LP38859S-1.2 Evaluation
Board
Introduction
This board is designed to enable the evaluation of the
LP38859 Voltage Regulator. Each board is assembled and
tested in the factory. This evaluation board has the TO-263
5–lead package mounted.
General Description
The LP38859 is a dual-rail LDO linear regulator capable of
supplying up to 3A of output current, and incorporates a
Soft-Start feature.
The device has been designed to work with 10 µF input and
output ceramic capacitors, and 1µF bias capacitors. Foot-
