Table 4-1 Pin Functions
PIN TYPE(1) DESCRIPTION
NAME LP2950 LP2951
ERROR — 5 O Active-low open-drain error output. Goes low when VOUT drops by 6% of the nominal value.
FEEDBACK — 7 I Determines the output voltage. Connect to VTAP (with OUTPUT tied to SENSE) for fixed output option, or connect to a resistor divider for adjustable output option.
GND 2 4 — Ground
INPUT 3 8 I Input supply pin. Use a capacitor with a value of 1µF or larger from this pin to ground is recommended. See the Section 7.1.2 section for more information.
OUTPUT 1 1 O

A capacitor is required from OUTPUT to GND for stability. For best transient response, use the nominal recommended value or larger ceramic capacitor from OUTPUT to GND (2), see the Section 7.1.2. Place the output capacitor as close to output of the device as possible.
SENSE — 2 I Senses the output voltage. Connect to OUTPUT (with FEEDBACK tied to VTAP) for fixed output option only. If using the device as adjustable output, this pin must be left floating.
SHUTDOWN — 3 I Active-high input. High signal disables the device; low signal enables the device.
VTAP — 6 O Connect to FEEDBACK for fixed output option. If using the device as adjustable output, this pin must be left floating.
(1) I = Input; O = Output
(2) The nominal output capacitance must be greater than 1μF. Throughout this document, the nominal derating on these capacitors is 50%. Verify that the effective capacitance at the pin is greater than 1μF.
