Features 2.25V to 5.5V Input Voltage Range 1.8V Fixed Output Voltage 1.5A Output Load Current ±2.5% Accuracy over Line, Load, and Full-Temperature Range from -40°C to +125°C Stable with tiny 10 µF ceramic capacitors 0.20% Output Voltage Load Regulation from 10 mA to 1.5A Enable pin ^Error Flag Indicates Status of Output Voltage 1uA of Quiescent current in Shutdown 40dB of PSRR at 100 kHz Over-Temperature and Over-Current Protection TO-263 and TO-263 THIN Surface Mount Packages Description The LP38512-1.8 Fast-Transient Response Low-Dropout Voltage Regulator offers the highest-performance in meeting AC and DC accuracy requirements for powering Digital Cores. The LP38512-1.8 uses a proprietary control loop that enables extremely fast response to change in line conditions and load demands. Output Voltage DC accuracy is guaranteed at 2.5% over line, load and full temperature range from -40°C to +125°C. The LP38512-1.8 is designed for inputs from the 2.5V, 3.3V, and 5.0V rail, is stable with 10 μF ceramic capacitors, and has a fixed 1.8V output. An Error Flag feature monitors the output voltage and notifies the system processor when the output voltage falls more than 15% below the nominal value. The LP38512-1.8 provides excellent transient performance to meet the demand of high performance digital core ASICs, DSPs, and FPGAs found in highly-intensive applications such as servers, routers/switches, and base stations.

Note: The Early Failure Rates (EFR) were calculated as point estimate PPM based on rejects and sample size for EFR. The Long Term Failure Rates were calculated at 60% confidence using the Arrhenius equation at 0.7eV activation energy and derating the assumed stress temperature of 150°C to an application temperature of 55°C.
