Frequently Asked Questions
What is the output voltage and current rating of the LM2936MP-5.0?
The LM2936MP-5.0 provides a fixed 5.0V output voltage with a maximum output current of 400mA. The output voltage accuracy is ±2% over the full operating temperature range, making it suitable for precision supply rails in embedded and portable systems.
How low is the quiescent current of the LM2936MP-5.0?
The LM2936MP-5.0 features an ultra-low quiescent current of approximately 20µA under light-load or no-load conditions, which is one of its key differentiators. This makes it an excellent choice for battery-operated devices that must remain in standby mode for extended periods without draining the battery.
What package does the LM2936MP-5.0 come in, and what are typical applications?
The LM2936MP-5.0 is available in the SOT-223 (MP) surface-mount package, which offers good thermal dissipation in a compact footprint. Typical applications include IoT sensor nodes, portable medical devices, automotive keep-alive circuits, memory backup supplies, and microcontroller sleep-mode power rails.
What is the minimum input voltage required to operate the LM2936MP-5.0?
The LM2936MP-5.0 requires an input voltage at least equal to the output voltage plus the dropout voltage. The dropout voltage is typically around 100mV at very light loads and can be up to 600mV at full 400mA load, so a minimum input of approximately 5.6V is recommended at full load to ensure regulated 5.0V output.
