General Description
The Supertex LR8 is a high voltage, low output current,
adjustable linear regulator. It has a wide operating input voltage
range of 13.2 - 450V. The output voltage can be adjusted from
1.20 - 440V provided that the input voltage is at least 12V
greater than the output voltage. The output voltage can be
adjusted by means of two external resistors R1 and R2 as
shown in the typical application circuits. The LR8 regulates the
voltage difference between VOUT and ADJ pins to a nominal
value of 1.20V. The 1.20V is amplified by the external resistor
ratio R1 and R2. An internal constant bias current of typically
10µA is connected to the ADJ pin. This increases V
OUT
by a
constant voltage of 10µA times R2.
The LR8 has current limiting and temperature limiting. The
output current limit is typically 20mA and the minimum
temperature limit is 125°C. An output short circuit current will
therefore be limited to 20mA. When the junction temperature
reaches its temperature limit, the output current and/or output
voltage will decrease to keep the junction temperature from
exceeding its temperature limit. For SMPS start-up circuit
applications, the LR8 turns off when an external voltage
greater than the output voltage of the LR8 is applied to VOUT
of the LR8. To maintain stability, a bypass capacitor of 1.0µF
or larger and a minimum DC output current of 500µA are
required.
The device is available in TO-243AA (SOT-89), TO-252 (D-
PAK), and TO-92 packages.

Stresses beyond those listed under “Absolute Maximum Ratings” may cause permanent
damage to the device. These are stress ratings only, and functional operation of the
device at these or any other conditions beyond those indicated in the operational sections
of the specifications is not implied. Exposure to absolute maximum rating conditions for
extended periods may affect device reliability.
