FEATURES
The LND2950-XX is a low power voltage
regulator.This device is an excellent choice for use in
battery powered application such as cordless
telephone, radio control systems, and portable
computers.
The LND2950-XX/LND2951-XX features very low
quiescent current (75A Typ.) and very low drop
output voltage (Typ. 40mV at light load and 380mV at
100mA).This includes a tight initial tolerance of 0.5%
typ., extremely good load and line regulation of
0.05% typ., and very low output temperature
coefficient, making the LND2950-XX/LND2951-XX
useful as a low-power voltage reference.
The error flag output feature is used as power-on
reset, warning of a low output voltage, due to falling
battery voltage on input. Another feature is the logic-
compatible shutdown input, which enables the
regulator to be switched on and off.
The LND2951-XX is available in 8 pin plastic
packages. The regulator output voltage may be pin-
strapped for a XX voltage or programmed from 1.24
volts to 29 volts with an external pair of resistors.
The LND2950-XX is offered in a 3-pin TO-92
package compatible with other fixed regulators.

Note 3: Regulations is measured at constant junction temperature, using pulse testing with a low duty cycle. Changes
in output voltage due to heating effects are covered under the specification for thermal regulation.
Note 4: Line regulation for LND2951-xx is tested at 150Cfor I
L
=1mA. For I
L =
100A and Tj=125C, line regulation is
guaranteed by design to 0.2%. See typical performance characteristics for line regulation verse temperature and load
current.
Note 5: Dropout voltage is defined as the input to output differential at which the output voltage drops 100mV below its
nominal value measured at 1V differential. At very low values of programmed output voltage, the minimum input
supply voltage of 2V(2.3V over temperature) must be taken into account.

Note 7: Output or reference voltage temperature coefficient is defined as the worst case voltage change divided by the
total temperature range.
Note 8: Comparator thresholds are expressed in terms of a voltage differential at the feedback terminal below the
nominal reference voltage measured at V

+1V input. To express these thresholds in terms of output voltage change,
multiply by the error amplifier gain =V

ref
=(R1+R2)/R2. For example, at a programmed output voltage of 5V, the
error output is guaranteed to go low when the output drops by 95mVx5V/1.235V=384mV. Thresholds remain constant
as a percent of V

as V

is varied, with the dropout warning occurring at typically 5% below nominal, 7.5%

BLOCK DIAGRAM AND TYPICAL APPLICATIONS
APPLICATION HINTS
External Capacitors
A 1.0
F (or greater ) capacitor is required between the output and the ground for stability at output
voltages of 5V or more. At lower output voltages, more capacitance is required. 2.2
F or more is
recommended for 3 V and 3.3 V versions.
Programming the Output Voltage
The LND2951 may be pin-strapped for the nominal fixed output voltage. Alternatively it may be
programmed for any output voltage between 1.24 V and 29 V depending upon the requirements.
