Electrical Characteristics (Continued)
Note 1: Absolute maximum ratings indicate limits beyond which damage to the component may occur. Electrical specifications do not apply when operating the de-
vice outside of its rated operating conditions.
Note 2: The ESD rating of pins 3 and 4 is 1 kV.
Note 3: The maximum allowable power dissipation is a function of the maximum junction temperature, TJ(MAX), the junction-to-ambient thermal resistance, θJ-A, and
the ambient temperature, TA. The maximum allowable power dissipation at any ambient temperature is calculated using:
The value of θJ-A for the SOT-23 package is 300˚C/W. Exceeding the maximum allowable power dissipation will cause excessive die temperature, and the regulator
will go into thermal shutdown.
Note 4: If used in a dual-supply system where the regulator load is returned to a negative supply, the LP2980-ADJ output must be diode-clamped to ground.
Note 5: The output PNP structure contains a diode between the VIN and VOUT terminals that is normally reverse-biased. Reversing the polarity from VIN to VOUT
will turn on this diode (see Application Hints).
Note 6: Limits are 100% production tested at 25˚C. Limits over the operating temperature range are guaranteed through correlation using Statistical Quality Control
(SQC) methods. The limits are used to calculate National’s Average Outgoing Quality Level (AOQL).
Note 7: Dropout voltage is defined as the input to output differential at which the output voltage drops 100 mV below the value measured with a 1V differential.
Note 8: The ON/OFF input must be properly driven to prevent possible misoperation. For details, refer to Application Hints.
Note 9: See Typical Performance Characteristics curves.
Typical Performance Characteristics Unless otherwise specified: TA = 25˚C, VIN = VO(NOM) + 1V,
IL = 1 mA, ON/OFF pin tied to VIN, RADJ = 86.6k, and test circuit is as shown in Basic Application Circuit.
