FEATURES
DESCRIPTION
A high-current LDO regulator is simple to design with
the LP2975 LDO Controller. Using an external P-FET,
the LP2975 will deliver an ultra low dropout regulator
with extremely low quiescent current.

Simple to Use, Few External Components
Ultra-small VSSOP-8 Package
1.5% (A Grade) Precision Output Voltage
Low-power Shutdown Input
High open loop gain assures excellent regulation and
ripple rejection performance.
< 1 µA in Shutdown
Low Operating Current (180 µA Typical @ VIN
5V)

Wide Supply Voltage Range (1.8V to 24V)
Built-in Current Limit Amplifier
Dropout voltage is “user selectable” by sizing the
external FET: the minimum input-output voltage
required for operation is the maximum load current
multiplied by the RDS(ON) of the FET.
Overtemperature Protection
5.0V, and 3.3V Standard Output Voltages
Can be Programmed Using External Divider
Overcurrent protection of the external FET is easily
implemented by placing a sense resistor in series
with VIN. The 57 mV detection threshold of the current
sense circuitry minimizes dropout voltage and power
dissipation in the resistor.
−40°C to +125°C Junction Temperature Range
