The LX8386/86A/86B series ICs are
positive regulators designed to provide
1.5A 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 this
product, the dropout voltage is fully
specified as a function of load current.
Dropout is guaranteed at a maximum of
1.3V (LX8386A/86B) and 1.5V (LX8386)
at maximum output current, decreasing
at lower load currents. On-chip
trimming adjusts the reference voltage
to 1% (0.8% for the 8386B) initial
accuracy and 2% (1% for the 8386B)
over line, load and temperature.

PRODUCT HIGHLIGHT
are pin-compatible with earlier 3terminal regulators, such as 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 LX8386/86A/86B series quiescent
current flows into the load, increasing
efficiency. This feature contrasts with
PNP regulators, where up to 10% of the
output current is wasted as quiescent
current. The LX8386-xxI is specified
over the full industrial temperature
range of -25°C to +125°C and the
LX8386/86A/86B-xxC 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.
Note 4. See Maximum Output Current Section above.
