Description
The LM2931xx are very low drop regulators. The
very low drop voltage and the low quiescent
current make them particular suitable for low
noise, low power applications and in battery
powered systems. In the 8 pin configuration (SO-
8), fully compatible to the older L78Lxx family, a
shut down logic control function is available.
This means that when the device is used as a
local regulator is possible to put a part of the

board in stand-by decreasing the total power
consumption. Ideal for automotive application the
LM2931xx is protected from reverse battery
installations or 2 battery jumps. During the
transient, such as a a load dump (60 V) when the
input voltage can exceed the specified maximum
operating input voltage (26 V), the regulator will
automatically shut down to protect both internal
circuit and the load.
