L4808-L4810-L4812
L4800series devicesare voltageregulatorswitha
verylowvoltagedrop(typically0.4Vatfullratedcurrent), output current up to 400mA, low quiescent
currentandcomprehensiveon-chipprotection.These devices are protected against load dump and
fielddecaytransientsof± 60V,polarityreversaland
overheating. A foldback current limiter protects
against load short circuits. Available in 5V, 8.5V,
9.2V,10Vand12Vversions(all±4%,T

Theoutputcapacitorisrequiredforstability. Though
the 100 µF shown is the minimum recommended
value, actual size and type may vary dep ending
upon the application load and temperaturerange.
Capacitoreffectiveseriesresistance(ESR)alsofactors in theIC stability.Since ESR varies from one

Capacitors mustalsoberatedat allambienttemperatureexpected inthesystem.Manyaluminumtype
electrolyticswill freezeat temperatures less than –
30 °C, reducing their effectivecapacitanceto zero.
To maintainregulatorstabilitydown to –40 °C, capacitors rated at that temperature (such as tantalums)must be used.
