3A Fast-Response High-Accuracy LDO Linear Regulator

General Description
The LP38856 is a high-current, fast-response regulator which
can maintain output voltage regulation with an extremely low
input to output voltage drop. Fabricated on a CMOS process,
the device operates from two input voltages: V
power for the internal bias and control circuits, as well as drive
for the gate of the N-MOS power transistor, while V
power to the load. The use of an external bias rail allows the
part to operate from ultra low V
ulators, the CMOS architecture consumes extremely low qui-
escent current at any output load current. The use of an N-
MOS power transistor results in wide bandwidth, yet minimum
external capacitance is required to maintain loop stability.
The fast transient response of this device makes it suitable
for use in powering DSP, Microcontroller Core voltages and
Switch Mode Power Supply post regulators. The LP38856 is
available in TO-220 and TO-263 5-Lead packages.
