The LM3480IM3-12/NOPB is an Integrated Linear Voltage Regulator features operation from an input as high as 30V and an ensured maximum dropout of 1.2V at the full 100mA load. The 5, 12 and 15V members of the LM3480 series are intended as tiny alternatives to industry standard LM78Lxx series and similar devices. The 1.2V quasi-low dropout of LM3480 series devices makes them a nice fit in many applications where the 2 to 2.5V dropout of LM78Lxx series devices precludes their (LM78Lxx series devices) use. The LM3480 series also features a 3.3V member. The quasi-low dropout features of the LM3480 series converge in this device to provide a very nice, very tiny, 3.3V, 100mA bias supply that regulates directly off the system 5V ±5% power supply.
1.2V Ensured maximum dropout over full load and temperature ranges
100mA Ensured minimum load current
±5% Ensured output voltage tolerance over full load and temperature ranges
