FEATURES
DESCRIPTION
The LM2991 is a low dropout adjustable negative
regulator with a output voltage range between −2V to
−25V. The LM2991 provides up to 1A of load current
and features a On /Off pin for remote shutdown
capability.

Output Voltage Adjustable From −2V to −25V
Output Current in Excess of 1A
Dropout Voltage Typically 0.6V at 1A Load
Low Quiescent Current
Internal Short Circuit Current Limit
Internal Thermal Shutdown with Hysteresis
TTL, CMOS Compatible ON/OFF Switch
Functional Complement to the LM2941 Series
The LM2991 uses new circuit design techniques to
provide a low dropout voltage, low quiescent current
and low temperature coefficient precision reference.
The dropout voltage at 1A load current is typically
0.6V and a ensured worst-case maximum of 1V over
the entire operating temperature range. The
quiescent current is typically 1 mA with a 1A load
current and an input-output voltage differential greater
than 3V. A unique circuit design of the internal bias
supply limits the quiescent current to only 9 mA
(typical) when the regulator is in the dropout mode
(VO − VI ≤ 3V).
APPLICATIONS

•
Post Switcher Regulator
Local, On-card, Regulation
Battery Operated Equipment
The LM2991 is short-circuit proof, and thermal
shutdown includes hysteresis to enhance the
reliability of the device when inadvertently overloaded
for extended periods.
