Description
GM66102 of positive fixed and adjustable regulators is de-
signed to provide up to 1A output with high current, high ac-
curacy, and extremely low dropout voltage performance.
These regulators feature 300 to 350mV (full load) dropout
voltages and very low ground current. Although designed
for high current, and loads, these devices are also useful in
lower current, extremely low dropout-critical systems,
where their minimal dropout voltage and ground current val-
ues are important characteristics.
GM66102 is fully protected against overcurrent, reversed
input polarity (or reversed battery connection), reversed
lead insertion, over-temperature operation, and transient
voltage spikes (positive or negative). GM66102 is available
in TO-220, SOT-223, TO-252 and TO-263 packages.

Note 1:
Maximum positive supply voltage of 60V must be of limited duration (<100msec) and duty cycle ( 1%).
The maximum continuous supply voltage is 26V.
Note 2:
Full Load current (I
FL
) is defined as 1.0A for the GM66102 series.
Note 3:
Dropout voltage is defined as the input-to-output differential when the output voltage drops to 99% of its nominal value with
V
OUT
+ 1V applied to V
IN
Note 4:
V
IN
= V

(nominal) + 1V. For example, use V
IN
= 4.3V for a 3.3V regulator or use 6V for a 5V regulator. Employ pulse-testing
procedures to minimize temperature rise.
Note 5:
Ground pin current is the regulator quiescent current. The total current drawn from the source is the sum of the load current plus
the ground pin current.
Note 6:
Output voltage temperature coefficient is defined as the worst case voltage change divided by the total temperature range.
