LP3853/LP3856 3A Fast Response Ultra Low Dropout Linear Regulators
General Description
The LP3853/LP3856 series of fast ultra low-dropout linear regulators operate from a +2.5V to +7.0V input supply. Wide range of preset output
voltage options are available. These ultra low dropout linear regulators respond very quickly to step changes in load, which makes them suitable for low
voltage microprocessor applications. The LP3853/LP3856 are developed on a
CMOS process which allows low quiescent current operation independent of output load current. This
CMOS process also allows the LP3853/LP3856 to operate under extremely low dropout conditions. Dropout
Voltage: Ultra low dropout
voltage; typically 39mV at 300mA load current and 390mV at 3A load current. Ground Pin Current: Typically 4mA at 3A load current. Shutdown Mode: Typically 10nA quiescent current when the shutdown pin is pulled low. Error Flag: Error flag goes low when the output
voltage drops 10% below nominal value. SENSE: Sense pin improves regulation at remote loads. Precision Output
Voltage: Multiple output
voltage options are available ranging from 1.8V to 5.0V with a guaranteed accuracy of ± 1.5% at room temperature, and ± 3.0% over all conditions (varying line, load, and temperature).
