Motorola LP2950 LP2951 Data Sheet
Summary
The LP2950 and LP2951 are highly efficient micropower voltage regulators designed to maximize battery life in portable electronics. Featuring extremely low input–to–output voltage differentials and quiescent bias current, these devices reliably supply over 100 mA while protecting against thermal and internal current issues. The advanced LP2951 model further offers enhanced functionality, including programmable output voltage (1.25V–29V), an error signaling output, and a shutdown input. This manual provides comprehensive specifications for integrating these power-saving regulators into demanding consumer, industrial, and computing equipment.

MICROPOWER The LP2950 and LP2951 are micropower voltage regulators that are LOW DROPOUT
specifically designed to maintain proper regulation with an extremely low VOLTAGE REGULATORS input–to–output voltage differential. These devices feature a very low quiescent bias current of 75 µA and are capable of supplying output currents in excess of 100 m A. Internal current and thermal limiting protection is provided.
The LP2951 has three additional features. The first is the Error Output Z SUFFIX PLASTIC PACKAGE
that can be used to signal external circuitry of an out of regulation condition,
CASE 29
or as a microprocessor power–on reset. The second feature allows the
(TO–226AA/TO–92)
output voltage to be preset to 5.0 V, 3.3 V or 3.0 V output (depending on the
Pin: 1. Output
version) or programmed from 1.25 V to 29 V. It consists of a pinned out

resistor divider along with direct access to the Error Amplifier feedback input. 3. Input The third feature is a Shutdown input that allows a logic level signal to turn–off or turn–on the regulator output.
DT SUFFIX
Due to the low input–to–output voltage differential and bias current PLASTIC PACKAGE
specifications, these devices are ideally suited for battery powered CASE 369A (DPAK)
computer, consumer, and industrial equipment where an extension of useful battery life is desirable. The LP2950 is available in the three pin case 29 and DPAK packages, and the LP2951 is available in the eight pin dual–in–line, SO–8 and Micro–8 surface mount packages. The ‘A’ suffix
Pin: 1. Input
devices feature an initial output voltage tolerance ± 0.5%.
