L4940xx Very low drop 1.5 A regulator Features ■ Precise 5, 8.5, 10, 12 V outputs ■ Low dropout voltage (450 mV typ. at 1 A) ■ Very low quiescent current ■ Thermal shutdown ■ Short circuit protection ■ Reverse polarity protection TO-220 TO-220FP Description The L4940 series of three terminal positive regulators is available in TO-220, TO-220FP and D2PAK packages 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 batteries powered equipment, reducing consumption and Table 1. D2PAK prolonging battery life. Each type employs internal current limiting, antisaturation circuit, thermal shut-down and safe area protection.
