The LM2940SX-9.0/NOPB is a fixed 9V low dropout linear regulator capable of delivering 1A of output current. With a dropout voltage of just 1V at full load, it efficiently regulates from higher input rails. Its 10 mA quiescent current and 64dB ripple rejection at 120Hz make it a reliable choice for automotive, industrial, and audio applications. Housed in a TO-263 package, it offers robust thermal performance for demanding designs.
- High Current Capacity: Delivers up to 1A, suitable for powering multiple subsystems from a single regulated rail.
- Low Dropout Voltage: 1V dropout at 1A maximizes efficiency in battery and automotive applications.
- Excellent Ripple Rejection: 64dB PSRR at 120Hz ensures clean output for noise-sensitive analog circuits.
- Robust Package: TO-263 (DDPAK-3) provides superior heat dissipation for reliable operation.
Automotive Power Supplies
With a 9V output and 1A capability, this regulator is ideal for powering sensors, microcontrollers, and interface circuits in automotive environments where a stable 9V rail is needed from a 12V battery.
Industrial Control Systems
The 64dB PSRR at 120Hz effectively filters rectified AC ripple, making it suitable for industrial controllers and PLCs that require clean, regulated 9V power.
Battery-Powered Equipment
The low dropout of 1V allows efficient use of battery voltage, extending runtime in portable instruments and backup systems that operate from 9V to 12V sources.
Audio and Measurement Devices
Its low output noise and good ripple rejection make it a solid choice for analog audio circuits and precision measurement equipment requiring a quiet 9V supply.
Networking and Communication Gear
Provides a stable 9V rail for routers, switches, and RF modules, ensuring consistent performance despite input voltage fluctuations.
