T he ADP3338 is a member of the ADP330x family of
precision low dropout anyCAP voltage regulators. T he
ADP3338 operates with an input voltage range of +2.6 V
to +12 V and delivers a load current up to 1 A. T he
ADP3338 stands out from the conventional LDOs with a
novel architecture and an enhanced process that enables it
to offer performance advantages and higher output current
than its competition. Its patented design requires only a
1.0 µF output capacitor for stability. T his device is insen-
sitive to output capacitor Equivalent Series Resistance
(ESR), and is stable with any good quality capacitor, in-
cluding ceramic (MLCC) types for space-restricted appli-
cations. T he ADP3338 achieves exceptional accuracy of
±0.9% at room temperature and ±1.5% over temperature,
line and load variations. T he dropout voltage of the
ADP3338 is only 700 mV (typical) at 1 A. T his device
also includes a safety current limit, thermal overload pro-
tection and a shutdown feature. In shutdown mode, the
ground current is reduced to less than 2 µA. T he
ADP3338 has ultralow quiescent current 70 µA (typ) in
light load situations.
