LP2954/LP2954A
5V and Adjustable Micropower Low-Dropout Voltage
Regulators
General Description
The LP2954 is a 5V micropower voltage regulator with very
low quiescent current (90 µA typical at 1 mA load) and very
low dropout voltage (typically 60 mV at light loads and
470 mV at 250 mA load current).
The quiescent current increases only slightly at dropout
(120 µA typical), which prolongs battery life.
The LP2954 with a fixed 5V output is available in the
three-lead TO-220 and TO-263 packages. The adjustable
LP2954 is provided in an 8-lead surface mount, small outline
package. The adjustable version also provides a resistor net-
work which can be pin strapped to set the output to 5V.
Reverse battery protection is provided.
The tight line and load regulation (0.04% typical), as well as
very low output temperature coefficient make the LP2954
well suited for use as a low-power voltage reference.
Output accuracy is guaranteed at both room temperature
and over the entire operating temperature range.
