Description
The LFxxAB/LFxxC are very low drop regulators
available in PENTAWATT, TO-220, TO-220FP,
DPAK and PPAK package and in a wide range of
output voltages. The very low drop voltage (0.45
V) and the very low quiescent current make them
particularly suitable for low noise, low power
applications and specially in battery powered
systems. In the 5 pins configuration (PENTAWATT
and PPAK) a shutdown logic control function is
available (pin 2, TTL compatible). This means that
when the device is used as a local regulator, it is
possible to put a part of the board in standby,
decreasing the total power consumption. In the
three terminal configuration the device has the
same electrical performance, but is fixed in the
ON state. It requires only a 2.2 µF capacitor for
stability allowing space and cost saving. The LFxx
is available as Automotive Grade in DPAK and
PPAK packages, for the options of output voltages
whose commercial part numbers are shown in the
order codes. These devices are qualified
according to the specification AEC-Q100 of the
Automotive market, in the temperature range - 40
°C to 125 °C, and the statistical tests PAT, SYL,
SBL are performed.
