description/ordering information
TheLFC789D25-ADJisaduallinearFETcontrollerthatsimplifiesthedesignofdualpowersupplies. Thedevice
consists of two independent controllers, each of which drives an external MOSFET to implement a low-dropout
regulator. One controller is programmed to regulate a fixed 2.5-V output, while the second controller can be
programmed to regulate any desired output voltage via a reference input pin, allowing for the creation of a
tracking regulator often needed for termination schemes. And because heating effects of the external FETs
easily can be isolated from the controllers, the controllers can regulate the output voltages to a maximum
tolerance of ±2% across temperature and load.
The LFC789D25-ADJ allows designers a great deal of flexibility in selecting external components and topology
to implement their specific power-supply needs. With appropriate heat sinking, the designer can build a
regulator with as much current capability as allowed by the external MOSFET and power supply. And, because
the dropout of the regulator is simply the product of the R
current, very low dropout can be achieved via proper selection of the power MOSFET.

Packaged in 8-pin SOIC and space-saving TSSOP, the LFC789D25-ADJ is characterized for operation from
0°C to 70°C.
