Note 1: 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 3: Guaranteed and 100%production tested.
Note 4: Guaranteed but not 100%production tested. These limits are not used to calculate outgoing AQL levels.
Note 5: Dropout Voltage is defined as the input to output differential at which the output voltage drops 100 mV below its nominal value measured at 1V differential.
At very low values of programmed output voltage, the minimum input supply voltage of 2V (2.3V over temperature) must be taken into account.
Note 6: Comparator thresholds are expressed in terms of a voltage differential at the Feedback terminal below the nominal reference voltage measured at

NOM + 1)V. To express these thresholds in terms of output voltage change, multiply by the error amplifier gain=V
out/Vref
=
(R1 + R2)/R2.
For example, at a programmed output voltage of 5V, the Error output is guaranteed to go low when the output drops by 95 mV x 5V/1.235V=384 mV.
Thresholds remain constant as a percent of V

Note 8: The junction-to-ambient thermal resistances are as follows: 180˚C/W and 160˚C/W for the TO-92 package with 0.40 inch and 0.25 inch leads to the printed
circuit board (PCB) respectively, 105˚C/W for the molded plastic DIP (N), 130˚C/W for the ceramic DIP (J), 160˚C/W for the molded plastic SOP (M), 200˚C/W for the
molded plastic MSOP (MM), and 160˚C/W for the metal can package (H). The above thermal resistances for the N, J, M, and MM packages apply when the package
is soldered directly to the PCB. Junction-to-case thermal resistance for the H package is 20˚C/W. Junction-to-case thermal resistance for the TO-252 package is
5.4˚C/W.
Note 9: May exceed input supply voltage.
Note 10: When used in dual-supply systems where the output terminal sees loads returned to a negative supply, the output voltage should be diode-clamped to
ground.

Note 12: Output or reference voltage temperature coefficient is defined as the worst case voltage change divided by the total temperature range.
Note 13: Thermal regulation is defined as the change in output voltage at a time T after a change in power dissipation is applied, excluding load or line regulation
effects. Specifications are for a 50 mA load pulse at V
IN
=
30V (1.25W pulse) for T=10 ms.
Note 14: Regulation is measured at constant junction temperature, using pulse testing with a low duty cycle. Changes in output voltage due to heating effects are
covered under the specification for thermal regulation.
Note 15: Line regulation for the LP2951 is tested at150˚CforI

Performance Characteristics for line regulation versus temperature and load current.
Note 16: A Military RETS specification is available on request. At time of printing, the LP2951 RETS specification complied with the boldface limits in this column.
The LP2951H, WG, or J may also be procured as Standard Military Drawing Spec
#
5962-3870501MGA, MXA, or MPA.
Note 17: All LP2950 devices have the nominal output voltage coded as the last two digits of the part number. In the LP2951 products, the 3.0V and 3.3V versions
are designated by the last two digits, but the 5V version is denoted with no code at this location of the part number (refer to ordering information table).
