NTE1942
Integrated Circuit
Positive Adjustable Voltage Regulator,
2.85V to 36V, 2A
Description:
The NTE1942 is an integrated circuit for voltage and current programmable regulation. Current limiting, power limiting, thermal shutdown, and input overvoltage protection (up to 60V) make the
NTE1942 virtually blowout proof. The NTE1942 can be used to replace fixed voltage regulators when
high output voltage precision is required.
Features:
D Adjustable Output Current Up to 2A (Guaranteed Up to TJ = +150°C)
D Adjustable Output Voltage Down to 2.85V
D Input Overvoltage Protection (Up to 60V, 10ms)
D Short Circuit Protection
D Output Transistor S.O.A. Protection
D Thermal Overload Protection
D Low Bias Current On Regulation Terminal
D Low Standby Current Drain

Note 1. A load step of 2A can be applied provided that the input–output differential voltage is lower
than 20V.
Note 2. The same performance can be maintained at higher output levels if a bypassing capacitor
is provided between Pin2 and Pin4.
