Texas Instruments Voltage Regulators - Linear UCC383T-ADJ

The UCC383T-ADJ is a linear voltage regulator designed for low-dropout applications, capable of delivering up to 3 A of output current. It features an adjustable output voltage, allowing for flexibility in various applications. The device operates with a typical dropout voltage of 0.45 V at 3 A and 50 mV at 10 mA, ensuring efficient performance even with minimal input-output voltage differential. Quiescent current is maintained under 650 ¬µA, which is beneficial for power-sensitive designs. This regulator includes features such as thermal shutdown protection, reverse voltage sensing, and short-circuit power limiting, enhancing its reliability in demanding environments. The UCC383T-ADJ is specified for operation within the temperature range of 0¬8C to 70¬8C and is available in a TO-220 package. Its internal compensation eliminates the need for a minimum output capacitor, simplifying circuit design. Overall, the UCC383T-ADJ is suitable for applications requiring precise voltage regulation with low power dissipation.
