DESCRIPTION
KEY FEATURES
W W W.
Microsemi
.COM
The LX8816 is a dual channel
positive-voltage linear regulator. This
dual regulator has one fixed output
coupled with an adjustable output.
Each channel features low-dropout
and high accuracy.
The LX8816 provides designers
with a flexible power management
solution, minimal printed circuit board
area and shorter design cycles.
Each channel can supply up to one
amp independently with a regulator
design optimized for system efficiency
by consuming minimal ground current
and directing quiescent current to the
load.
The LX8816 features on-chip
trimming of the internal voltage
enabling precise output voltages,
typically
±1%
of it’s specified value,
while the BiPolar output transistor has a
low dropout voltage even at full output
current (V
DO
< 1.2V typ. @ 1A).
Thermal and Short Circuit Current
Protection are integrated on-chip and
operate independently for each regulator
output.
The LX8816 regulator is stable with a
low-value output capacitor, typically
2.2µF on the outputs, allowing designers
flexibility in external component
selection.
Linfinity’s S-PAK power package
enables maximum power dissipation and
ease of assembly using surface mount
technology.

ESCRIPTION
Positive unregulated supply input for the regulator. Bypass to GND with at least 2.2µF of low ESR and ESL
capacitance.
Adjustable Input

The output voltage can be set by two external resistors with the following relationship: V
1
= V
REF
* (1 + R1 / R2) + I
ADJ
* R1 where R1 is the resistor connected between V
1
and ADJ, and R2 is the resistor
connected between ADJ and GND..
Common terminal for ground reference.
The input and output bypass capacitors should be connected to this
pin. In addition the tab on the S-Pak package and pin 3 are also used for heat sinking the device.
Adjustable regulator output (Regulator #1) It is recommended to bypass to GND with at least 1uF. Size your
output capacitor to meet the transient loading requirement. If you have a very dynamic load, a lower ESR
capacitor will improve the response to these load steps.
Fixed regulator output (Regulator #2) 1 It is recommended to bypass to GND with at least 1µF. Size your output
capacitor to meet the transient loading requirement. For dynamic loads, a lower ESR capacitor will improve the
response to these load steps.
