LP2954/LP2954A 5V and Adjustable Micropower Low-Dropout Voltage Regulators

June 1999

General Description

The LP2954 is a 5V micropower voltage regulator with very
low quiescent current (90 µA typical at 1 mA load) and very
low dropout voltage (typically 60 mV at light loads and
470 mV at 250 mA load current).

The quiescent current increases only slightly at dropout
(120 µA typical), which prolongs battery life.

The LP2954 with a fixed 5V output is available in the
three-lead TO-220 and TO-263 packages. The adjustable
LP2954 isprovided in an 8-lead surface mount, small outline
package. The adjustable version also provides a resistor net­work which can be pin strapped to set the output to 5V.

Reverse battery protection is provided.
The tight line and load regulation (0.04%typical), as well as

very low output temperature coefficient make the LP2954
well suited for use as a low-power voltage reference.

Output accuracy is guaranteed at both room temperature
and over the entire operating temperature range.

Features

n 5V output within 1.2%over temperature (A grade)
n Adjustable 1.23 to 29V output voltage available

(LP2954IM and LP2954AIM)

n Guaranteed 250 mA output current
n Extremely low quiescent current
n Low dropout voltage
n Reverse battery protection
n Extremely tight line and load regulation
n Very low temperature coefficient
n Current and thermal limiting
n Pin compatible with LM2940 and LM340 (5V version

only)

n Adjustable version adds error flag to warn of output drop

and a logic-controlled shutdown

Applications

n High-efficiency linear regulator
n Low dropout battery-powered regulator

Note 1: Absolute maximum ratings indicate limits beyond which damage to the component may occur. Electrical specifications do not apply when operating the de­vice outside of its rated operating conditions.

Note 2: The maximum allowable power dissipation is a function of the maximum junction temperature, T
and the ambient temperature, T

. The maximum allowable power dissipation at any ambient temperature is calculated using:

Exceeding the maximum allowable power dissipation will result in excessive die temperature, and the regulator will gointothermal shutdown.The junction-to-ambient
thermal resistance of the TO-220 (without heatsink) is 60˚C/W, 73˚C/W for the TO-263, and 160˚C/W for the SO-8. If the TO-263 package is used, the thermal re­sistance can be reduced by increasing the P.C. board copper area thermally connected to the package: Using 0.5 square inches of copper area, θ
1 square inch of copper area, θ
If an external heatsink is used, the effective junction-to-ambient thermal resistance is the sum of the junction-to-case resistance (3˚C/W), the specified thermal re­sistance of the heatsink selected, and the thermal resistance of the interface between the heatsink and the LP2954. Some typical values are listed for interface ma­terials used with TO-220:
