Features:
The OM8508 is a low dropout linear regulator designed
specifically for space applications. Housed in either a 5
pin through hole or 8 lead surface mount package, these
regulators provide high reliability in military/defense ap-
plications. The low dropout voltage of 0.4V @ 3A makes
the part particularly useful for applications requiring low
noise and higher efficiency.
Ultra low dropout voltage of 0.4 volt
significantly reduces power consumption
Low noise, higher efficiency
Remote shutdown permits power
sequencing to be easily implemented
Hermetic MO-078AA (TO-258AA) and 8-
lead flat pack ensure higher reliability

In order to maintain regulation and stability specified additional input and output bulk capacitors are
recommended. Capacitors recommended above should be low ESR tantalums with tolerances of +/-
20% max. Internal to the product are a 4.7uF input capacitor and a 4.7uF output capacitor in parallel with a
0.33uF ceramic capacitor.
Shutdown:
The regulator can be shutdown by applying a voltage >1.6V to pin 4. The regulator will restart
when the SHDN pin is pulled below the shutdown threshold of 1.0V. If remote shutdown is not required,
pin 4 shold be connected to GND to insure a safe “off” state.
