DESCRIPTION KEY FEATURES
The LX8117/8117A/8117B series are
positive Low Dropout (LDO) regulators.
At the designed maximum load current,
the LX8117 series dropout voltage is guaranteed to be 1.2V or lower at 0.8A
(LX8117A 1.3V @ 1A). The dropout
voltage decreases with load current.
An adjustable output voltage version
of the LX8117/17A/17B is available, as
well as versions with fixed outputs of
2.5V, 2.85V, 3.3V and 5V. The 2.85V
version is specifically designed for use
as a component of active termination
networks for the SCSI bus. On-chip
trimming of the internal voltage reference
allows specification of the initial output
voltage to within ±1% of its nominal
value. The output current-limit point is
also trimmed, which helps to minimize
stress on both the regulator and the
system power source when they are
operated under short-circuit conditions.
The regulator's internal circuitry will

PRODUCT HIGHLIGHT
operate at input-to-output differential
voltages down to 1V.
Most regulator circuit designs include
output capacitors with values in the range
of tens to hundreds of microfarads or
more. The LX8117/17A/17B typically
requires at least 10µF of output capacitance for stable operation.
PNP-type regulators can waste current
equal to as much as 10 percent of their
output as a quiescent current which flows
directly to ground, bypassing the load.
Quiescent current from the LX8117/17A/
17B flows through the load, increasing
power-use efficiency and allowing cooler
operation.
The LX8117 is available in low-profile
plastic SOT-223 and D-Pak packages for
applications where space is at a premium.
The LX8117 is also available in a plastic
TO-263 package for instances when the
thermal resistance from the circuit die to
the environment must be minimized.

Notes: 3. See thermal regulation specification for changes in output voltage due to heating effects. Load regulation and line regulation are measured at a constant junction
temperature by low duty cycle pulse testing.
4. Dropout voltage is specified over the full output current range of the device. Dropout voltage is defined as the minimum input/output differential measured
at the specified output current. Test points and limits are also shown on the Dropout Voltage Curve.
5. Minimum load current is defined as the minimum output current required to maintain regulation.
