High current, high accuracy LDO from Diodes Incorporated
Summary
Delivering a clean supply, the AP7179D is highly optimised for powering noise-sensitive components - such as the high-performance SerDes, RF components, and data converters needed for high-speed communications, test, and measurement, medical, and video applications. Its low-noise reference and error amplifier enables a minimal noise floor. There are two output voltage selection modes for this LDO: pin-programmable between 0.8V and 3.95V, or adjustable using an external resistor divider from 0.8V to 5.5V. The resulting flexibility significantly reduces the number of accompanying components needed. Because of this, alongside its high-current capabilities, this device is compatible with high-performance processors, such as FPGAs, ASICs, and DSPs.
