800mA Fast Ultra Low Dropout Linear Regulators
General Description
The LP3961/LP3964 series of fast ultra low-dropoutlinear
regulators operate from a +2.5V to +7.0V inputsupply . Wide
range of preset output voltage options are available. These
ultra low dropoutlinear regulators respond very fast to step
changes in load which makes them suitable for low voltage
microprocessor applications. The LP3961/LP3964 are de-
veloped on a CMOS process which allows low quiescent
current operation independent of output load current. This
CMOS process also allows the LP3961/LP3964 to operate
under extremely low dropoutconditions.
Dropout Voltage: Ultra low dropoutvoltage; typically24mV
at 80mA load current and 240mV at 800mA load current.
Ground Pin Current: Typically4mA at 800mA load current.
Shutdown Mode: Typically 15 A quiescent current when
the shutdown pin is pulled low .
Error Flag: Error flag goes low when the output voltage
drops 10% below nominal value (for LP3961).
SENSE: Sense pin improves regulation at remote loads.
(For LP3964)
Precision Output Voltage: Multipleoutput voltage options
are available ranging from 1.2V to 5.0V and adjustable, with
a guaranteed accuracy of
and
+/-
3.0% over all conditions ( varying line, load, and
tempera- ture).
Typical Application Circuits
# Minimumoutputcapacitance is 10 F to ensure stabilityover fullload current range. More capacitance provides superior dynamic performance and additional
stability margin.
*SD and ERROR pins must be pulledhigh througha 10kWpull-upresistor. Connect the ERROR pin to groundif this functionis not used. See applications sec-
tion for more information.
