LP3869x/-Q1 500-mA Low-Dropout CMOS Linear Regulators
Stable With Ceramic Output Capacitors
1 Features 3 Description
The LP3869x low-dropout CMOS linear regulators
1 Wide Input Voltage Range (2.7 V to 10 V) provide tight output tolerance (2% typical), extremely
All WSON Options are Available as AEC-Q100 low dropout voltage (250 mV at 500-mA load current,
Grade 1 VOUT = 5 V), and excellent AC performance using
2% Output Accuracy (25°C) ultralow equivalent series resistance (ESR) ceramic
output capacitors.
Low Dropout Voltage: 250 mV at 500 mA (Typical,
5 V Out) The low thermal resistance of the WSON, SOT-223,
and TO-252 packages allow use of the full operating
Precision (Trimmed) Bandgap Reference current even in high ambient temperature
Ensured Specifications for –40°C to 125°C environments.
1-µA Off-State Quiescent Current The use of a PMOS power transistor means that no
Thermal Overload Protection DC base-drive current is required to bias it, thus
Foldback Current Limiting allowing ground pin current to remain below 100 µA
Ground Pin Current: 55 µA (typical) at full load regardless of load current, input voltage, or operating
temperature.

Pin Functions
PIN I/O DESCRIPTION
TO- SOT-
NAME WSON
252 223
WSON Only - The DAP (Exposed Pad) functions as a thermal connection when
DAP soldered to a copper plane. See WSON Mounting section for more information.
The EN pin allows the part to be turned ON and OFF by pulling this pin high or
EN 3 1 I low.
Circuit ground for the regulator. For the TO-252 and SOT-223 packages this is
GND TAB 2 2 5 thermally connected to the die and functions as a heat sink when the soldered
down to a large copper plane.
This is the input supply voltage to the regulator. For WSON devices, both IN
IN 3 1, 6 1, 6 4 I pins must be tied together for full current operation (250 mA maximum per pin).
OUT 1 4 4 3 O Regulated output voltage
WSON Only - Output SNS pin allows remote sensing at the load which eliminate
SNS 5 5 I the error in output voltage due to voltage drops caused by the resistance in the
traces between the regulator and the load. This pin must be tied to OUT.

7.1 Absolute Maximum Ratings(1)(2)
MIN MAX UNIT
Lead temp. (Soldering, 5 seconds) 260 °C
Power dissipation(3) Internally Limited V
V(max) All pins (with respect to GND) –0.3 12 V
IOUT(4) Internally Limited V
Junction temperature –40 150 °C
Storage temperature, Tstg 65 150
(1) Absolute maximum ratings indicate limits beyond which damage to the component may occur. Operating ratings indicate conditions for
which the device is intended to be functional, but do not ensure specific performance limits. For ensured specifications, see Electrical
Characteristics. Specifications do not apply when operating the device outside of its rated operating conditions.
(2) If Military/Aerospace specified devices are required, contact the Texas Instruments Sales Office/ Distributors for availability and
specifications.
(3) At elevated temperatures, device power dissipation must be derated based on package thermal resistance and heatsink values (if a
heatsink is used). When using the WSON package, refer to AN-1187 Leadless Leadframe Package (LLP),SNOA401, and the WSON
Mounting section in this datasheet. If power dissipation causes the junction temperature to exceed specified limits, the device goes into
thermal shutdown.
(4) If used in a dual-supply system where the regulator load is returned to a negative supply, the output pin must be diode clamped to
ground.

(1) Typical numbers represent the most likely parametric norm for 25°C operation.
(2) Output voltage line regulation is defined as the change in output voltage from nominal value resulting from a change in input voltage.
(3) Output voltage load regulation is defined as the change in output voltage from nominal value as the load current increases from 1 mA to
full load.
(4) Dropout voltage is defined as the minimum input to output differential required to maintain the output within 100 mV of nominal value.
