The LP38500ASD-ADJ/NOPB is a single channel, FlexCap adjustable output low dropout (LDO) linear regulator in 8 pin WSON package. This FlexCap regulator has unique compensation that allows use of any type of output capacitor with no limits on minimum or maximum equivalent series resistance (ESR). It responds very quickly to step changes in load which make the device suitable for low voltage microprocessor applications. Developed on a CMOS process (utilizing a PMOS pass transistor) the LP38500ASD-ADJ has low quiescent currents that changes little with load current.
