Figure 28. The LM4050 as a power supply
The minimum resistor value in the circuit of Figure 28 must be chosen such that the maximum current through
the LM4050 does not exceed its 15 mA rating. The conditions for maximum current include the input voltage at
its maximum, the LM4050 voltage at its minimum, and the DAC081C081 drawing zero current. The maximum
resistor value must allow the LM4050 to draw more than its minimum current for regulation plus the maximum
DAC081C081 current in full operation. The conditions for minimum current include the input voltage at its
minimum, the LM4050 voltage at its maximum, the resistor value at its maximum due to tolerance, and the
DAC081C081 draws its maximum current. These conditions can be summarized as

LP3985
The LP3985 is a low noise, ultra low dropout voltage regulator with a 3% accuracy over temperature. It is a good
choice for applications that do not require a precision reference for the DAC081C081. It comes in 3.0V, 3.3V and
5V versions, among others, and sports a low 30 µV noise specification at low frequencies. Since low frequency
noise is relatively difficult to filter, this specification could be important for some applications. The LP3985 comes
in a space-saving 5-pin SOT-23 and 5-bump DSBGA packages.
Figure 29. Using the LP3985 regulator
An input capacitance of 1.0µF without any ESR requirement is required at the LP3985 input, while a 1.0µF
ceramic capacitor with an ESR requirement of 5mΩ to 500mΩ is required at the output. Careful interpretation
and understanding of the capacitor specification is required to ensure correct device operation.
LP2980
The LP2980 is an ultra low dropout regulator with a 0.5% or 1.0% accuracy over temperature, depending upon
grade. It is available in 3.0V, 3.3V and 5V versions, among others.
