UTC LM2937-XX LINEAR INTEGRATED CIRCUIT
500mA LOW DROPOUT VOLTAGE
REGULATOR
DESCRIPTION
The UTC LM2937-XX is a positive voltage regulator
capable of supplying up to 500mA of load current. The use of
a PNP power transistor provides a low dropout voltage
characteristic. With a load current of 500mA the minimum
input to output voltage differential required for the output to
remain in regulation is typically 0.5V(1V guaranteed maximum
over the full operating temperature range). Special circuitry
has been incorporated to minimize the quiescent current to
typically only 10mA with a full 500mA load current when the
input to output voltage differential is greater than 3V.
The UTC LM2937-XX requires an output bypass
capacitor for stability. As with most low dropout regulators, the
ESR of this capacitor remains a critical design parameter, but
the LM2937 includes special compensation circuitry that
relaxes ESR requirements. The UTC LM2937-XX is stable for
all ESR below 3
Ω
.This allows the use of low ESR chip
capacitors.
Ideally suited for automotive applications, the UTC
LM2937-XX will protect itself and any load circuitry from
reverse battery connections, two-battery jumps and up to
+60V/-50V load dump transients. Familiar regulator features
such as short circuit and thermal shutdown protection are also
built in.

Note 1: Absolute Maximum Ratings indicate limits beyond which damage to the device may occur. Electrical
Specifications do not apply when operating the device outside of its rated Operating Conditions.
Note 2: The maximum allowable power dissipation at any ambient temperature is P
MAX
=(125-T
A
)/
Θ
JA
, where 125 is
the maximum junction temperature for operation, T
A
is the ambient temperature, and
Θ
JA
is the junction to
ambient thermal resistance. If this dissipation is exceeded, the die temperature will rise above 125°C and
the electrical specifications do not apply. If the die temperature rises above 150°C, the LM2937 will go into
thermal shutdown. For the LM2937, the junction to ambient thermal resistance
ΘJA
is 65°C/W, for the
TO-220 package and 73°C/W for the TO-263 package. When used with a heat sink,
Θ
JA
is the sum of the
LM2937 junction to case thermal resistance
Θ
JC
of 3°C/W and the heat sink case to ambient thermal
resistance. If the TO-263 package is used, the thermal resistance can be reduced by increasing P.C. board
copper area thermally connected to the package.
