DESCRIPTION
The LP2957 is a 5V micropower voltage regulator
with electronic shutdown, error flag, very low
quiescent current (150 µA typical at 1 mA load), and
very low dropout voltage (470 mV typical at 250 mA
load current).
Output can be wired for snap-on/snap-off operation to
eliminate transition voltage states where µP operation
may be unpredictable.
Output crowbar (50 mA typical pull-down current) will
bring down the output quickly when the regulator
snaps off or when the shutdown function is activated.
The part has tight line and load regulation (0.04%
typical) and low output temperature coefficient (20
ppm/°C typical).
The accuracy of the 5V output is ensured at room
temperature and over the full operating temperature
range.
The LP2957 is available in the five-lead TO-220 and
DDPAK/TO-263 packages.

These devices have limited built-in ESD protection. The leads should be shorted together or the device placed in conductive foam
during storage or handling to prevent electrostatic damage to the MOS gates.
