L4940 series VERY LOW DROP 1.5 A REGULATORS ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ PRECISE 5 V, 8.5 V, 10 V, 12 V OUTPUTS LOW DROPOUT VOLTAGE (500 mV typ at 1.5A) VERY LOW QUIESCENT CURRENT THERMAL SHUTDOWN SHORT CIRCUIT PROTECTION REVERSE POLARITY PROTECTION DESCRIPTION The L4940 series of three terminal positive regulators is available in TO-220 and D2PAK package and with several fixed output voltages, making it useful in a wide range of industrial and consumer applications. Thanks to its very low input/output voltage drop, these devices are particularly suitable for battery powered equipments, reducing consumption and prolonging battery life. Each type employs internal current limiting, antisaturation circuit, thermal shut-down and safe area protection.

ADVANTAGES OF THESE APPLICATIONS ARE : On card regulation with short-circuit and thermal protection on each output. Very high total system efficiency due to the switching preregulation and very low-drop postregulations. Figure 27. ADVANTAGES OF THIS CONFIGURATION ARE : Very high regulation (line and load) on both the output voltages. 12 V output short-circuit and thermally protected. Very high efficiency on the 12 V output due to the very low drop regulator. 10/13 L4940 series TO-220 MECHANICAL DATA mm DIM. MIN. TYP. A inch MAX. MIN.
