LD39300 Ultra low drop BICMOS voltage regulator Feature summary 3A Guaranteed output current Ultra low dropout voltage (200mV typ. 3A load, 40mV typ. 600mA load) Very low quiescent current (1.2mA typ. 3A load, 1A max 25C in off mode) Logic-controlled electronic shutdown DPAK PPAK Current and thermal internal limit 1.5% Output voltage tolerance 25C Fixed and ADJ output voltages: 1.22V, 1.8V, 2.5V, 3.3V, ADJ. (*see order code) Temperature range: -40 to 125C Fast dynamic response to line and load Description changes The LD39300 is a fast ultra low drop linear Stable with ceramic capacitor (see paragraph regulator which operates from 2.5V to 6V input 7.1, 7.2, 7.3) supply. Available in PPAK and DPAK A wide range of output options are available. The low drop voltage, low noise, and ultra low Typical application quiescent current make it suitable for low voltage Microprocessor power supply microprocessor and memory applications. The device is developed on a BiCMOS process which DSPs power supply allows low quiescent current operation Post regulators for switchin suppliers independently of output load current.
