiescent current does not increase significantly as the dropout
voltage is approached, an ideal feature in standby/resume power systems
where data integrity is crucial. Regulator accuracy and excellent
temperature characteristics are provided by a bandgap reference. An
LS-TTL/CMOS-compatible input gives the designer complete control
over power up, standby, or power down. A pnp pass element provides a
dropout voltage of less than 600 mV at 1 A of load current. Low output
voltages eliminate the need for expensive PWM buck converters. The
low dropout voltage permits more efficient regulation before output
regulation is lost.
This device is supplied in a 5-lead TO-252 style surface-mount
plastic package with ground tab to provide a low-resistance path for
maximum heat dissipation.

APPLICATIONS INFORMATION
Input Capacitor
(C
I
,
≥22
µF). This is necessary either
when the input line includes inductance or when the wiring
is long.
Output Capacitor
(C
O
,
≥22
µF). This device is designed
for use with a very low ESR output capacitor such as a
ceramic capacitor. Output oscillation may occur with an
aluminum capacitor at low temperatures.
ENABLE Input.
The ENABLE (control) input features
an internal pull-down resistor. Leaving this input open
causes the output to turn off.
Parallel Operation.
Parallel operation to increase load
current is not permitted.
Increased Output Voltage.
The output voltage (V
O
)
may be increased by inserting a resistor (R
EXT
) between
SENSE and OUTPUT. The current flowing into SENSE is
typically 90 µA ±30%. To minimize the effect of I
SENSE
and temperature on R
EXT
, it is recommended that a 10 kΩ
resistor be added between SENSE and GND to increase the
current in R
EXT
. The value of R
EXT
is then
