LR645
General Description
The Supertex LR6 is a high input voltage, low output current
linear regulator. It has a 3-terminal fixed output voltage version
available in TO-92, TO-220 and SOT-89 packages as well as an
adjustable voltage version available in 8 pin SOIC package. The
3-terminal version functions like any other low voltage 3-terminal
regulator except it allows the use of much higher input voltages.
When used in a SMPS start-up circuit, it eliminates the need for
large power resistors. In this application, current is drawn from
the high voltage line only during start-up. Only leakage current
flows after start-up thereby reducing the continuous power
dissipation to a few milliwatts.
The adjustable voltage version allows trimming of the output
voltage from 8V to 12V. This version can also be connected to an
external depletion mode MOSFET for increased output current.
When used in conjunction with Supertex depletion mode MOSFET
DN2540N5, up to a 150mA is achieved.

Caution
The LR6 does NOT provide galvanic isolation.
When
operated from an AC line, potentially lethal voltages can be
present on the IC. Adequate means of protecting the end
user from such voltages must be provided by the circuit
developer.
For detailed circuit and application information, please refer
to application note AN-H28.
