The LP3873ES-3.3 from National Semiconductor is a fixed 3.3V LDO regulator capable of delivering up to 3A. With a dropout voltage of just 1.2V at full load and high PSRR of 73dB at 120Hz, it provides clean, stable power for high-current digital and analog applications. The DDPAK/TO-263-5 package offers excellent thermal performance.

  • High Output Current: 3A capability supports power-hungry FPGAs, ASICs, and multiple peripherals.
  • Low Dropout: 1.2V at 3A enables efficient conversion from 5V rails.
  • Excellent PSRR: 73dB at 120Hz filters mains ripple, ensuring clean 3.3V output.
  • Robust Package: DDPAK/TO-263-5 provides superior thermal dissipation for continuous high-current operation.

High-Current 3.3V Rails

With 3A capability, this regulator powers multiple digital ICs, FPGAs, and ASICs from a single 5V supply, simplifying board design.

Automotive Engine Control Units

The DDPAK/TO-263-5 package handles high thermal loads, while 73dB PSRR at 120Hz rejects alternator noise for reliable 3.3V microcontroller operation.

Industrial Motor Drives

1.2V dropout at 3A allows operation from 4.5V rails, providing stable 3.3V for gate drivers and current sensing circuits in harsh environments.

Telecom Power Supplies

High current and 57dB PSRR at 120Hz make it suitable for line cards and base stations, ensuring clean 3.3V for DSPs and line drivers.

Medical Device Power

Stable 3.3V output with low noise supports patient monitoring systems, infusion pumps, and diagnostic equipment requiring reliable power.

Server and Storage Systems

3A output powers DDR memory termination and logic rails, while TO-263 package ensures efficient heat dissipation in dense racks.
