500 mA Linear Regulator

These linear regulators provide up to 500 mA over a user−adjustable

output range of 1.25 V to 5.0 V, or at a fixed output voltage of 1.5 V or

5.0 V*, with typical output voltage accuracy better than 3%. NCV

versions are qualified for demanding automotive applications that

require site and change control. NCP5500 and NCV5500 versions

include an Enable/Shutdown function and are available in a DPAK−5L

power package. In shutdown, current consumption is reduced to

30

mA. An internal PNP pass transistor permits low dropout voltage

and operation at full load current at the minimum input voltage.

NCP5501 and NCV5501 versions are available in DPAK−3L for

applications that do not require logical on/off control.

This regulator family is ideal for applications that require a broad

input voltage range, including both automotive and portable battery

powered devices. Integral protection features include short circuit

current and thermal shutdown.
