Halogen Free Product TYPICAL APPLICATION DESCRIPTION The APE8902C series is a 2A ultra low dropout linear regulator. This product is specifically designed to provide well supply voltage for front-side-bus termination on motherboards and NB applications. The IC needs two supply voltages, a control voltage for the circuitry and a main supply voltage for power conversion, to reduce power dissipation and provide extremely low dropout. The APE8902C series integrates many functions. A Power-OnReset (POR) circuit monitors both supply voltages to prevent wrong operations. A thermal shutdown and current limit functions protect the device against thermal and current over-loads. A POK indicates the output status with time delay which is set internally. It can control other converter for power sequence. The APE8902C series can be enabled by other power system. Pulling and holding the EN pin below 0.4V shuts off the ou...
