higher efficiency than currently available pin-compatible with earlier 3-terminal
devices with all internal circuitry designed regulators, such as the 117 series products,
to operate down to a 1V input-to-output but they do require input and output
differential. In each of these products, the capacitors. A minimum 10µF capacitor is
dropout voltage is fully specified as a required on the input and a 15µF or greater
function of load current. Dropout is on the output of these new devices for

current, decreasing at lower load currents. designs.
In addition, on-chip trimming adjusts the The LX8384/84A/84B Series quiescent
reference voltage tolerance to 1% maximum current flows into the load, thereby
at room temperature and 2% maximum over increasing efficiency. This feature contrasts
the 0 to 125°C range for the LX8384A, with PNP regulators where up to 10% of the

0.8% tolerance at room temperature and the industrial temperature range of -25°C to
1.0% maximum over line, load and 125°C, while the LX8384-xxC/84A-
