DESCRIPTION

The LP38512-ADJ Fast-Transient Response Low-

Dropout Voltage Regulator offers the highestin

performance in meeting AC and DC accuracy

requirements for powering Digital Cores. The

LP38512-ADJ uses a proprietary control loop that

enables extremely fast response to change in line

conditions and load demands. Output Voltage DC

accuracy is specified at 2.5% over line, load and full

temperature range from -40°C to +125°C. The

LP38512-ADJ is designed for inputs from the 2.5V,

3.3V, and 5.0V rail, is stable with 10 μF ceramic

capacitors, and has an adjustable output voltage. The

LP38512-ADJ provides excellent transient

performance to meet the demand of high

performance digital core ASICs, DSPs, and FPGAs

found in highly-intensive applications such as servers,

routers/switches, and base stations.
