Traditional Limitations for in Powering
FPGAs/DSPs/ASICs/µPs
For high-performance digital ICs such as FPGAs, DSPs, µP’s, µC’s
and ASICs, the trend is for higher currents and lower voltages.
More efficient, switching regulators have traditionally been used to
power these devices but there are noise and layout limitations, so
LDOs have come into play.

The LDO must have:
Operation over a wide input/output voltage range
High output current capability
Low output noise
Low dropout operation
Excellent thermal performance
Fast response time
High PSRR
System debugging features a “+” plus
