LPR30 Datasheet LOW DROP VOLTAGE REGULATOR DRIVE FOR EXTERNAL N-CHANNEL POWER MOSFET

Manufacturer: STMicroelectronics

General Description

The LPR30 is a very Low Dropout Regulator Controller in a single IC solution for very high current low dropout linear voltgage regulator.

It uses an external N-CHANNEL POWER MOSFET as the linear pass element.

Key Features

  • a dropout voltage as low as the RDS(on) of the May 2000 1/10 LPR30 external Power MOSFET multiplied by the output current. Consequently the output current can be as high as the POWER MOSFET can provide (also using an adeguate heatsink). The V CC of the LPR30 range from 5V to 30V. For very low drop voltage operation,the LPR30 requires an external gate drive supply to provide the control voltage needed to drive the gate of the external POWER MOSFET. The regulator output is constant-current limi.
