FEATURES
DESCRIPTION
The LP2950-N and LP2951-N are micropower
2
5V, 3V, and 3.3V Versions Available
voltage regulators with very low quiescent current (75
High Accuracy Output Voltage
μA typ.) and very low dropout voltage (typ. 40 mV at
Ensured 100 mA Output Current
light loads and 380 mV at 100 mA). They are ideally
suited for use in battery-powered systems.
Extremely Low Quiescent Current
Furthermore, the quiescent current of the LP2950-
Low Dropout Voltage
N/LP2951-N increases only slightly in dropout,
Extremely Tight Load and Line Regulation
prolonging battery life.
Very Low Temperature Coefficient
The LP2950-N-5.0 is available in the surface-mount
Use as Regulator or Reference
PFM package, and in the popular 3-pin TO-92
package for pin-compatibility with older 5V regulators.
Needs Minimum Capacitance for Stability
The 8-lead LP2951-N is available in plastic, ceramic

One such feature is an error flag output which warns

on the input. It may be used for a power-on reset. A

which enables the regulator to be switched on and

off. Also, the part may be pin-strapped for a 5V, 3V,
Output Programmable From 1.24 to 29V
or 3.3V output (depending on the version), or
programmed from 1.24V to 29V with an external pair
of resistors.
Careful design of the LP2950-N/LP2951-N has
minimized all contributions to the error budget. This
includes a tight initial tolerance (.5% typ.), extremely
good load and line regulation (.05% typ.) and a very
low output voltage temperature coefficient, making
the part useful as a low-power voltage reference.
