Frequently Asked Questions
What is the output voltage range of the LP38852S-ADJ?
The LP38852S-ADJ supports an adjustable output voltage range, typically set by two external resistors connected to the ADJ pin. The output can be programmed from approximately 1.22V up to the input voltage minus the dropout voltage, making it highly flexible for various power supply designs.
What is the maximum output current of the LP38852S-ADJ?
The LP38852S-ADJ can supply a maximum continuous output current of 500mA. This makes it suitable for powering microcontrollers, sensors, FPGAs at low power, wireless modules, and other low-to-medium current loads in portable and industrial applications.
What is the dropout voltage of the LP38852S-ADJ?
The LP38852S-ADJ has a typical dropout voltage of approximately 500mV at full load (500mA). This low dropout characteristic allows the regulator to maintain a stable output even when the input voltage is only slightly higher than the output, which is ideal for battery-powered systems.
What package does the LP38852S-ADJ come in?
The LP38852S-ADJ is available in the SOT-223 surface-mount package. This package includes an exposed metal tab that provides excellent thermal dissipation, helping the device operate reliably at higher load currents without excessive heating.
Where can I buy the LP38852S-ADJ and what is the price?
The LP38852S-ADJ is available through FindMyChip and major electronic component distributors worldwide. Pricing starts from approximately $1.72 per unit, with volume discounts available. The part is in stock and supports worldwide shipping for fast delivery.
