LM3480 100 mA, SOT-23, Quasi Low-Dropout Linear Voltage Regulator
June 1999
LM3480 100 mA, SOT-23, Quasi Low-Dropout Linear Voltage Regulator
General Description
The LM3480 is an integrated linear voltage regulator. It features operation from an input as high as 30V and a guaranteed maximum dropout of 1.2V at the full 100 mA load. Standard packaging for the LM3480 is the 3-lead SuperSOT ® package. The 5, 12, and 15V members of the LM3480 series are intended as tiny alternatives to industry standard LM78LXX series and similar devices. The 1.2V quasi low dropout of LM3480 series devices makes them a nice fit in many applications where the 2 to 2.5V dropout of LM78LXX series devices precludes their (LM78LXX series devices) use. The LM3480 series features a 3.3V member.
