Process Change Notification (PCN)
The LP3962EP/LP3965EP series of fast ultra low-dropout
linear regulators operate from a +2.5V to +7.0V input supply.
Wide range of preset output voltage options are available.
These ultra low dropout linear regulators respond very fast to
step changes in load which makes them suitable for low
voltage microprocessor applications. The LP3962EP/
LP3965EP are developed on a CMOS process which allows
low quiescent current operation independent of output load
current. This CMOS process also allows the LP3962EP/

Support
LP3965EP to operate under extremely low dropout condi- Features
tions.
n Ultra low dropout voltage
Dropout Voltage: Ultra low dropout voltage; typically 38mV
at 150mA load current and 380mV at 1.5A load current.
n Low ground pin current
n Load regulation of 0.04%
Ground Pin Current: Typically 5mA at 1.5A load current.
n 15µA quiescent current in shutdown mode
n Guaranteed output current of 1.5A DC
n Available in SOT-223,TO-263 and TO-220 packages
n Output voltage accuracy 1.5%
n Error flag indicates output status (LP3962EP)
n Sense option improves better load regulation
(LP3965EP)
Shutdown Mode: Typically 15µA quiescent current when
the shutdown pin is pulled low.
Error Flag: Error flag goes low when the output voltage
drops 10% below nominal value (for LP3962EP).
SENSE: Sense pin improves regulation at remote loads.
(For LP3965EP)
n Extremely low output capacitor requirements
n Overtemperature/overcurrent protection
Precision Output Voltage: Multiple output voltage options
are available ranging from 1.2V to 5.0V and adjustable
(LP3965EP), with a guaranteed accuracy of 1.5% at room
temperature, and 3.0% over all conditions (varying line,
load, and temperature).
Applications
