Application Hints
To assure proper operation, the signal source used to drive
the Shutdown input must be able to swing above and below
the specified turn-on/turn-off voltage thresholds listed in the
Electrical Characteristics section under V
REVERSE INPUT-OUTPUT VOLTAGE
The PNP power transistor used as the pass element in the
LP3878 has an inherent diode connected between the regu-
lator output and input.
During normal operation (where the input voltage is higher
than the output) this diode is reverse-biased.

ON/OFF

However, if the output is pulled above the input, this diode
will turn ON and current will flow into the regulator output.
In such cases, a parasitic SCR can latch which will allow a
high current to flow into V
can damage the part.
In any application where the output may be pulled above the
input, an external Schottky diode must be connected from
V
reverse voltage across the LP3878 to 0.3V (see Absolute
Maximum Ratings).
