The LP3966ESX-1.8/NOPB is a 3A low-dropout linear regulator from Texas Instruments with a fixed 1.8V output. Packaged in TO-263 (DDPAK-5), it offers a dropout voltage of 1.2V at full load and a quiescent current of 9mA. This regulator is well-suited for post-regulation and noise-sensitive applications requiring high current and stable voltage.
- High Output Current: 3A capability for power-hungry digital and analog loads.
- Simple Post-Regulation: 1.2V dropout enables easy cascading after 3.3V switchers.
- Low Quiescent Current: 9mA IQ reduces power loss in always-on systems.
- Durable Package: TO-263 ensures excellent heat dissipation for reliable operation.
Post-Regulation for DC-DC Converters
The 1.2V dropout allows use after a 3.3V switching regulator to produce a clean 1.8V rail with reduced switching noise.
Audio Amplifier Supplies
Provides low-noise 1.8V for digital audio codecs and DACs, with 9mA quiescent current for efficient operation.
Server Motherboard VRMs
Supports 3A loads for memory termination or I/O logic in server platforms, with robust TO-263 thermal performance.
Test and Measurement Equipment
Delivers stable 1.8V to precision ADC reference circuits, ensuring accurate readings in benchtop instruments.
Telecom Line Cards
Powers DSPs and framers in telecom infrastructure, handling continuous 3A loads with minimal voltage deviation.
Industrial Robotics Controllers
Regulates 1.8V for motion control MCUs, providing reliable power in harsh factory environments.
