SNVS361E –JULY 2007–REVISED NOVEMBER 2015
LP38513 3-A Fast Response Ultra-Low Dropout Linear Regulator
1 Features
3 Description
The LP38513 fast-response ultra-low dropout linear
regulator operates from a 2.25-V to 5.5-V input
supply. This device responds very quickly to step
changes in line or load conditions, making it suitable

Input Supply Voltage 2.25 V to 5.5 V
Conversions from 2.5-V Rail to 1.8-V Rail
Stable with Ceramic Capacitors
Low Ground Pin Current
for
low-voltage
microprocessor
applications.
Developed on a CMOS process, with a PMOS pass
transistor, the LP38513 has low quiescent-current
operation independent of the output load current.
Load Regulation of 0.1% for 10 mA to 3-A Load

•
Ground Pin Current: Typically 12 mA at 3-A load
current.
Disable Mode: Typically 60 µA quiescent current
when the enable (EN) pin is pulled low.
ERROR Flag: The ERROR flag goes low if VOUT
falls more than typically 15% below the nominal
value.
