LM2941QML 1A Low Dropout Adjustable Regulator
August 25, 2009
LM2941QML
1A Low Dropout Adjustable Regulator
General Description
The LM2941 positive voltage regulator features the ability to
source 1A of output current with a typical dropout voltage of
0.5V and a maximum of 1V over the entire temperature range.
Furthermore, a quiescent current reduction circuit has been
included which reduces the ground pin current when the dif-
ferential between the input voltage and the output voltage
exceeds approximately 3V. The quiescent current with 1A of
output current and an input-output differential of 5V is there-
fore only 30mA. Higher quiescent currents only exist when the
regulator is in the dropout mode (V
I
− V
O
≤
3V).
Originally designed for vehicular applications, the LM2941
and all regulated circuitry are protected from reverse battery
installations or two-battery jumps. During line transients, such
as load dump when the input voltage can momentarily exceed
the specified maximum operating voltage, the regulator will
automatically shut down to protect both the internal circuits
and the load. Familiar regulator features such as short circuit
and thermal overload protection are also provided.
