Product details

LM3480IM3X-12: 12-V, 100-mA Quasi Low-Dropout Voltage Regulator (Texas Instruments)
The LM3480IM3X-12 from Texas Instruments is a compact, integrated linear voltage regulator designed to supply a fixed 12-V output at up to 100 mA. With its quasi-low-dropout performance, wide 30-V maximum input range, and tiny SOT-23 package, the device is ideal for bias generation, post-regulation, and compact analog or mixed-signal systems requiring reliable fixed-voltage rails.

Product Introduction

The LM3480IM3X-12 is part of TI's LM3480 family of quasi-low-dropout regulators. It provides a fixed 12-V output with ±5% regulation accuracy and supports input voltages up to 30 V, making it suitable for systems that derive supply rails from higher DC voltages or unregulated adapters.

At a full 100-mA load, the regulator ensures a typical dropout voltage of approximately 1.2 V, enabling efficient regulation from moderately low supply rails. Its −40 °C to +125 °C junction temperature capability supports industrial environments, automotive accessory modules, field instrumentation and power conditioning circuits.

The LM3480IM3X-12 is packaged in a space-saving SOT-23 (3-pin) format and is supplied in TI's tape-and-reel "IM3X" variant for automated high-volume SMT assembly. Combined with low quiescent current and a simple external component requirement, the device is an excellent choice where clean, compact linear regulation is required.

Key Benefits

Wide Input Voltage Range

Supports inputs up to 30 V, enabling reliable operation from unregulated supplies or higher-voltage DC rails typically found in industrial and communication equipment.

Compact SOT-23 Footprint

The tiny 3-lead SOT-23 package minimizes board space and is ideal for handheld, wearable, or dense PCB layouts where space efficiency is critical.

Stable, Fixed 12-V Output

Provides a clean, regulated 12-V rail with ±5% tolerance, suitable for powering analog sensors, bias networks, interface circuits and post-converter stages.

Industrial-Grade Reliability

Rated for −40 °C to +125 °C operation, ensuring dependable performance in harsh or thermally constrained environments.

Technical Features

1.2-V Dropout (at 100 mA)

The quasi-low-dropout architecture enables regulation even when the input rail falls only slightly above the regulated output voltage.

100-mA Output Current

Capable of driving moderate-power analog circuits, reference modules, logic rails or small communication interfaces.

High Input Voltage Immunity

With a 30-V max rating, the device handles noisy or unstable upstream supplies and is suitable for automotive, telecom and field electronics.
