Description
The LM2931xx are very low drop regulators. The
very low drop voltage and the low quiescent
current make them particular suitable for low
noise, low power applications and in battery-
powered systems. In the 8-pin configuration
(SO-8), fully compatible with the older L78Lxx
family, a shutdown logic control function is
available. This means that when the device is
used as a local regulator it is possible to put a part
of the board in standby, decreasing total power
consumption. Ideal for automotive applications,
LM2931xx is protected from reverse battery
installations or 2 battery jumps. During the
transient, such as a 60 V load dump, when the
input voltage can exceed the specified maximum
operating input voltage of 26 V, the regulator
automatically shuts down to protect both internal
circuitry and the load.
