About this manual

The L4941 is a three‑terminal 5 V positive regulator offered in TO‑220, TO‑220FP and DPAK packages, making it suitable for a wide range of industrial and consumer applications, especially battery‑powered equipment where low dropout reduces consumption. It integrates internal current limiting, anti‑saturation, thermal shutdown and safe‑area protection.

Key specifications include a typical dropout voltage of 450 mV at 1 A, an input voltage range of 6 V to 14 V, and a quiescent current of about 8 mA. The device is rated for operation from –40 °C to +150 °C and is available with ordering codes L4941BV (TO‑220), L4941BP (TO‑220FP) and L4941BD2T (DPAK).
