are available. These ultra low dropout linear
regulators respond very quickly to step changes in

microprocessor applications. The LP3872/LP3875 are
Available in DDPAK/TO-263, TO-220 and
developed on a CMOS process which allows low

temperature).
TYPICAL APPLICATION CIRCUITS
*SD and ERROR pins must be pulled high through a 10k pull-up resistor. Connect the ERROR pin to ground if this
function is not used. See application hints for more information.
