Global Mixed-mode Technology G973
4A Low Dropout Regulator with Enable
Features General Description
Adjustable Output Low to 0.8V The G973 is a high performance positive voltage
330mV Dropout @ 4A, VO 1.2V regulator designed for use in applications requiring
Over Current and Over Temperature Protection very low Input voltage and very low dropout voltage at
Enable Pin up to 4 amps. It operates with VPP voltage 5V and
Low Reverse Leakage (Output to Input ) output voltage programmable as low as 0.8V. The
Power SOP-8 (FD) Packages with Thermal Pad
G973 features ultra low dropout, ideal for applications
±2% Output Voltage
where VOUT is very close to VIN. Additionally, the G973
VO Power OK Signal
has an enable pin to further reduce power dissipation
1.2V Options by Setting ADJ Pin Below 0.2V
and Adjustable Externally Using Resistors while shutdown. The G973 provides excellent regula-
VO Pull Low Resistance when Disable tion over variations in line, load and temperature. The
VO Soft Start when Enable G973 provides a power OK signal to indicate if the
voltage level of VO reaches 92% of its rating value.
Applications The G973 is available in the power SOP-8 (FD) pack-
Motherboards age. It is available with 1.2V internally preset outputs
Peripheral Cards that are also adjustable using external resistors.

* Thermal Pad can be connected to VIN 0.8 (R1+R2)
1. VO = Volts, R2<120kΩ is recommended
** Connect Thermal Pad to ground plate will R2
have better thermal performance
2. C1 is not necessary. VO is also stable if C1 = 22pF~150pF
