FEATURES
DESCRIPTION
The LM2930 3-terminal positive regulator features an
2
Input-Output Differential Less Than 0.6V
ability to source 150 mA of output current with an
Output Current in Excess of 150 mA
input-output differential of 0.6V or less. Efficient use
Reverse Battery Protection
of low input voltages obtained, for example, from an
automotive battery during cold crank conditions,
40V Load Dump Protection
allows 5V circuitry to be properly powered with supply
Internal Short Circuit Current Limit
voltages as low as 5.6V. Familiar regulator features
Internal Thermal Overload Protection
such as current limit and thermal overload protection
are also provided.
Mirror-Image Insertion Protection

Product Enhancement Tested
Designed originally for automotive applications, the
LM2930 and all regulated circuitry are protected from
reverse battery installations or 2 battery jumps.
VOLTAGE RANGE
During line transients, such as a load dump (40V)
LM2930T-5.0: 5V
when the input voltage to the regulator can
LM2930T-8.0: 8V
momentarily exceed the specified maximum
operating voltage, the regulator will automatically shut
LM2930S-5.0: 5V
down to protect both internal circuits and the load.
LM2930S-8.0: 8V
The LM2930 cannot be harmed by temporary mirror-
image insertion.
Fixed outputs of 5V and 8V are available in the
plastic TO-220 and SFM power packages.
