EN
Enable (LP38502 only). Pull high to enable the output, low to disable the output. This pin has
no internal bias and must be either tied to the input voltage, or actively driven.
N/C
In the LP38500, this pin has no internal connections. It can be left floating or used for trace
routing.

DAP
The DAP is used to remove heat from the device by conducting it to the copper clad area on
the PCB which acts as the heatsink. The DAP is electrically connected to the backside of the
die. The DAP must be connected to ground potential, but can not be used as the only ground
connection.

Function
Ground
Input Supply (LP38500 only). Input Supply pins share current and must be connected together
on the PC Board.

no internal bias and must be either tied to the input voltage, or actively driven.
Input Supply. Input Supply pins share current and must be connected together on the PC
Board.
Regulated Output Voltage. Output pins share current and must be connected together on the
PC Board.
Sets output voltage
The DAP is used to remove heat from the device by conducting it to a copper clad area on the
PCB which acts as a heatsink. The DAP is electrically connected to the backside of the die. The
DAP must be connected to ground potential, but can not be used as the only ground
connection.
These devices have limited built-in ESD protection. The leads should be shorted together or the device placed in conductive foam
during storage or handling to prevent electrostatic damage to the MOS gates.
