About this manual

The LP3878-ADJ is an 800 mA adjustable output voltage regulator designed for high performance and low noise in applications requiring output voltages as low as 1 V. It features a VIP™ (Vertically Integrated PNP) process, low ground‑pin current, and a shutdown pin that reduces quiescent current to under 10 µA.

The device is offered in 8‑Lead PSOP (MRA) and 8‑Lead LLP (SD) surface‑mount packages, supports a wide operating temperature range of –40 °C to +125 °C, and includes over‑temperature and over‑current protection. Detailed electrical characteristics, absolute maximum ratings, and typical performance graphs are provided for design reference.
