FEATURES
DESCRIPTION
The LP2957 is a 5V micropower voltage regulator
with electronic shutdown, error flag, very low
quiescent current (150 µA typical at 1 mA load), and
very low dropout voltage (470 mV typical at 250 mA
load current).

•
5V Output within 1.4% Over Temperature (A
Grade)
•
Easily Programmed for Snap-On/Snap-Off
Output
•
•
•
Ensured 250 mA Output Current
Extremely Low Quiescent Current
Output can be wired for snap-on/snap-off operation to
eliminate transition voltage states where µP operation
may be unpredictable.
Low Input-Output Voltage Required for
Regulation
Output crowbar (50 mA typical pull-down current) will
bring down the output quickly when the regulator
snaps off or when the shutdown function is activated.

Reverse Battery Protection
Extremely Tight Line and Load Regulation
Very Low Temperature Coefficient
Current and Thermal Limiting
The part has tight line and load regulation (0.04%
typical) and low output temperature coefficient (20
ppm/°C typical).
Error Flag Signals when Output is out of
Regulation
The accuracy of the 5V output is ensured at room
temperature and over the full operating temperature
range.
APPLICATIONS
The LP2957 is available in the five-lead TO-220 and
DDPAK/TO-263 packages.

These devices have limited built-in ESD protection. The leads should be shorted together or the device placed in conductive foam
during storage or handling to prevent electrostatic damage to the MOS gates.
