13.2V to 100V Input Voltage Range
TheSupertexLR12isahighvoltage,lowoutputcurrent,adjustable
linear regulator. It has a wide operating input voltage range of
13.2V to 100V. The output voltage can be adjusted from 1.20V to
88Vprovidedthattheinputvoltageisatleast12Vgreaterthanthe
output voltage. The output voltage can be adjusted by means of
twoexternalresistorsR1 andR2 asshowninthetypicalapplication
circuits.The LR12 regulates the voltage difference between VOUT
andADJ pins to a nominal value of 1.20V. The 1.20V is amplified
by the external resistor ratio R1 and R2. An internal constant bias
current of typically 10µA is connected to the ADJ pin. This
increases VOUT by a constant voltage of 10µA times R2.
Stable with 100nF output capacitor
Adjustable 1.20V to 88V output regulation
5% reference voltage tolerance
Output current limiting, 50mA min.
10µA typical ADJ current
Over temperature protection
Available in 3 different packages
The LR12 has current limiting and temperature limiting. The
output current limit is 100mA maximum and the minimum
temperature limit is 125°C. An output short circuit current will
therefore be limited to 100mA maximum. When the junction
temperaturereachesitstemperaturelimit,theoutputcurrentand/
or output voltage will decrease to keep the junction temperature
from exceeding its temperature limit. For SMPS start-up circuit
applications, the LR12 turns off when an external voltage greater
than the output voltage of the LR12 is applied to VOUT of the LR12.
To maintain stability, a bypass capacitor of 100nF or larger and a
minimum DC output current of 500µA are required.
