The LP38503TJ-ADJ/NOPB from National Semiconductor is a high-current adjustable LDO regulator capable of delivering 3A. Its output can be set from 0.6V upward using external resistors, offering design flexibility. With a dropout of just 0.67V at full load and a quiescent current of only 15µA, it balances performance and efficiency. The TO-263-5 Thin package provides good thermal characteristics for compact designs.
- Adjustable Output: Flexible voltage setting from 0.6V to 5V.
- High Current: 3A capability for demanding loads.
- Low Quiescent Current: 15µA improves efficiency in battery applications.
- Low Dropout: 0.67V @ 3A minimizes power loss.
FPGA and DSP Core Power
Adjustable output down to 0.6V with 3A capability makes it ideal for powering low-voltage digital cores in FPGAs and DSPs.
High-Efficiency Point-of-Load Regulation
With only 15µA quiescent current and 0.67V dropout, it efficiently steps down from 5V or 3.3V rails.
Battery-Powered Industrial Equipment
Low quiescent current extends battery life in portable industrial tools and instruments.
Automotive Infotainment Systems
Provides a stable adjustable rail for processors and displays, with PSRR of 58dB at 120Hz to reject alternator noise.
Networking and Communication Infrastructure
Delivers clean power to high-speed transceivers and switches, maintaining signal integrity.
Precision Analog Circuits
Adjustable output allows fine-tuning of supply voltages for op-amps and ADCs, improving accuracy.
