LP2956 - Dual Micropower Low-Dropout Voltage Regulators

General Description

The LP2956 is a micropower voltage regulator with very low quiescent current (170 µA typical at light loads) and very low dropout voltage (typically 60 mV at 1 mA load current and 470 mV at 250 mA load current on the main output).

Key Features

  • The auxiliary output is always on (regardless of main output status), so it can be used to power memory circuits. Quiescent current increases only slightly at dropout, which prolongs battery life. The error flag goes low if the main output voltage drops out of regulation. An open-collector auxiliary comparator is included, whose inverting input is tied to the 1.23V reference. Reverse battery protection is provided. The parts are available in DIP and surface mount packages. Features n n n n n n.

LP2956/LP2956A Dual Micropower Low-Dropout Voltage Regulators May 1999 LP2956/LP2956A Dual Micropower Low-Dropout Voltage Regulators General Description The LP2956 is a micropower voltage regulator with very low quiescent current (170 µA typical at light loads) and very low dropout voltage (typically 60 mV at 1 mA load current and 470 mV at 250 mA load current on the main output). The LP2956 retains all the desirable characteristics of the LP2951, but offers increased output current (main output), an auxiliary LDO adjustable regulated output (75 mA), and additional features. The auxiliary output is always on (regardless of main output status), so it can be used to power memory circuits. Quiescent current increases only slightly at dropout, which prolongs battery life.
