UNISONIC TECHNOLOGIES CO., LTD LR18230 Preliminary CMOS IC 3A ULTRA LOW DROPOUT LINEAR REGULATOR DESCRIPTION The UTC LR18230 series of high performance ultra-low dropout linear regulators operates from 2.5V to 6V input supply and provides ultra-low dropout voltage, high output current with low ground current. These ultra-low dropout linear regulators respond fast to step changes in load which makes them suitable for low voltage micro-processor applications. The UTC LR18230 is CMOS-based positive voltage and a very low dropout regulator IC which allows low quiescent current operation independent of output load current. This CMOS process also allows the UTC LR18230 to operate under extremely low dropout conditions. HSOP-8 FEATURES * 400mV Dropout @ 3A, VO=2.5V * Compatible with low ESR MLCC as Input/Output Capacitor * Good Line and Load Regulation * Guaranteed Output Current of 3A * Available in HSOP-8 Package * Over-Temperature/Over-Current Protection ORDERING INFORMATION Ordering Number LR18230G-xx-S08-R www.unisonic.com.tw Copyright © 2015 Unisonic Technologies Co., Ltd Package HSOP-8 Packing Tape Reel 1 of 4 QW-R102-074.a LR18230 MARKING INFORMATION PACKAGE VOLTAGE CODE HSOP-8 AD: ADJ MARKING PIN CONFIGURATION NC 1 8 GND EN 2 7 ADJ VIN 3 6 VOUT NC 4 5 NC PIN DESCRIPTION PIN NO. 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 CMOS IC PIN NAME N.C EN VIN N.C N.C VOUT ADJ GND DESCRIPTION No connect Chip Enable Pin Input Supply Voltage Pin.

The minimum operating value for input voltage is equal to either (VOUT, NOM+VDROP) or 2.5V, whichever is greater. 2. Regulation is measured at constant junction temperature by using a 10ms current pulse. Devices are tested for load regulation in the load range from 10mA to 3A. 3. Dropout voltage is defined as the minimum input to output differential voltage at which the output drops 2% below the nominal value. Dropout voltage specification applies only to output voltages of 2.5V and above. For output voltages below 2.5V, the dropout voltage is nothing but the input to output differential, since the minimum input voltage is 2.5V.
