Product Description
The California Micro Devices’ SmartOR
TM
CMPWR101 is
a low dropout regulator that delivers up to 250mA of load
current at a fixed 3.3V output. An internal threshold level
(typically 4.1V) is used to prevent the regulator from
being operated below dropout voltage. The device
continuously monitors the input supply and will automati-
cally disable the regulator when V
falls below the
threshold level. When the regulator is disabled, a low
impedance, fully integrated switch is enabled which
allows the output to be directly powered from an auxil-
iary 3.3V supply.
Applications
PCI adapter cards
Network Interface Cards (NIC’s)
Dual power systems
Systems with standby capabilities
C1660101
Pin Diagram
When V
is restored to a level above the select thresh-
old, the low impedance switch is disabled and the
regulator is once again enabled.
All the necessary control circuitry needed to provide a
smooth and automatic transition between the supplies
has been incorporated. This allows V
to be dynamically
switched without loss of output voltage.
An output logic signal, DRIVE, is active LOW whenever
the internal regulator is disabled.
