Application information

The LD39050 is an ultra low-dropout linear regulator. It provides up to 500 mA with a

200 mV dropout. The input voltage range is from 1.5 V to 5.5 V. The device is available in

fixed and adjustable output versions.

The regulator is equipped with internal protection circuitry, such as short-circuit current

limiting and thermal protection.

The regulator is designed to be stable with ceramic capacitors on the input and the output.

The recommended values of the input and output ceramic capacitors are from 1 µF to 22 µF

terminal. The output capacitor must also be connected within 0.5 inches of output pin. There

is no upper limit to the value of the input capacitor.
