NCP5661

Maximum ratings are those values beyond which device damage can occur. Maximum ratings applied to the device are individual stress limit values (not normal operating conditions) and are not valid simultaneously. If these limits are  exceeded, device functional operation is not implied,damage may occur and reliability may be affected.
NOTE: This device series contains ESD protection and exceeds the following tests:
                   Human Body Model (HBM) JESD 22−A114−B
                   Machine Model (MM) JESD 22−A115−A.
           The maximum package power dissipation is:
                   
           The bipolar process employed for this IC is fully characterized and rated for reliable 18 V V_CCmax operation. To avoid damaging the part or degrading it's reliability, power dissipation transients should be limited to under 20 W for DPAK.
           For open−circuit to short−circuit transient,PDTransient = V_CCmax * I_SC.

The NCP5661 is a high performance, low dropout linear regulator designed for high power applications that require up to 1.0 A current.

NCP5661 is offered in both fixed and adjustable output versions. With output voltages as low as 0.9 V and ultra−fast response times for load transients, the NCP5661 also provides additional features such as Enable and Error Flag (for the fixed output version), increasing the utility of this device. A thermally robust, 5 pin DPAK, combined with an architecture that offers low ground current (independent of load),provides for a superior high−current LDO solution.
