AS1374BWLT18285

Linear voltage regulators are devices that regulate the stable output voltage of a given power supply, keeping it constant regardless of the load or other component changes. AS1374BWLT18285 is a 3.3V and 5V linear voltage regulator specifically designed for embedded systems and applications requiring up to 1A output. This component is manufactured with nanoGate, a non-toxic and lead-free technology, making it an ideal component for low power consumption applications.

AS1374BWLT18285 contains two linear output stages, one for 3.3V output and one for 5V. These output stages are constant current-sinking type that provides precision output-voltage control from a given input voltage. Its input filters can block signals up to 30MHz, meaning it can maintain a constant output voltage even in high frequency noise-laden environments. The component has a thermal overload safety protection feature that prevents damage in case of an overcurrent condition.

These regulators can be used in a wide range of applications including Ethernet, DVD players, set-top boxes, and anywhere else that needs to maintain a stable high-load output voltage. With their small form factor and efficient power consumption they can also be used in portable devices such as cell phones, PDAs, and laptops.

The working principle of the AS1374BWLT18285 regulators is based on a circuit consisting of a transistor amplifier and a feedback-control circuit. The transistor amplifier amplifies the input voltage, and the feedback-control circuit senses the output voltage in order to adjust the current drawn by the transistor, ultimately providing a steady output voltage. The output voltage can be changed by adjusting the control pin, making this an ideal component for applications with variable output voltage requirements.

In summary, AS1374BWLT18285 is a high-efficiency and high-frequency linear voltage regulator that offers precision output-voltage control with a minimal amount of power consumption and a wide range of applications. It can provide a stable 3.3V or 5V output voltage with a minimum of 1A current, making it a versatile and reliable component for a variety of embedded systems.
