June 1999
LM3490 100 mA, SOT-23, Quasi Low-Dropout Linear Voltage Regulator with Logic-Controlled
ON/OFF
General Description
The LM3490 is an integrated linear voltage regulator. It features operation from an input as high as 30V and a guaranteed maximumdropout of 1.2V at the full 100 mA load. Standard packaging for the LM3490 is the 5-lead SOT-23
package. A logic-controlled ON/OFF feature makes the
LM3490 ideal for powering subsystems ON and OFF as
needed.
The 5, 12, and 15V members of the LM3490 series are intended as tiny alternatives to industry standard LM78LXX
series and similar devices. The 1.2V quasi low dropout of
LM3490 series devices makes them a nice fit in many applications where the 2 to 2.5V dropout of LM78LXX series devices precludes their (LM78LXX series devices) use.
The LM3490 series features a 3.3V member. The SOT packaging and quasi low dropout features of the LM3490 series
converge in this device to provide a very nice, very tiny 3.3V,
100 mA bias supply that regulates directly off the system

Note 1: The package code MA05B is internal to National Semiconductor Corporation and indicates a specific version of the SOT-23 package and associated me-
chanical drawings.
Note 2: The suffix “I” indicates the junction temperature range for operation is the industrial temperature range, −40 to +125˚C. The suffix “M5” indicates the die is
packaged in the 5-lead SOT-23 package. The suffix “X” indicates the devices will be supplied in blocks of 3k units as opposed to blocks of 250 units.
Note 3: Because the entire part number does not fit on the SOT-23 package, the SOT-23 package is marked with this code instead of the part number.
Note 4: Absolute Maximum Ratings are limits beyond which damage to the device may occur. Operating Ratings are conditions under which operation of the device
is guaranteed. Operating Ratings do not imply guaranteed performance limits. For guaranteed performance limits and associated test conditions, see the Electrical
Characteristics tables.
Note 5: The Absolute Maximum power dissipation depends on the ambient temperature and can be calculated using P=(T
perature, T
junction temperature, 150˚C, forT
dissipated at higher ambient temperatures. The Absolute Maximum power dissipation can be increased by 4 mW for each ˚C below 50˚C ambient. It must be derated
by 4 mW for each ˚C above 50˚C ambient. A θ
ing enables the safe dissipation of more power. The LM3490 actively limits its junction temperature to about 150˚C.
Note 6: Times shown are dwell times. Temperaturesshown are dwell temperatures. For detailed information on soldering plastic small-outline packages, refer to the
Packaging Databook
Note 7: For testing purposes, ESD was applied using the human-body model, a 100 pF capacitor discharged through a 1.5 kΩ resistor.
Note 8: As with the Absolute Maximum power dissipation, the maximum power dissipation for operation depends on the ambient temperature. The 300 mW rating
appearing under Operating Ratings results from substituting the maximum junction temperature for operation, 125˚C, for T
