The FAN2502S33X_NL is a low-dropout (LDO) voltage regulator manufactured by Rochester Electronics. This component is designed to provide a stable and regulated 3.3V output voltage from a higher input voltage. Rochester Electronics specializes in providing long-lifecycle semiconductors, ensuring availability of components that may be discontinued by the original manufacturer.

Applications

• Microcontroller power supplies
• FPGA power supplies
• Sensor power supplies
• Portable electronic devices
• Battery-powered systems

Features

• Low Dropout Voltage: Operates with a very small difference between input and output voltage, maximizing efficiency.
• Fixed Output Voltage: Provides a stable and accurate 3.3V output voltage.
• Low Quiescent Current: Minimizes current consumption when the regulator is not actively supplying load current, extending battery life.
• Overcurrent Protection: Includes protection against excessive current draw to prevent damage to the regulator and the load.
• Thermal Shutdown Protection: Protects the regulator from overheating by shutting down the output when the junction temperature exceeds a certain limit.
• Enable Pin: Allows the regulator to be turned on and off remotely, further reducing power consumption.

Benefits

• Stable and Regulated Output: Provides a clean and stable 3.3V output voltage, ensuring reliable operation of connected devices.
• Extended Battery Life: Low quiescent current minimizes power consumption, extending battery life in portable applications.
• Protection Features: Protects against damage from overcurrent and overheating, enhancing system reliability.
• Simple Design: Requires minimal external components, simplifying circuit design and reducing board space.
• Guaranteed Availability: Rochester Electronics ensures the continued availability of this component, even if the original manufacturer has discontinued it.

Additional Details

This LDO regulator is designed for applications requiring a stable 3.3V power supply. The exact specifications (input voltage range, output current capability, etc.) can be found in the manufacturer's datasheet. Refer to the datasheet to ensure compatibility with the target application. A small output capacitor is typically required for stability.
