LX8941 ® TM Adjustable Low Dropout Regulator P RELIMINARY D ATA S HEET KEY FEATURES DESCRIPTION 2% Internally Trimmed Output Output Current In Excess of 1A Input – Output Differential Less Than 0.8V @ 1A Reverse Battery Protection Short Circuit Protection Internal Thermal Overload Protection Available in 5-Lead Plastic TO220 & Surface-Mount TO-263 This feature makes it ideal for some processor applications that require 4V operation from a 5V supply. In addition, the LX8941 provides an on / off switch that reduces the IC quiescent current when activated, making it ideal for battery operated applications. IMPORTANT: For the most current data, consult MICROSEMI’s website: http://www.microsemi.com WWW . Microsemi .C OM The Microsemi LX8941 is an adjustable, low dropout regulator rated for more than 1A of output current. It can regulate with as low as 0.8V headroom between the input and output voltages, at 1A output current, thus minimizing power dissipation. In addition, it can be used in applications where worst case supplies require a low input / output differential to maintain regulation.

Low duty cycle pulse testing techniques are used which maintain junction and case temperatures equal to the ambient temperature. Note 3: The output voltage range is 4 to 25V and is determined by the two external resistor, R1 and R2. See Product Highlight.
