Apl5910 - Hitachi 55HK6T64U Service Manual

APL5910

General Description
The APL5910 is a 1A ultra low dropout linear regulator. The IC needs two supply voltages, one is a control
voltage (VCNTL) for the control circuitry, the other is a main supply voltage (VIN) for power conversion, to
reduce power dissipation and provide extremely low dropout voltage. The APL5910 integrates many functions.
A Power-On- Reset (POR) circuit monitors both supply voltages on VCNTL and VIN pins to prevent erroneous
operations. The functions of thermal shutdown and current-limit protect the device against thermal and current
over-loads. A POK indicates that the output voltage status with a delay time set internally. It can control other
converter for power sequence. The APL5910 can be enabled by other power systems. Pulling and holding the
EN voltage below 0.4V shuts off the output.
The APL5910 is available in a SOP-8P package which features small size as SOP-8 and an Exposed Pad to
reduce the junction-to-case resistance to extend power range of applications.
