Designed to meet the high-current requirements in industrial and consumer applications; embedded core, memory, or logic supplies; TVs, VCRs, and office equipment, the SI-3025KM voltage regulator offers the reduced dropout voltage and low quiescent current essential for improved efficiency. SI-3025KM delivers a regulated output at up to 1 A. Integrated thermal and overcurrent protection enhance overall system reliability. Devices with other output voltages are also available.

Quiescent current of SI-3025KM does not increase significantly as the dropout voltage is approached, an ideal feature in standby/resume power systems where data integrity is crucial. Regulator accuracy and excellent temperature characteristics of SI-3025KM are provided by a bandgap reference. An LS-TTL/CMOS-compatible input gives the designer complete control over power up, standby, or power down. A pnp pass element provides a dropout voltage of less than 600 mV at 1 A of load current. Low output voltages eliminate the need for expensive PWM buck converters. The low dropout voltage of SI-3025KM permits more efficient regulation before output regulation is lost.

SI-3025KM is supplied in a 5-lead TO-252 style surface-mount plastic package with ground tab to provide a low-resistance path for maximum heat dissipation.
