The LX8415 series ICs are positive Low
Dropout (LDO) regulators. At the designed maximum load current, the
LX8415 series dropout voltage is guaranteed to be 1.3V or lower at 0.5A. The
dropout voltage decreases with load
current.
The LX8415 is available in an adjustable output voltage version and fixed
output versions of 2.5V and 3.3V. Onchip trimming of the internal voltage
reference allows specification of the
initial output voltage to within ±1% of
its nominal value. The output currentlimit point is also trimmed, which helps

PRODUCT HIGHLIGHT
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 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 LX8415 typically requires
at least 10µF of output capacitance for
stable operation.
The LX8415 is available in the lowprofile plastic SOT-223 package for applications where space is at a premium.

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.
