Description
The LD49300 is a high-bandwidth, low-dropout,
3.0 A voltage regulator, ideal for powering core
voltages of low power microprocessors. The
LD49300 implements a dual supply configuration,
which guarantees a very low output impedance
and a fast transient response. The LD49300
requires a bias input supply and a main input
supply, allowing ultra-low input voltages on the
main supply rail. The input supply operates from
1.4 V to 5.5 V and bias supply requires between 3
V and 6 V to work properly. The LD49300 offers
fixed output voltages from 0.8 V to 1.8 V and
adjustable output voltages from 0.8 V. The
LD49300 requires a minimum output capacitance
for stability, and works optimally with small
ceramic capacitors.
