GENERAL DESCRIPTION

The ADP3338 is a member of the ADP33xx family of precision, low dropout (LDO), anyCAP voltage regulators. The ADP3338 operates with an input voltage range of 2.7V to 8V and delivers a load current up to 1A. The ADP3338 stands out from conventional LDOs with a novel architecture and an enhanced process that offers performance advantages and higher output current than its competition. Its patented design requires only a 1µF output capacitor for stability.
