FEATURES
DESCRIPTION
The LM2930 3-terminal positive regulator features an
2
• Input-Output Differential Less Than 0.6V
ability to source 150 mA of output current with an
• Output Current in Excess of 150 mA
input-output differential of 0.6V or less. Efficient use
• Reverse Battery Protection
of low input voltages obtained, for example, from an
automotive battery during cold crank conditions,
• 40V Load Dump Protection
allows 5V circuitry to be properly powered with supply
• Internal Short Circuit Current Limit
voltages as low as 5.6V. Familiar regulator features
• Internal Thermal Overload Protection
such as current limit and thermal overload protection
are also provided.
• Mirror-Image Insertion Protection
• P
+
Product Enhancement Tested
Designed originally for automotive applications, the
LM2930 and all regulated circuitry are protected from
reverse battery installations or 2 battery jumps.
VOLTAGE RANGE
During line transients, such as a load dump (40V)
• LM2930T-5.0: 5V
when the input voltage to the regulator can
• LM2930T-8.0: 8V
momentarily exceed the specified maximum
operating voltage, the regulator will automatically shut
• LM2930S-5.0: 5V
down to protect both internal circuits and the load.
• LM2930S-8.0: 8V
The LM2930 cannot be harmed by temporary mirror-
image insertion.
Fixed outputs of 5V and 8V are available in the
plastic TO-220 and SFM power packages.
