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
  • Reverse battery protection is provi
