AP2160

Preliminary Datasheet Ultra Low Output Voltage Linear N-FET Controller AP2160 General Description The AP2160 is an ultra low output voltage N-FET linear regulator controller. The output voltage can be adjusted down to 0.5V. A Power-On-Reset (POR) circuit monitors supply voltage to prevent wrong operations. A POK pin indicates the output status. It can control other converters for power sequence. The AP2160 can be enabled by other power systems. The AP2160 integrates a 0.5V reference voltage with 1% accuracy to provide tight regulation to the output voltage. The regulator also features enable control, open drain power good signal, under-voltage protection and soft start. The AP2160 is available in 6-pin SOT-23-6 standard package.
