National Semiconductor LP38691-ADJ/LP38693-ADJ Datasheet
The LP38691-ADJ and LP38693-ADJ are 500mA low dropout CMOS linear regulators designed to provide a stable output voltage with ceramic capacitors. These devices feature a precision 2.0% reference voltage and an extremely low dropout voltage of 250mV at a 500mA load current with a 5V output.
Available in SOT-223 and 6-Lead LLP packages, these regulators utilize a PMOS power transistor to minimize ground pin current to below 100 µA. They include features such as thermal overload protection, foldback current limiting, and a wide input voltage range from 2.7V to 10V.
