3 Description
The LP3878-ADJ is an 800-mA, adjustable output,
voltage regulator designed to provide high
performance and low noise in applications requiring
output voltages as low as 1 V.
Using an optimized VIP (Vertically Integrated PNP)
process, the LP3878-ADJ delivers superior
performance:
• Ground Pin Current: Typically 5.5 mA at 800-mA
load, and 180 µA at 100-µA load.
• Low Power Shutdown: The LP3878-ADJ draws
less than 10-μA quiescent current when the
SHUTDOWN pin is pulled low.
• Precision Output: Ensured output voltage
accuracy is 1% at room temperature.
• Low Noise: Broadband output noise is only 18 μV
(typical) with a 10-nF bypass capacitor.

*Capacitor values shown are minimum required to assure stability. A larger output capacitor provides improved
dynamic response. Output capacitor must meet ESR requirements (see Application Information).
**The SHUTDOWN (or S/D) pin must be actively terminated (see Device Functional Modes). Tie to IN (pin 4) if not
used.
