lx8385 3 A LOW DROPOUT POSITIVE REGULATORS

lx8385 3 A LOW DROPOUT POSITIVE REGULATORS

The LX8385/8385A/8385B series ICs are positive regulators designed to provide 3A output current. Each regulator yields higher efficiency than currently available devices with all internal circuitry designed to operate down to a 1V input-to-outputdifferential. In these products, the dropout voltage i.

Features

compatible with earlier 3-terminal regulators, such as 117 series products. While a 10µF output capacitor is required on both input and output of these new devices, this is generally included in most regulator designs. The quiescent current of the LX8385/ 85A/85B series products flows into the load, increasing efficiency. This feature contrasts with PNP regulator designs, where up to 10% of the output current is wasted as quiescent current. The LX8385-xxI is rated for -25°C to +125°C applications, and the LX8385-xxC /8385B-xxC is rated for 0°C to +125°C applications. K E Y F E AT U R E S s Th.
