At only 50.8 x12.7 x 9.98mm, and with a choice of vertical or horizontal mounting pins, the devices are sized for use in applications with the most restrictive space requirements.
Competitive pricing and compact size enable the new APA18 models to economically replace discrete designs while using less board space and minimising the time to market for DSP and ASIC applications.
The APA18 devices incorporate a remote enable pin to allow for sequential activation as well as built-in overcurrent and overtemperature protection with auto-recovery from any protective shutdown once a fault is removed.
In addition, the new models feature a high current slew rate up to 1A/us and operate with low output ripple and noise.
A wide operating temperature range of -40 to +85C and mean time between failures (MTBF) in excess of 1Mh make the APA18 series suitable for use in extreme environments and for applications such as data and telecommunications.
They are also well suited for instrumentation, internetworking devices such as hubs and routers, automatic test equipment and other applications where rapid time to market is a priority.
Designed to meet worldwide standards for safety and performance, APA18 models are priced from $24.45 in OEM quantities with samples available now.
