California Micro Devices Expands LDO Voltage Regulator Family for Networking and PC Computing Applications; Power Wise Regulator Family Expanded to Include 1.0Amp LDOs.Business Editors/High-Tech Writers NOTE TO MEDIA: Photos are available in a Smart News Release(TM) on Business Wire's Home Page at www.businesswire.com and at www.newstream.com MILPITAS, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Feb. 27, 2002 California Micro Devices (Nasdaq:CAMD CAMD Center for Advanced Microstructures and Devices CAMD Clean Air Markets Division (US EPA) CAMD Computer-Assisted Molecular Design CAMD Chemical Agent and Munitions Disposal CAMD Carl Asmis Memorial Dressage Association ) today announced the two newest members of its industry leading Power Wise Regulator(TM) Family. The CM3001 and CM3002 low dropout (1) On magnetic media, a bit that has lost its strength due to a surface defect or recording malfunction. If the bit is in an audio or video file, it might be detected by the error correction circuitry and either corrected or not, but if not, it is often not noticed by the human (LDO LDO Low-Dropout (Used With Regulators) LDO Limited Duty Officer LDO Light Diesel Oil (petroleum) LDO Local Development Officer (Nepal) LDO Land Development Ordinance ) voltage regulators are designed for leading PC applications, such as gigabit network interface cards (NICs) and other advanced PCI (1) (Payment Card Industry) See PCI DSS. (2) (Peripheral Component Interconnect) The most widely used I/O bus (peripheral bus). and PCMCIA cards that require very low dropout voltage at up to 1.0 Amp. The CM3001 and CM3002 can be used to supply fixed voltages of 1.3V, 1.5V, 1.8V, 2.5V, and 3.3V from a 3.3V supply. The CM3002 also provides an enable pin to support low power shutdown mode. The CM3001 and CM3002 LDO products are also superior power management solutions for other applications that require lower voltage regulation Voltage regulation The change in voltage magnitude that occurs when the load (at a specified power factor) is reduced from the rated or nominal value to zero, with no intentional manual readjustment of any voltage control, expressed in percent of nominal , such as PCMCIA cards, PC computing platforms and personal electronics applications like set-top boxes and gaming consoles. "Building on our strong position and experience as the leading supplier of power management solutions to the network interface card market, we developed our CM3001 and CM3002 to meet the needs of advanced networking chipsets that require voltages as low as 1.3V to be delivered from a 3.3V power source," said Joe Salvador, director of marketing, computing products. Wide Selection of Moderate Current LDOs The CM3001 and CM3002 LDO product lines offer thermally enhanced packaging, low quiescent current, excellent load regulation and fast responses to load current changes. These products also feature low input voltage of 3.3V and a selection of fixed output voltages ranging between 1.3V to 3.3V. The CM3001 supports up to 500 mA output current, while the CM3002 supports up to 1.0A. In addition to providing protection for thermal overload, current limit, and reverse voltage, the thermally enhanced, 8-pin fused lead-frame packaging provides a low thermal path for heat dissipation. To minimize power consumption, down to 150micronA, some devices feature an enable pin that disables the device when it is not needed.
