GENERAL DESCRIPTION

The SPX2940 is a 1A, accurate voltage

regulators with a low drop out voltage of

280mV (typical) at 1A.

These regulators are specifically designed for

low voltage applications that require a low

dropout voltage and a fast transient response.

They are fully fault protected against overcurrent,

reverse battery, and positive and

negative voltage transients.

The SPX2940 is offered in 3-pin TO-220 & TO-

263 packages. For a 3A version, refer to the

SPX29300 data sheet.
