National LP3999 Low Noise 150mA Voltage Regulator Datasheet
The LP3999 regulator is designed for portable wireless and battery‑powered applications, providing accurate output voltage with low noise and low quiescent current. It includes an enable pin for virtually zero power consumption when disabled and internal short‑circuit and over‑temperature protection.
Key features include a 2.5 V‑6.0 V input range, fixed output options from 1.5 V to 3.3 V, 60 mV typical dropout at 150 mA, 10 µVrms output noise (10 Hz‑100 kHz), and a guaranteed 150 mA output current. The device is offered in 5‑pin micro‑SMD and 6‑pin LLP packages and operates from –40 °C to +125 °C.
