LFxx Series: 500mA Low Drop Voltage Regulators With Dump Protection (40V)

 
Chip layoutThe LFxx regulator series are very low dropout (0.45V) voltage regulators, with very low quiescent current. They can provide an output current up to 500mA and are available in a wide range of output voltages.

Features

Very Low Drop Voltage (0.45V typ)
Internal current and thermal limit
Logic controlled electronic shutdown
Requires only 2.2µF for stability
Very low standby current in off mode
When in PPAK and PENTAWATT™ they employ a shutdown logic control (inhibit TTL compatible).
Temperature range: -40°C to 125°C
Supply voltage rejection: 80dB (typ.)
A wide range of packages
Logic controlled electronic shutdown
Tolerances available: ±1% at 25°C
Nominal Voltages 1.25V, 1.5V, 2.5V, 2.7V, 3.0V, 3.3V, 4.0V, 4.5V, 4.7V, 5.0V, 5.2V, 5.5V (6.0V, 8.0V)

Applications

These features make LFxx particularly suitable for low noise low power applications and especially in battery powered systems where it is possible to use the inhibit in order to put part of the board in stand-by consequently decreasing the total power consumption. The high temperature range (-40°C to 125°C) and high input voltage protection (40V) also makes it suitable for automotive applications.
