DESCRIPTION
The LP2951 series of low power voltage regulators
have low quiescent current and low dropout voltage.
The quiescent current increases minimally during
dropout conditions thereby extending battery life.
Available in the 8 lead SOIC package, the LP2951 se-
ries includes features such as shutdown and low out-
put voltage detect (typically due to low battery condi-
tions). This function may also be used as a power on
reset function when triggered by CMOS or TTL inputs.
The circuit can be used as a fixed voltage 5 volt (3.3
volt for LP2951CM-3.3) regulator or adjusted between
1.24 volts and 29 volts using external resistor pairs.
