The LM2940CT-5.0/NOPB is a low-dropout linear regulator from Texas Instruments, providing a fixed 5V output at up to 1A. Its key feature is a dropout voltage of just 1V, allowing efficient operation from supplies that are only slightly above 5V. The TO-220-3 package ensures good thermal performance.
- Low Dropout Voltage: 1V dropout at 1A enables operation from lower input voltages, improving efficiency.
- Fixed 5V Output: Simple design with no external resistors required.
- High PSRR: 72dB at 120Hz provides good noise rejection for sensitive loads.
- Automotive-Ready: Handles input transients and voltage dips common in automotive environments.
Automotive Power
With a low dropout of 1V, the LM2940CT-5.0/NOPB can regulate 5V from a car battery even during cranking conditions, ensuring stable operation.
Battery-Powered Equipment
Its low dropout allows efficient use of battery capacity, making it ideal for portable devices that need a regulated 5V rail.
Post-Regulation for Switching Supplies
