The document introduces the features and characteristics of the UC382 low-dropout linear regulator, including fast transient response, 10-mA to 3-A load current, short circuit protection, maximum dropout of 450-mV, separate bias and VIN pins, available in adjustable or fixed-output voltages, 5-pin package allows Kelvin sensing of load voltage and reverse current protection.
The document describes the UC282 and UC382 families of Fast LDO Linear Regulators, which provide a quick response to load changes. These devices are available in fixed-output voltages (1.5V, 2.1V, 2.5V) or adjustable versions, featuring separate bias and input pins for improved performance.
| Output Voltage (Fixed) | 1.5 V, 2.1 V, or 2.5 V |
|---|---|
| Adjustable Output Default | 1.2 V |
| Maximum Dropout Voltage (VIN) | 450 mV at 3 A |
| Load Regulation | 0.5 to 4 mV |
| Short Circuit Current Limit | 3.3 to 4.5 A |
The minimum load current required for operation is 10 mA.
Yes, two or more UC382 units may be used in parallel, though this degrades transient response.
