APPLICATION INFORMATION

Introduction

The IRU1176 adjustable regulator is a five-terminal de-

vice designed specifically to provide extremely low drop-

out voltages comparable to the PNP type without the

disadvantage of the extra power dissipation due to the

base current associated with PNP regulators. This is

done by bringing out the control pin of the regulator that

provides the base current to the power NPN and con-

necting it to a voltage that is grater than the voltage present

at the VIN pin. This flexibility makes the IRU1176 ideal

for applications where dual inputs are available such as

a computer mother board with an ATX style power sup-

ply that provides 5V and 3.3V to the board. One such

application is the new graphic chip sets that require any-

where from 2.4V to 2.7V supply such as the Intel I740

chip set. The IRU1176 can easily be programmed with

the addition of two external resistors to any voltages

within the range of 1.25 to 5.5V. Another major require-

ment of these graphic chips is the need to switch the

load current from zero to several amps in tens of nano-

seconds at the processor pins, which translates to an

approximately 300 to 500ns of current step at the regu-

lator. In addition, the output voltage tolerances are also

extremely tight and they include the transient response

as part of the specification.

need for fewer number of output capacitors. Another fea-

ture of the device is its true remote sensing capability

which allows accurate voltage setting at the load rather

than at the device.

Output Voltage Setting

The IRU1176 can be programmed to any voltages in the

range of 1.25V to 5.5V with the addition of R1 and R2

external resistors according to the following formula:

VOUT = VREF 3 o1 + RR21p + IADJ 3 R2

Where:

VREF = 1.25V Typically

IADJ = 50mA Typically
