3 Description

The LM2936 ultra-low quiescent current regulator

features low dropout voltage and low current in the

standby mode. With less than 15-μA quiescent

current at a 100-μA load, the LM2936 is ideally suited

for automotive and other battery operated systems.

The LM2936 retains all of the features that are

common to low dropout regulators including a low dropout PNP pass device, short circuit protection,

reverse battery protection, and thermal shutdown.

The LM2936 has a 40-V maximum operating voltage

limit, a −40°C to 125°C operating temperature range,

and ±3% output voltage tolerance over the entire output current, input voltage, and temperature range.

The LM2936 is available in a TO-92 through-hole

package, as well as SOIC-8, VSSOP, SOT–223, and

TO-252 surface mount packages.
