3 Description
TI's FlexCap low-dropout (LDO) linear
regulators feature unique compensation that allow use of any type of output capacitor with no limits on minimum or maximum equivalent series resistance (ESR). The LP38501 and LP38503 series of LDOs operate from a 2.7-V to 5.5-V input supply. These ultra-low-dropout linear
regulators respond very quickly to step changes in load, making them suitable for low-voltage microprocessor applications. Developed on a CMOS process (utilizing a PMOS pass
transistor) the LP38501-ADJ and ...
