Adjustable Low Dropout Regulator
PRELIMINARY DATA SHEET
ELECTRICAL CHARACTERISTICS
Unless otherwise specified, the following specifications apply over the operating ambient temperature of 0°C to 125°C for the LX8941CP;
VIN = 10V, IO = 1A, COUT = 22µF and are for DC characteristics only. Low duty cycle pulse testing techniques are used which maintain
junction and case temperatures equal to the ambient temperature. Note 3: The output voltage range is 4 to 25V and is determined by the
two external resistor, R1 and R2. See Product Highlight.
