Description

The LX8383/LX8383A-xx/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 maximum 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/LX8383A-xx/83B series devices are pin-compatible with earlier 3-terminal regulators, such as the 117 series products.While a 10F output capacitor is required on both input and output of these new devices, this capacitor is generally included in most regulator designs.

The LX8383/LX8383A-xx/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.
