The LP38511TJ-1.8/NOPB is a fixed 1.8V low dropout linear regulator capable of delivering 800mA. Its standout feature is an ultra-low 3.5 µA quiescent current, making it ideal for battery-operated devices. With a dropout voltage of just 0.26V at full load, it maximizes efficiency in low-headroom designs. The regulator offers excellent ripple rejection of 73dB at 120Hz, ensuring clean power for sensitive electronics. Housed in a TO-263-5 Thin package, it balances thermal performance with a compact footprint.
- Extended Battery Life: 3.5 µA quiescent current minimizes standby drain, ideal for always-on applications.
- High Efficiency in Low-Headroom Designs: 0.26V dropout at 800mA allows operation from nearly depleted batteries.
- Clean Output Power: 73dB PSRR at 120Hz effectively filters mains-frequency ripple.
- Robust Thermal Package: TO-263-5 Thin dissipates heat efficiently for reliable 800mA operation.
