3.0A LOW DROPOUT LINEAR REGULATOR

DESCRIPTION

The LR3866 is a low-noise, low-dropout linear regulator operated from a 2.5V to 6V input voltage and is guaranteed to deliver 3A output current. Wide range of preset output voltage options are available. Built-in low on-resistance transistor provides low dropout voltage and large output current. The LR3866 is designed and optimized for battery-powered systems to work with low noise. The LR3866 is developed on a CMOS process technology which allows low quiescent current operation independent of output load current. This CMOS process also allows the LR3866 to operate under extremely low dropout conditions.
