LP2982AIBPX-2.8

Linear voltage regulators are important pieces of equipment used to control the voltage levels for electronic components. One of these is the LP2982AIBPX-2.8. It is a low power low drop-out (LDO) linear voltage regulator from Texas Instruments and is available in an easy to solder three-pin TO-220 package.

LP2982AIBPX-2.8 is most commonly used in applications requiring stringent low power dissipation and cost effectiveness. It provides a great solution for low voltage applications such as cameras, wearables, battery-backed systems, USB-powered equipment, digital audio, mobile devices and automotive applications. Its major features include an input voltage up to 26V, adjustable output voltage from 0.8V to 2.8V, low quiescent current, low dropout voltage and low ground current.

The LP2982AIBPX-2.8 voltage regulator works on the principle of negative feedback. This circuit uses an error amplifier to affect the output of the regulator in response to changes in the output voltage. It contains an internal pass element, which can be either a transistor or MOSFET, that regulates a precise amount of current. The feedback loop helps in maintaining the output voltage and sets it at a level that is desired. The voltage regulator has a pair of comparators connected to it, which ensures the output voltage is within proper limits. It also includes short-circuit protection to protect the system from current surges.

The LP2982AIBPX-2.8 is an excellent choice for controlling the voltage levels in low power applications. It can operate at a wide range of input voltages and supply an adjustable output which can be set to the desired voltage level with just three external components. This voltage regulator is extremely efficient and provide excellent protection against current surges, ensuring the optimal performance of the system.
