The LP3855EMP-3.3 from Texas Instruments is a fixed 3.3V low dropout linear regulator capable of delivering up to 1.5A. It features a low dropout voltage of 0.44V at full load and a high PSRR of 73dB at 120Hz, making it excellent for noise-sensitive applications. The SOT-223-5 package offers good thermal performance and ease of assembly. This regulator is well-suited for post-regulation and general-purpose 3.3V power supply needs.
- High Output Current: 1.5A capability supports power-hungry digital loads.
- Excellent PSRR: 73dB at 120Hz effectively filters input ripple and noise.
- Low Dropout: 0.44V dropout at 1.5A improves efficiency and allows lower input voltages.
- Robust Package: SOT-223-5 provides good thermal dissipation for high-current operation.
Post-Regulation for Switching Supplies
In systems with a noisy DC-DC converter, the LP3855 can provide a clean 3.3V rail. Its high PSRR (73dB at 120Hz) attenuates ripple and switching noise, ensuring clean power for sensitive loads.
FPGA and CPLD Core Supplies
Many FPGAs require a 3.3V I/O supply with high current. The LP3855's 1.5A capability and low dropout make it suitable for powering multiple I/O banks or a small core.
Networking Equipment
Routers and switches need reliable 3.3V for PHY chips and controllers. The SOT-223 package is easy to mount and the 1.5A current rating supports multiple ICs.
Industrial Automation
PLCs and motor controllers often use 3.3V logic. The LP3855 provides a robust, stable supply that can handle the current spikes common in industrial environments.
Test and Measurement
Bench instruments require low-noise power for accurate measurements. The high PSRR of this LDO helps maintain signal integrity in sensitive analog front-ends.
Consumer Electronics
Set-top boxes and gaming consoles use 3.3V for various peripherals. The LP3855's high current capability and thermal performance in SOT-223 make it a reliable choice.
