DESCRIPTION
The LM2931-N positive voltage regulator features a
very low quiescent current of 1mA or less when
supplying 10mA loads. This unique characteristic and
the extremely low input-output differential required for
proper regulation (0.2V for output currents of 10mA)
make the LM2931-N the ideal regulator for standby
power systems. Applications include memory standby
circuits, CMOS and other low power processor power
supplies as well as systems demanding as much as
100mA of output current.
Designed originally for automotive applications, the
LM2931-N and all regulated circuitry are protected
from reverse battery installations or 2 battery jumps.
During line transients, such as a load dump (60V)
when the input voltage to the regulator can
momentarily exceed the specified maximum
operating voltage, the regulator will automatically shut
down to protect both internal circuits and the load.
The LM2931-N cannot be harmed by temporary
mirror-image insertion. Familiar regulator features
such as short circuit and thermal overload protection
are also provided.
The LM2931-N family includes a fixed 5V output
(±3.8% tolerance for A grade) or an adjustable output
with ON/OFF pin. Both versions are available in a
TO-220 power package, DDPAK/TO-263 surface
mount package, and an 8-lead SOIC package. The
fixed output version is also available in the TO-92
plastic package.
