3 Description
The LP38513 fast-response ultra-low dropout linear
regulator operates from a 2.25-V to 5.5-V input
supply. This device responds very quickly to step
changes in line or load conditions, making it suitable
for low-voltage microprocessor applications.
Developed on a CMOS process, with a PMOS pass
transistor, the LP38513 has low quiescent-current
operation independent of the output load current.
• Ground Pin Current: Typically 12 mA at 3-A load
current.
• Disable Mode: Typically 60 µA quiescent current
when the enable (EN) pin is pulled low.
• ERROR Flag: The ERROR flag goes low if VOUT
falls more than typically 15% below the nominal
value.
• Precision Output Voltage: A specified VOUT
accuracy of ±2.6% with TJ from 0°C to 125°C.
