The LP3980-30B5F is a low dropout, fixed output voltage regulator (LDO) housed in a surface mount SOT23-5 package. This device is manufactured by LOWPOWER with RoHS compliance. It is designed to provide a cost-effective, high accuracy, low noise, and low dropout voltage regulator solution for very low current and space constrained applications. The device is capable of supplying up to 500mA of output current and regulating an output voltage from 0.8V to 13.2V with a load regulation of 0.1% and a line regulation of 0.1%. It also does not require an external overload protection circuit, making it ideal for applications where minimum board space is needed. Additionally, the device boasts a low quiescent current of only 100µA at full load, making it extremely power efficient. The device is also RoHS compliant, making it environment friendly.
