The LP3855ET-1.8 from Texas Instruments is a high-current fixed 1.8V low dropout linear regulator capable of delivering 1.5A. It features a low dropout voltage of 0.38V and PSRR up to 73dB at 120Hz. The TO-220-5 package ensures excellent thermal performance for demanding applications.

  • High Output Current: 1.5A capacity supports power-hungry FPGAs, DSPs, and ASICs.
  • Ultra-Low Dropout: 0.38V at 1.5A minimizes power dissipation and allows operation from lower input voltages.
  • Excellent PSRR: Up to 73dB at 120Hz provides clean power for noise-sensitive digital circuits.
  • Thermal Efficiency: TO-220-5 package with exposed tab dissipates heat effectively for reliable high-current operation.
