Output Current of 1.25A
Low Dropout Voltage
Low quiescent current
Extremely Tight Load & Line Regulation
Reverse-battery and “Load Dump” Protection
Zero Current Shutdown Mode (5-pin version)
Offer in TO-263, TO-252, TO-220, SOT-223, &
New Slim LPDD
The LM3940 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.
•
Similar to industry Standard LM3940
The LM3940 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%.
