General Description
The LP38512MR-ADJ is an adjustable LDO linear regulator capable of supplying up to 1.5A of output
current, and incorporates an Enable function.

Operation
The input voltage, applied between V
IN
and GND, should be at least 2.25V, or at least 500 mV greater
than V
OUT
, whichever value is larger. The input voltage should be no greater than 5.5V, which is the high
end of the Operating Rating voltage.
