THE INFINITE POWER OF INNOVATION
DESCRIPTION KEY FEATURES
The LX8383/8383A/8383B series ICs are
positive regulators designed to provide
7.5A output current. All internal circuitry
is designed to operate down to a 1V input-to-output differential, so the LX8383/
83A/83B can operate with greater efficiency than previously available devices.
The dropout voltage for each product is
fully specified as a function of load current. Dropout is guaranteed at a maxi-
mum of 1.3V for the LX8383A/83B and
1.5V for the LX8383, at maximum output
current, decreasing at lower load currents.
Fixed versions are also available and specified in the Available Options table below.
The LX8383B offers a tighter voltage reference tolerance: 0.8% initial accuracy and
1% over line, load and temperature. The
LX8383/83A have 1% initial accuracy and
2% over line, load and temperature.
The LX8383/83A/83B series devices are
pin-compatible with earlier 3-terminal
regulators, such as the 117 series products. While a 10µF output capacitor is
required on both input and output of these
new devices, this capacitor is generally
included in most regulator designs.
The LX8383/83A/83B 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 LX8383I/8383AI is
specified over the industrial temperature
range of -25°C to +125°C and the
LX8383C/8383AC/8383BC is specified
over the commercial range of 0°C to
+125°C.

Note 2. Regulation is 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. These parameters, although guaranteed, are not tested in production.
