LM2940/2941
Description
The Bay Linear LM2940 & LM2941 is a 1.25A high accuracy, low
dropout voltage regulator with only 40mV at light loads and
350mV(Typ.)@ 1.0A) and low quiescent current of 240µA typical.
The LM2940/41 is designed for low voltage a application that
requires lower dropout voltage and faster transient response. This
device is an excellent choice for use in powering low voltage
applications where require a lower dropout, faster transient response
to regulate from +2.5V to 3.8V supplies and as a post regulator for
switching supplies applications.
The LM2940/41 offers full protection against over-current faults,
reversed input polarity, reversed load insertion, and positive and
negative transient voltage. On-Chip trimming adjusts the reference
voltage to 1%. The LM2940-xx devices are in 3 pin fixed voltage
regulators. The LM2941 include an Enable pin in the 5 pin
packages.
The LM2940/41 are offered in a 3 & 5-pin SOT-223, TO-220 &
TO-263 package compatible with other 3 terminal regulators. The
LM2940/41 is also offer in a new LPDD (Low Profile TO-263)
package from 4.47 mm (DD) tickness down to only 1.27 mm
