5A Low Dropout Positive Regulators
P R O D UC TI O N
The LX8384/84A/84B Series ICs are positive regulators designed to provide 5A output current. These regulators yield higher efficiency than currently available devices with all internal circuitry designed to operate down to a 1V input-to-output differential. In each of these products, the dropout voltage is fully specified as a function of load current. Dropout is guaranteed at a maximum of 1.3V (8384A) and 1.5V (8384) at maximum output current, decreasing at lower load currents. In addition, on-chip trimming adjusts the reference voltage tolerance to 1% maximum at room temperature and 2% maximum over the 0 to 125°C range for the LX8384A, making this ideal for the Pentium P54CVRE specification. The LX8384B offers 0.8% tolerance at room temperature and 1.0% maximum over line, load and temperature. Fixed versions are also available and specified in the Available Options table below. The LX8384/84A/84B Series devices are pin-compatible with earlier 3-terminal regulators, such as the 117 series products, but they do require input and output capacitors. A minimum 10µF capacitor is required on the input and a 15µF or greater on the output of these new devices for stability. Although, these capacitors are generally included in most regulator designs. The LX8384/84A/84B Series quiescent current flows into the load, thereby increasing efficiency. This feature contrasts with PNP regulators where up to 10% of the output current is wasted as quiescent current. The LX8384-xxI is specified over the industrial temperature range of -25°C to 125°C, while the LX8384-xxC/84AxxC/84B-xxC is specified over the commercial range of 0°C to 125°C.

5A Low Dropout Positive Regulators
P R O D UC TI O N
The LX8384/84A/84B Series ICs are easy to use LowDropout (LDO) voltage regulators. They have all of the standard self-protection features expected of a voltage regulator: short circuit protection, safe operating area protection and automatic thermal shutdown if the device temperature rises above approximately 165°C. Use of an output capacitor is REQUIRED with the LX8384/84A/84B series. Please see the table below for recommended minimum capacitor values. These regulators offer a more tightly controlled reference voltage tolerance and superior reference stability when measured against the older pin-compatible regulator types that they replace. STABILITY The output capacitor is part of the regulator’s frequency compensation system. Many types of capacitors are available, with different capacitance value tolerances, capacitance temperature coefficients, and equivalent series impedances. For all operating conditions, connection of a 220µF aluminum electrolytic capacitor or a 47µF (
