The LP3855ET-ADJ is an adjustable low dropout regulator delivering 1.5A with a dropout of just 0.435V. Output voltage can be set from 1.23V to 6.6V, making it versatile for various logic and analog rails. The TO-220-5 package provides excellent thermal performance for high-power applications, while 73dB PSRR at 120Hz ensures clean output for noise-sensitive circuits.

  • Wide adjustable range: 1.23V to 6.6V covers multiple logic families.
  • Low dropout: 0.435V at 1.5A maximizes headroom in tight designs.
  • High PSRR: 73dB at 120Hz rejects power supply noise.
  • TO-220 package: Superior heat dissipation for continuous high-current operation.
