June 1998
LP2957/LP2957A
5V Low-Dropout Regulator for 碌P Applications
General Description
The LP2957 is a 5V micropower voltage regulator with elec-
tronic shutdown, error flag, very low quiescent current
(150 碌A(chǔ) typical at 1 mA load), and very low dropout voltage
(470 mV typical at 250 mA load current).
Output can be wired for snap-on/snap-off operation to elimi-
nate transition voltage states where 碌P operation may be un-
predictable.
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.
The part has tight line and load regulation (0.04% typical)
and low output temperature coefficient (20 ppm/藲C typical).
The accuracy of the 5V output is guaranteed at room tem-
perature and over the full operating temperature range.
The LP2957 is available in the five-lead TO-220 and TO-263
packages.
