6.1 Overview

The LP2951-Q1 is low-dropout voltage regulator that accommodates a wide input supply voltage range up to 30V. The 8-pin LP2951-Q1 outputs either a fixed or adjustable output from the same device. By tying the OUTPUT and SENSE pins together, and the FEEDBACK and VTAP pins together, the LP2951-Q1 outputs a fixed 5V or 3.3V (depending on the version). Alternatively, by leaving the SENSE and VTAP pins unconnected and connecting FEEDBACK to an external resistor divider, the output can be set to any value between 1.2V to 30V.

The LP2951-Q1 has a error flag output (ERROR) that monitors the voltage at the feedback pin to indicate the status of the output voltage. The SHUTDOWN input and ERROR output are used for sequencing multiple power supplies in the system.

The LP2951-Q1 is stable with small ceramic output capacitors, allowing for a small overall solution size. The LP2951-Q1 has an output tolerance of 1% across line, load, and temperature variation (new chip) and is capable of delivering 100mA of continuous load current. This device includes integrated thermal shutdown, current limit, and undervoltage lockout (UVLO) features. This device delivers excellent line and load transient performance. The operating ambient temperature range of the device is –40°C to 125°C.
