transient response

LD49300PT Product Page
As the speed, complexity and performance of modern systems increase, their dynamic loading requirements on voltage regulators become even harsher.
The solution to meet ever-increasing demand for future systems, is a fully integrated regulator with ultra fast transient response.
The LD49300 optimized for low-voltage, high current applications in set-top boxes, servers and desktop PCs, is a high-bandwidth, low-dropout, 3Amp voltage regulator ideal for powering core voltages of lowpower microprocessors. It consumes only 5mA of quiescent current without compromising transient response.

Functional Description


The LD49300 implements a dual supply configuration, providing very low output impedance and very fast transient response.
This regulator requires a bias input supply and a main input supply, allowing ultra-low drop voltage on the main supply rail. The input supply operates from 1.4V to 6V and the bias supply requires between 3V and 6V for proper operation.
The LD49300 offers the most common fixed output voltages and adjustable output voltages down to 0.8V, giving designers a linear alternative to noisy and expensive switching regulators. The LD49300 requires at least a 1μF output capacitance to ensure stability.
Specific capacitor selection could however be needed to ensure the transient response.
