LM2937 Datasheet (Texas Instruments) - 500-mA Low Dropout Regulator

LM2937, 500-mA Low Dropout Regulator

The LM2937 is a positive voltage regulator capable of supplying up to 500 mA of load current.

The use of a PNP power transistor provides a low dropout voltage characteristic.

With a load current of 500 mA the minimum input to output voltage differential required for the output to remain in regulatio
