S-13A1C17-A6T1U3

The S-13A1C17-A6T1U3 is a linear voltage regulator specifically designed for use in a number of consumer electronic products like notebook computers, cellphone battery chargers, and digital games. It is designed to accept input voltages between 5 V and 40 V and provide a fixed output voltage of 5.0 V with a maximum output current of 1.5 A. The S-13A1C17-A6T1U3 is also capable of working in USB-dedicated charger ports with a USB Type-A output, enabling it to provide charging, data, and audio/video to connected devices.

The S-13A1C17-A6T1U3 utilizes the well proven design of the linear based regulator, where the output voltage is maintained at a constant level despite input voltage, load current or temperature fluctuations. The linear regulator functions by comparing an internally generated reference voltage (usually derived from an external reference, such as a bandgap reference element) with a replica of the output voltage. The difference between the two voltages is amplified and an error amplifier, connected to an output transistor, then adjusts the output voltage to always maintain the output at the reference voltage.

The S-13A1C17-A6T1U3 is a very efficient and cost effective voltage regulator and provides a significant advantage over other linear voltage regulators due to its low power consumption, high accuracy and temperature stability. Its low dropout voltage also means it can handle higher input voltages and still maintain a good output voltage regulation. Its strong on-chip protection features, such as current and thermal protection, makes it ideal for automotive and industrial applications.

The S-13A1C17-A6T1U3 also has built-in ESD protection, eliminating the need for external ESD protection circuitry. This feature helps prevent any damage to the device or cause unwanted performance degradation. The device also offers reverse current protection, ensuring that no current will flow from the output to the input if the proper polarity is not observed. The S13A1C17-A6T1U3 also includes soft start and current limit options, providing comprehensive electrical protection.

The S-13A1C17-A6T1U3 has become a popular choice for voltage regulation requirements in many consumer electronics products. Its wide input voltage range, low power consumption, low dropout voltage and other features make it ideal for digital games, notebook computers, cellphone chargers, automotive, and industrial applications.

In conclusion, the S-13A1C17-A6T1U3 linear voltage regulator is a cost effective and efficient device that is well suited for use in a variety of applications. Its low power consumption, wide input voltage range, and various protection features make it an ideal choice for power regulation tasks. It can be used for charging, data, audio/video applications in USB-dedicated charger ports, as well as in automotive, industrial, and other consumer electronics products.
