The Bold specifications apply to the full operating temperature range.
Note 1: Maximum positive supply voltage of 60V must be of limited duration (<100msec) and duty cycle.) The maximum continuous supply voltage is 26V.
Note 2: Full load current (I

) is defined as 1.25A for the LM2941.
Note 3: Dropout voltage is defined as the input-to output differential when the output voltage drops to 99% of its nominal value with V

+1V. For example, use V
IN
= 4.3V for a 3.3V regulator. Employ pulse-testing procedures to minimize temperature rise.
Note 5: Ground pin current is the regulator quiescent current. The total current drawn from the source is the sum of the load current to the ground current.
Note 6: Output voltage temperature coefficient is defined as the worst case voltage changed divided by the total temperature range.
Note 7: Thermal regulation is defined as the change in the output voltage at a time T after a change in power dissipation is applied, excluding load or line regulation
effects. Specifications are for a 200mA load pulse as V
IN
= 20V (a 4W pulse) for T = 10ms.

Note 9: Comparator threshold is expressed in terms of a voltage differential at the Adjust terminal below the nominal reference voltage measured 6V input. To express
these thresholds in terms of output voltage change, multiply the error amplifier gain = V

Preliminary Information-
These data sheets contain minimum and maximum specifications that are based on the initial device characterizations. These limits are subject to change upon the
completion of the full characterization over the specified temperature and supply voltage ranges.
