XRP29300/01/02
3A Low Dropout Voltage Regulator
May 2011
Rev. 2.1.0
GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The XRP29300/01/02 are 3A, highly accurate
voltage regulators with a low dropout voltage
of 600mV (typical) at 3A.
These regulators are specifically designed for
low voltage applications that require a low
dropout voltage and a fast transient response.
They are fully fault protected against over-
current, reverse battery, and positive and
negative voltage transients. On-Chip trimming
adjusts the reference voltage to 1% initial
accuracy.
The XRP29300 is offered in a 3-pin TO-263
package, the XRP29301 is offered in a 5-pin
TO-263 while XRP29302 is offered in a 5-pin
TO-263 and 5-pin TO-220 packages.

Note 2: Full load current (I

) when the output voltage drops to 99% of its nominal value.
Note 4: V

OUT
(nom)+1V. Use pulse-testing procedures to minimize temperature rise.
Note 5: Ground pin current is the regulator quiescent current. The total current drawn from the source is the sum of the
load current to the ground current.
Note 6: Output voltage temperature coefficient is defined as the worst case voltage change divided by the total temperature
range
Note 7: Thermal regulation is defined as the change in output voltage at time T after a change in power dissipation is
applied, excluding load/line regulation effects. Specifications for a 200mA load pulse as V
IN
=20V (a 4W pulse) for t=10ms.
Note 8: Comparator threshold is expressed in terms of a voltage differential at the Adjust terminal below the nominal
reference voltage measured 6V input. To express these thresholds in terms of output voltage change, multiply the error
amplifier gain = V
OUT
/V
REF
= (R1 + R2)/R2. For example, at a programmable output voltage of 5V, the Error output is
guaranteed to go low when the output drops by 95mVx 5V/ 1.240V = 383mV. Threshold remain constant as a percent of
V
OUT
as V

is varied, with the dropout warning occurring at typically 5% below nominal, 7.7% guaranteed.
