DESCRIPTION
The IRU1010-18 is a low dropout three-terminal fixed out-
put regulator with minimum of 1A output current capabil-
ity. This product is specifically designed to provide well
regulated supply for low voltage IC applications as well
as generating clock supply for PC applications. The
IRU1010-18 is guaranteed to have <1.3V dropout at full
load current making it ideal to provide well regulated with
3.8V input supply. The IRU1010-18 is specifically de-
signed to be stable with low cost aluminum capacitors
while maintaining stability with low ESR tantalum caps.

Note 1:
Low duty cycle pulse testing with Kelvin connections is required in order to maintain accurate data.
Note 2:
Dropout voltage is defined as the minimum differential voltage between V
IN
and V
OUT
required to maintain
regulation at V
OUT
. It is measured when the output voltage drops 1% below its nominal value.

PIN DESCRIPTION
Ground pin. This pin must be connected to ground plane using a low inductance short
connection.
The output of the regulator. This pin is also connected to the tab of the package. An output
capacitor must be connected to this pin to insure stability of the regulator.
Input pin of the regulator. Typically a large storage capacitor is connected from this pin to
ground to insure that the input voltage does not sag below the minimum dropout voltage
during the load transient response. This pin must always be 1.3V higher than V
OUT
in
order for the device to regulate properly.
