OUTLINE

The RP108J is a CMOS-based voltage regulator IC featuring 3A output with low ON-resistance.

The RP108J consists of a voltage reference unit, an error amplifier, resistor-net for voltage setting, a fold-back

protection circuit, and a thermal shutdown circuit. The RP108J features both low supply current and high output

current, and the dropout voltage is much smaller than bi-polar's. The minimum input voltage is as low as 1.6V

and the output voltage can be set from 0.8V, therefore it can be connected with the DC/DC converter as the latter

power supply for high density LSI that is operated by low output voltage.

The output voltage of RP108J081x is externally adjustable by using external divide resistors. The CE pin of the

RP108J can switch the regulator to standby mode. In addition to a fold-back protection circuit, which is already

built in the conventional regulators, The RP108J contains a thermal shutdown circuit, a constant slope circuit as

a soft-start function and a reverse current protection circuit. Ceramic capacitors can be used.
