Micropower Voltage Regulators
The LP2950 and LP2951 are micropower voltage regulators that are
specifically designed to maintain proper regulation with an extremely low
input–to–output voltage differential. These devices feature a very low
quiescent bias current of 75
µA
and are capable of supplying output currents
in excess of 100 mA. Internal current and thermal limiting protection is
provided.
The LP2951 has three additional features. The first is the Error Output
that can be used to signal external circuitry of an out of regulation condition,
or as a microprocessor power–on reset. The second feature allows the
output voltage to be preset to 5.0 V, 3.3 V or 3.0 V output (depending on the
version) or programmed from 1.25 V to 29 V. It consists of a pinned out
resistor divider along with direct access to the Error Amplifier feedback input.
The third feature is a Shutdown input that allows a logic level signal to
turn–off or turn–on the regulator output.
Due to the low input–to–output voltage differential and bias current
specifications, these devices are ideally suited for battery powered
computer, consumer, and industrial equipment where an extension of
useful battery life is desirable. The LP2950 is available in the three pin case
29 and DPAK packages, and the LP2951 is available in the eight pin
dual–in–line, SO–8 and Micro–8 surface mount packages. The ‘A’ suffix
devices feature an initial output voltage tolerance
±
0.5%.

DEFINITIONS
Dropout Voltage
– The input/output voltage differential at
which the regulator output no longer maintains regulation
against further reductions in input voltage. Measured when
the output drops 100 mV below its nominal value (which is
measured at 1.0 V differential), dropout voltage is affected by
junction temperature, load current and minimum input supply
requirements.
Line Regulation
– The change in output voltage for a
change in input voltage. The measurement is made under
conditions of low dissipation or by using pulse techniques
such that average chip temperature is not significantly
affected.
Load Regulation
– The change in output voltage for a
change in load current at constant chip temperature.
Maximum Power Dissipation
– The maximum total
device dissipation for which the regulator will operate within
specifications.
Bias Current
– Current which is used to operate the
regulator chip and is not delivered to the load.

Output Noise Voltage
– The rms ac voltage at the output,
with constant load and no input ripple, measured over a
specified frequency range.
Leakage Current
– Current drawn through a bipolar
transistor collector–base junction, under a specified collector
voltage, when the transistor is “off”.
Upper Threshold Voltage
– Voltage applied to the
comparator input terminal, below the reference voltage
which is applied to the other comparator input terminal,
which causes the comparator output to change state from a
logic “0” to “1”.
Lower Threshold Voltage
– Voltage applied to the
comparator input terminal, below the reference voltage
which is applied to the other comparator input terminal,
which causes the comparator output to change state from a
logic “1” to “0”.
Hysteresis
– The difference between Lower Threshold
voltage and Upper Threshold voltage.
