LP38859 Datasheet, PDF (4/14 Pages) National Semiconductor (TI) – 3A Fast-Response High-Accuracy LDO Linear Regulator with Soft-Start

Electrical Characteristics Unless otherwise specified: V_IN = V_OUT(NOM) + 1V, V_BIAS = 3.0V, I_OUT = 10 mA,
C_IN = C_OUT = 10 µF, C_BIAS = 1 µF, C_SS = open. Limits in standard type are for T_J = 25˚C only; limits in boldface type apply
over the junction temperature (T_J) range of -40˚C to +125˚C. Minimum and Maximum limits are guaranteed through test,
design, or statistical correlation. Typical values represent the most likely parametric norm at T_J = 25˚C, and are provided for
reference purposes only. (Continued)

Note 1: Note 1: Absolute Maximum Ratings indicate limits beyond which damage to the device may occur. Operating Ratings indicate conditions for which the
device is intended to be functional, but does not guarantee specific performance limits. For guaranteed specifications and conditions, see the Electrical
Characteristics.
Note 2: The human body model is a 100 pF capacitor discharged through a 1.5k resistor into each pin. Test method is per JESD22-A114. The HBM rating for device
pin 1 (SS) is ±1.5 kV.
Note 3: Device power dissipation must be de-rated based on device power dissipation (P_D), ambient temperature (T_A), and package junction to ambient thermal
resistance (θ_JA). Additional heat-sinking may be required to ensure that the device junction temperature (T_J) does not exceed the maximum operating rating. See
the Application Information section for details.
Note 4: Output voltage line regulation is defined as the change in output voltage from nominal value resulting from a change in input voltage.
Note 5: Output voltage load regulation is defined as the change in output voltage from nominal value as the load current increases from no load to full load.
Note 6: Dropout voltage is defined the as input to output voltage differential (V_IN - V_OUT) where the input voltage is low enough to cause the output voltage to drop
no more than 2% from the nominal value.
