About this manual

The LP2950 and LP2951 are micropower LDO regulators offering a typical dropout of 40 mV at light loads and 380 mV at 100 mA, with a quiescent current of about 75 µA. They are designed for battery‑powered systems and are available in 3‑Pin TO‑92, 8‑Pin DIP and 8‑Pin SOIC packages.

Typical applications include automotive electronics, voltage references and avionics. The LP2951 adds an error‑flag output and logic‑controlled shutdown, while the output voltage can be programmed from 1.24 V to 29 V using external resistors.
