LM2937
500mA LOW DROPOUT
VOLTAGE REGULATOR
1
DESCRIPTION
The UTC
LM2937
is a positive voltage regulator capable of
supplying up to 500mA of load current. The use of a PNP power
transistor provides a low dropout voltage characteristic. With a
load current of 500mA the minimum input to output voltage
differential required for the output to remain in regulation is
typically 0.5V(1V guaranteed maximum over the full operating
temperature range). Special circuitry has been incorporated to
minimize the quiescent current to typically only 10mA with a full
500mA load current when the input to output voltage differential is
greater than 3V.
The UTC
LM2937
requires an output bypass capacitor for
stability. As with most low dropout regulators, the ESR of this
capacitor remains a critical design parameter, but the LM2937
includes special compensation circuitry that relaxes ESR
requirements. The UTC
LM2937
is stable for all ESR below
3Ω.This allows the use of low ESR chip capacitors.
Ideally suited for automotive applications, the UTC
LM2937
will
protect itself and any load circuitry from reverse battery
connections, two-battery jumps and up to +60V/-50V load dump
transients. Familiar regulator features such as short circuit and
thermal shutdown protection are also built in.

Note 1. Absolute Maximum Ratings indicate limits beyond which damage to the device may occur. Electrical
Specifications do not apply when operating the device outside of its rated Operating Conditions.
2. The maximum allowable power dissipation at any ambient temperature is P
MAX
= (125-T
A
)/
θ
JA
, where 125 is
the maximum junction temperature for operation, T
A
is the ambient temperature, and
θ
JA
is the junction to
ambient thermal resistance. If this dissipation is exceeded, the die temperature will rise above 125°C and
the electrical specifications do not apply. If the die temperature rises above 150°C, the LM2937 will go into
thermal shutdown.
