The P3596L-ADJ is an adjustable output low dropout (LDO) linear regulator manufactured by UTC (Unisonic Technologies Co., Ltd.). It is designed to provide a stable and adjustable output voltage with a minimal input-output voltage difference. This makes it suitable for a wide range of applications, including battery-powered devices, post-regulation for switching power supplies, and powering microcontrollers, where flexibility in output voltage is required.
Applications:
- Battery-Powered Devices
- Post-Regulation for Switching Power Supplies
- Microcontroller Power Supplies
- Adjustable Power Supplies
- Portable Electronics
Features:
- Adjustable Output Voltage
- Low Dropout Voltage
- Low Quiescent Current

Specifications:
The P3596L-ADJ features an adjustable output voltage, typically ranging from a minimum voltage close to the reference voltage up to the maximum input voltage limit. It includes over-current, over-temperature, and short-circuit protection. It is stable with ceramic output capacitors. Specific values like input voltage range, dropout voltage at different load currents, quiescent current, and thermal shutdown temperature can be found in the UTC datasheet. Consult the official UTC datasheet for detailed electrical characteristics, thermal performance, and application guidelines. This includes the feedback resistor selection for setting the desired output voltage, line and load regulation specifications, ripple rejection, transient response, and thermal resistance values. The datasheet also specifies recommended external components and PCB layout considerations for optimal performance and stability.
