LT1528 3A Low Dropout Regulator

The LT ®1528 is a 3A low dropout regulator optimized to handle the large load current transients associated with the current generation of microprocessors. This device has the fastest transient response of currently available PNP regulators and is very tolerant of variations in capacitor ESR. Dropout voltage is 75mV at 10mA, rising to 300mV at 1A and 600mV a.
