Description
The LD49150 is a high-bandwidth, low-dropout,
1.5 A voltage regulator, ideal for powering core
voltages of low power microprocessors. The
LD49150 implements a dual supply configuration,
which guarantees a very low output impedance
and a very fast transient response. The LD49150
requires a bias input supply and a main input
supply, allowing ultra-low input voltages on the
main supply rail. The input supply operates from
1.4 V to 5.5 V and the bias supply requires
between 3 V and 6 V to work properly. The
LD49150 offers fixed output voltages from 0.8 V to
1.8 V and adjustable output voltages starting from
0.8 V. The LD49150 requires a minimum output
capacitance for stability, and works optimally with
small ceramic capacitors.
