High output accuracy of 1%
Output Adjustable from 1.24V to 26V
Output Current of 1.25A
Low Dropout Voltage
Low quiescent current
The LM2940/41 is designed for low voltage a application that
requires lower dropout voltage and faster transient response. This
device is an excellent choice for use in powering low voltage
applications where require a lower dropout, faster transient response
to regulate from +2.5V to 3.8V supplies and as a post regulator for
switching supplies applications.
Extremely Tight Load & Line Regulation
Reverse-battery and “Load Dump” Protection
Zero Current Shutdown Mode (5-pin version)
Offer in TO-263, TO-220, SOT-223, & New Slim

Similar to industry Standard MIC2940LM2941
The LM2940/41 offers full protection against over-current faults,
reversed input polarity, reversed load insertion, and positive and
negative transient voltage. On-Chip trimming adjusts the reference
voltage to 1%. The LM2940-xx devices are in 3 pin fixed voltage
regulators. The LM2941 include an Enable pin in the 5 pin
