AX6617

3A Ultra Low Dropout Linear Regulator



GENERAL DESCRIPTION

The AX6617 series is a 3A 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 AX6617 series integrates many functions. A

Power-On-Reset (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 AX6617 series can be enabled by

other power system. Pulling and holding the EN pin below 0.6V shuts off the output.

The AX6617 series is available in SOP-8L-EP and TDFN-10L package, being

applicable in 2~3W applications.
