LND48XX
GENERAL DESCRIPTION
This series of fixed-voltage monolithic
micropower voltage regulators is designed for a
wide range of applications. This device is an
excellent choice for use in battery-powered
application. Furthermore, the quiescent current
increases only slightly at dropout, which
prolongs battery life.
This series of fixed-voltage regulators features
very low quiescent current(100mA Typ.) and
very low drop output voltage (Typ. 60mV at light
load and 420mV at 400mA). This includes a
tight initial tolerance of 0.5%typ. Extremely good
load and line regulation of 0.05% typ., and very
low output temperature coefficient. This series
of fixed-voltage regulators is offered in 3-pin TO220 package compatible with other fixed voltage
regulators. Adjust model is offered in 5-pin TO220 package and fixed model with shutdown
input is offered in 4-pin TO-220 package.
400mA Low Dropout Voltage Regulators
FEATURES
• 400mA output within 2% over
temperature
• Very low quiescent current
• Low dropout voltage (420mV Typ)
• Extremely tight load and line regulation
• Very low temperature coefficient
• Current and thermal limiting
• Unregulated DC input can withstand –
20V reverse battery and +60V positive
transients
• Direct replacement for SGS-Thomson-
L48XX Series, but has lower ground
current, higher accuracy of output
voltage and extremely tight load and
line regulation. The 5 pin version
(adjust model) and 4 pin version (fixed
model) have a shutdown input.

Note 1: Output or reference voltage temperature coefficients defined as the worst case voltage change divided by the total
temperature range.
Note 2: Regulations are measured at constant junction temperature, using pulse testing with a low duty cycle. Changes in
output voltage due to heating effects are covered under the specification for thermal regulation.
Note 3: Line regulation is tested at 150ºC for I
0.2%. For LND4815 16V<= Vin <=26V.
Note 4: Dropout voltage is defined as the input to output differential at which the output voltage drops 2% below its nominal
value measured at 1V differential.
Note 5: Group pin current is the regulator quiescent current. The total current drawn from the source is the sum of the ground
pin current and output load current.
Note 6: Thermal Regulation is the change in the output voltage at a time T after a change in power dissipation, excluding load
or line regulation effects. Specifications are for a 200mA load pulse (3W pulse) for T=10ms.
Note 7: Vref <=Vout <=(Vin – 1V), 2.3V<=Vin <=26V,100µA <= I
Note 8: Vshutdown >=2V, Vin <=26V, Vout =0v.
