SNOS733Q April 2000 – November 2023 LP2980-N
PRODUCTION DATA
The LP2980-N is shut off by driving the ON/OFF input low, and turned on by pulling the ON/OFF input high. If this feature is not used, the ON/OFF input must be tied to VIN to keep the regulator output on at all times (the ON/OFF input must not be left floating).
To provide proper operation, the signal source used to drive the ON/OFF input must be able to swing above and below the specified turn-on and turn-off voltage thresholds that specify an ON or OFF state (see the Electrical Characteristics table).
For the legacy chip, the turn-on (and turn-off) voltage signals applied to the ON/OFF input must have a slew rate greater than 40 mV/μs.
For the new chip, there is no restriction on the slew rate of the voltage signals applied to the ON/OFF input. Both fast and slow ramping voltage signals can be used to drive the ON/OFF pin.
For the legacy chip only, the ON/OFF function does not operate correctly if a slow-moving signal is used to drive the ON/OFF input.
