The ET5A018YB is a high-current 1.8V low-dropout linear regulator capable of delivering up to 1A from a compact 8-DFN (1.2x1.6mm) package. Featuring an ultra-low dropout of 0.22V at full load and 70dB PSRR at 1kHz, it provides clean, stable power for digital cores, memory, and precision analog circuits in space-constrained applications.
- High Output Current: 1A capability supports power-hungry processors and FPGAs.
- Ultra-Low Dropout: 0.22V at 1A maximizes efficiency in 3.3V to 1.8V conversions.
- Excellent Noise Rejection: 70dB PSRR at 1kHz ensures clean power for sensitive mixed-signal circuits.
- Compact High-Density Package: 8-DFN (1.2x1.6mm) enables dense PCB layouts.
FPGA Core Power
With 1A output capability, the ET5A018YB can power the core voltage of small FPGAs. The 0.22V dropout ensures stable 1.8V even when the input rail dips to 2.0V.
DDR Memory Termination
For DDR3/DDR4 memory systems, this LDO provides clean 1.8V for VTT termination, with 70dB PSRR reducing switching noise from the memory controller.
High-Speed ADC/DAC Supplies
Precision data converters require low-noise 1.8V rails. The ET5A018YB's high PSRR and low dropout make it ideal for powering analog-to-digital converters in communication systems.
