AP7176BMP-13

The AP7176BMP-13 from Diodes Incorporated is a 3.0A ultra low-dropout (LDO) linear regulator designed for applications requiring precise power management. It features an adjustable output voltage and includes an enable input and a power-good output, facilitating complex power sequencing for FPGAs, DSPs, and other demanding systems.

This LDO regulator operates with an input voltage range of 1.2V to 3.65V and a control voltage range of 3.0V to 5.5V. It delivers a continuous output current of up to 3A with a low dropout voltage of 0.53V at 3A. The device incorporates protection features such as over current, over temperature, power-on reset (POR), and short circuit protection, along with an internal soft-start.

The AP7176BMP-13 is available in an 8-MSOP-EP package, which includes an exposed pad for improved thermal dissipation. This mounting type is surface mount, making it suitable for automated assembly processes. The regulator is designed for fast transient response and is stable with low ESR MLCC capacitors.

Key features include RoHS3 compliance, Halogen and Antimony free ("Green" device) status, and a Moisture Sensitivity Level (MSL) of 1. Its applications span across notebooks, PCs, servers, and wireless communication devices, where efficient and reliable voltage regulation is critical.
