The MIC2940A and MIC2941A are "bulletproof" efficient voltage regulators with very low dropout voltage (typically 40mV at light loads and 350mV at 1A) and low quiescent current (240µA typical). The quiescent current of the MIC2940A increases only slightly in dropout, thus prolonging battery life. Key MIC2940A features include protection against reversed battery, fold-back current limiting, and automotive load-dump protection (60V positive transient).
The MIC2940 is available in both fixed voltage (3.3V, 5V, and 12V) and adjustable voltage configurations. The MIC2940A-xx devices are 3-pin fixed voltage regulators. A logic-compatible shutdown input is provided on the adjustable MIC2941A, which enables the regulator to be switched on and off.
Additional Features
High output voltage accuracy
Guaranteed 1.25A output
Low quiescent current
Low dropout voltage
Extremely tight load and line regulation
Very low temperature coefficient
Current and thermal limiting
Input can withstand -20V reverse battery and +60V positive transients
Logic-controlled electronic shutdown
Output programmable from 1.24V to 26V (MIC2941A)
Available in TO-220, TO-263, TO-220-5, and TO-263-5 packages.
