250mA Low Dropout Voltage Regulator
SPX2954
DESCRIPTION
The SPX2954 and SPX2954A are low power voltage regulators. These devices are an excellent
choice for use in battery-powered applications such as cordless telephones, radio control
systems, and portable computers. The SPX2954 and SPX2954A feature low quiescent current
and low dropout voltage (typ. 20mV at 100
μ
A and 310mV at 250mA). This includes a tight initial
tolerance (0.5% for SPX2954A), extremely good load and line regulation (0.05% typ.), and very
low output temperature coefficient (20 ppm/
°
C typ.), making the SPX2954/SPX2954A useful as
a low-power voltage reference.
The error flag output feature is used as a power-on reset for warning of a low output voltage, due
to a falling input voltage. The logic-compatible shutdown feature enables the regulator to be
switched ON and OFF. The SPX2954/SPX2954A is offered in 3-pin TO-92, TO-263, SOT-223
and TO-220 packages, and 8 pin SOIC package.
