Datasheet

1 General Description

The AS1376 is a Dual Supply Rail Linear Regulator designed to

deliver 1A of load current while consuming only 67µA (typ) of ground

supplied by the output voltage of a host DC-DC Converter (range

0.7V...4.5V).

The device offers excellent dropout (120mV @ 1A) and transient

performance.

In shutdown (Enable pin pulled low), the device turns off and reduces

terminals.

In shutdown, a 100

 (typ) discharge path is connected between

output and ground to provide rapid discharge of the overall load

capacitance connected to the AS1376 output terminal. Auto-

inherent body diode of the N-channel series pass transistor.

The AS1376 also features internal protection against over-

temperature, over-current and under-voltage conditions.

The device is available in an 8-pin 2x2 TDFN package and is

qualified for operation over the -40ºC to +85ºC temperature range.

The device is available in fixed output voltages from 0.5V up to 2.2V

in 100mV steps (50mV from 0.5V to 1.1V). See Ordering Information

on page 18.
