Automotive-Compliant LDO Voltage Regulators with Power Good Indicator for Enhanced Efficiency and Reliability in Microelectronics
Diodes Incorporated has introduced two new low dropout (LDO) voltage regulators, AP7583AQ and AP7583Q with a maximum output current of 300mA and a dropout voltage of 320mV suitable for battery-connected automotive applications. They have a power-good indicator output which enables supply monitoring and fault reporting capabilities, facilitating power sequencing.
These LDO devices come in fixed output voltage versions (3.3V and 5V) as well as adjustable output versions. With a wide input voltage range of 3V to 42V combined with their low dropout voltage, these LDOs support cold-cranking and handle load dump situations, providing reliability in various automotive scenarios.
The series boasts ultra-low quiescent current, as low as 3µA at light loads. This characteristic optimizes their ability to power components like microcontroller units (MCUs) and CAN transceivers in standby systems, enhancing efficiency and overall performance.
