It uses an external N-CHANNEL POWER MOSFET as the linear pass element. The LPR30 features a dropout voltage as low as the RDS(on) of the BLOCK DIAGRAM 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 limited when the controller detects 50mV across an external sense resistor. It has an internal high precision (± 2%) Voltage Reference at 2.5V The output regulated voltage is possible to program to any voltage from 1V to more than 50V. Flexible design is achieved by the availability of the Voltage Reference Output through an external pin (N.4) that is able to supply more than 20mA as load current. The LPR30 is available in 8 pin plastic DIP and in SO-8 for SMD. In both o package versions it is able to operate from 0 C to o 70 C.
