DESCRIPTION
The LM2931 serie s are very low drop regul ators.
The very low drop voltage and the low quiescent
current make them particular suitable for low
noise, low power applications and in battery
powered systems. In the 8 pin configuration
(SO-8), fully compatible to the older L78L00
family, a shut down Logic Control function is
available.
This means that when the device is used as a
local regulator is possible to put a part of the board
TO-220
DPAK
TO-92
SO-8
in stand-by decreasing the total power
consumption. Ideal for automotive application the
LM2931 is protected from reverse battery
installations or 2 battery jumps. During the
transient, such as a a load dump (60V) when the
input voltage can e xceed the specified maximum
operating input voltage (26V), the regulator will
automatically shut down to protect both internal
circuit and the load.
