FAN2502SX

Voltage regulators are used to protect circuits from sudden electrical surges or sudden drops in voltage, as well as to provide a constant, steady voltage. Linear (or nonlinear) voltage regulators are essential components for any power-supply system, providing reliable voltage regulation and protection from excessive or too low input or output voltages. The FAN2502SX is an adjustable Linear voltage regulator designed to regulate voltage levels in a range of applications.

The FAN2502SX is a 3-terminal adjustable linear voltage regulator with a low quiescent current and an adjustable output voltage from 0.5V to 24V. The FAN2502SX operates in linear mode so that the output voltage is theoretically exactly equal to the adjusted reference voltage. It is designed to provide a regulated output voltage over a wide range of loadings, temperatures, and a large range of input voltages. In addition, it features built-in over-current protection, short-circuit protection, and thermal shutdown for maximum protection.

This voltage regulator has several advantages over conventional linear regulators, including improved efficiency, low output noise, better temperature stability, and good electrostatic discharge (ESD) protection. As such, the FAN2502SX is suited for powering circuit boards in consumer electronics equipment, communications systems, and other demanding applications.

The FAN2502SX features an adjustable, low dropout voltage so it can be used in applications requiring an output voltage that is more than 5V lower than the input voltage. It is also designed to operate at a low quiescent current, making it ideal for battery operated applications. The wide input voltage range allows the FAN2502SX to be used in applications with a regulated input voltage of up to 36V.

The FAN2502SX uses a current-feedback topology to sense the output current and regulate the output voltage accordingly. It also has built-in current limiting and thermal protection, ensuring safe operation in the event of an overload or thermal condition. The low drop-out voltage allows the FAN2502SX to maintain regulation across its wide input voltage range.

The FAN2502SX is a versatile 3-terminal device for voltage regulation and can be used in a wide variety of applications. It is ideal for powering circuit boards in consumer electronics equipment, communications systems, automotive applications, and other similar devices. The FAN2502SX features built-in protection features, low quiescent current, and good temperature stability making it suitable for a wide range of applications.
