(1) Absolute maximum ratings indicate limits beyond which damage to the component may occur. Electrical specifications do not apply
when operating the device outside of its rated operating conditions.
(2) If Military/Aerospace specified devices are required, please contact the Texas Instruments Sales Office/Distributors for availability and
specifications.
(3) The maximum allowable power dissipation is a function of the maximum junction temperature, T J(MAX), the junction-to-ambient thermal
resistance, θ JA, and the ambient temperature, TA. The maximum allowable power dissipation at any ambient temperature is calculated
using:
Exceeding the maximum allowable power dissipation will result in excessive die temperature, and the regulator
will go into thermal shutdown. The junction-to-ambient thermal resistance of the TO-220 (without heatsink) is 60°C/W and 73°C/W for
the DDPAK/TO-263. If the DDPAK/TO-263 package is used, the thermal resistance can be reduced by increasing the P.C. board copper
area thermally connected to the package: Using 0.5 Square inches of copper area, θ JA is 50°C/W, with 1 square inch of copper area,
θJA is 37°C/W; and with 1.6 or more square inches of copper area, θ JA is 32°C/W. The junction-to-case thermal resistance is 3°C/W. If
an external heatsink is used, the effective junction-to-ambient thermal resistance is the sum of the junction-to-case resistance (3°C/W),
the specified thermal resistance of the heatsink selected, and the thermal resistance of the interface between the heatsink and the
LP2957 (see Application Hints).

(1) When used in dual-supply systems where the regulator load is returned to a negative supply, the output voltage must be diode-clamped
to ground.
(2) Output voltage temperature coefficient is defined as the worst case voltage change divided by the total temperature range.
(3) Regulation is measured at constant junction temperature using low duty cycle pulse testing. Parts are tested separately for load
regulation in the load ranges 0.1 mA–1 mA and 1 mA–250 mA. Changes in output voltage due to heating effects are covered by the
thermal regulation specification.
(4) Dropout voltage is defined as the input to output voltage differential at which the output voltage drops 100 mV below the value
measured with a 1V input to output differential.
