JAJSBA0Q January 2000 – December 2017 LP2950-N , LP2951-N
PRODUCTION DATA.
The LP2950-N and LP2951-N are linear voltage regulator operating from 2.3 V to 30 V on the input and regulates voltages between 1.24 V to 29 V with 0.5% accuracy and 160 mA maximum outputs current. Efficiency is defined by the ratio of output voltage to input voltage because the LP2950-N and LP2951-N is a linear voltage regulator. To achieve high efficiency, the dropout voltage (VIN – VOUT) must be as small as possible, thus requiring a very low dropout LDO. Successfully implementing an LDO in an application depends on the application requirements. If the requirements are simply input voltage and output voltage, compliance specifications (such as internal power dissipation or stability) must be verified to ensure a solid design. If timing, start-up, noise, PSRR, or any other transient specification is required, the design becomes more challenging.
