IMP1117A LDO with 1000mA Output

The IMP1117A and IMP1117A-1.8, -2.5, -2.85, -3.3 and –5 are low dropout three-terminal regulators with 1A output current capability. These devices have been optimized for low voltage where transient response and minimum input voltage are critical. The 2.85V version is designed specifically to be used in Active Terminators for SCSI bus.

On-chip thermal limiting provides protection against any combination of overload and ambient temperatures that would create excessive junction temperatures. Unlike PNP type regulators where up to 10% of the output current is wasted as quiescent current, the quiescent current of the IMP1117A flows into the load, increasing efficiency.

The IMP1117A series regulators are available in the industry-standard SOT-223, TO-220, and TO-252 (DPAK) power packages.

IMP37 LDO with 800mA Output

The IMP37 Low Dropout (LDO) three-terminal voltage regulators feature guaranteed low dropout voltages at currents up to 0.8A. The IMP37 dropout voltage is guaranteed to be 0.95V or lower at 0.8A. At 100mA, the maximum dropout voltage is 0.8V. Compared with "1117" type LDOs, the IMP37 has a 20% lower dropout voltage.

Three fixed output voltages are offered: 2.5V, 3.0V and 3.3V. Output voltages are factory trimmed to within 1% of the nominal value.

In addition to low dropout voltages, the IMP37 family features greatly reduced quiescent operating current. The 75 microampere maximum specification represents an over 100 times improvement over competitive devices.

Devices are short circuit protected, and a thermal protection circuit shuts the regulator off should the junction temperature exceed 165°C.

The IMP37 is available in low-profile plastic SOT-223 and TO-263 packages. The IMP37 is pin compatible with fixed "1117" devices with input voltage levels up to 5.5V

IMP2xxx LDOs

• IMP2014, IMP2015, IMP2185 LDOs with Reference Bypass Pin
• IMP2054, IMP2055, IMP2186 LDOs with Error Flag Output
• IMP2070, IMP2071, IMP2187 LDOs Adjustable Output

All IMP2xxx LDOs have a shutdown mode that cuts current to less than 2 microamperes. Quiescent current under no load is 33 microamperes typically (50 microamperes maximum).

In addition, all devices are designed with thermal and short circuit protection for ruggedness.

There are three families. Each family has 60mA, 110mA and 160mA devices. Each family has different functional capability but the same electrical specifications in terms of dropout voltage performance and quiescent current. All IMP2xxx LDOs have shutdown capability for system power savings.

Two families offer fixed output voltages of 2.5V, 2.7V, 2.85V, 3.0V, 3.3V, 3.6V, and 4.0V.

• IMP2014, IMP2015, and IMP2185 (60mA/110mA/160mA): Fixed Outputs. Includes reference bypass pin for lower noise and the
  best power supply rejection.
  
  
  
• IMP2054, IMP2055, and IMP2186 (60mA/110mA/160mA): Fixed Outputs. Includes Error flag output. One family has adjustable outputs.
