The LX8385/85A/85B Series devices are
positive regulators designed to provide 3A pin-compatible with earlier 3-terminal
output current. These regulators yield regulators, such as the 117 series products,
higher efficiency than currently available but they do require input and output
devices with all internal circuitry designed capacitors. A minimum 10µF capacitor is
to operate down to a 1V input-to-output required on the input and a 15µF or greater
differential. In each of these products, the on the output of these new devices for
dropout voltage is fully specified as a stability. Although, these capacitors are
function of load current. Dropout is generally included in most regulator designs.
