Frequently Asked Questions
What is the maximum output current of LM2940S-5.0/NOPB?
The LM2940S-5.0/NOPB supports a maximum output current of 1A. It is designed for applications requiring a stable 5V supply with load currents up to 1A, with built-in current limiting and thermal shutdown for protection.
What package does LM2940S-5.0/NOPB use and how many pins does it have?
LM2940S-5.0/NOPB comes in the TO-263-3 (D²PAK) surface-mount package with 3 pins: input, output, and ground. The wide thermal pad aids heat dissipation, making it suitable for high-current applications without an external heatsink in many designs.
What is the input voltage range for LM2940S-5.0/NOPB?
The input voltage range is 6V to 26V, providing a 1V headroom above the 5V output to maintain regulation. The low dropout voltage (typically <0.5V at full load) makes it efficient for battery-powered systems where supply voltage may drop during discharge.
Is LM2940S-5.0/NOPB RoHS compliant?
Yes, the /NOPB suffix indicates the part is lead-free and RoHS compliant. It meets EU RoHS Directive requirements, making it suitable for consumer, industrial, and automotive products requiring halogen-free and lead-free components.
What are common alternatives to LM2940S-5.0/NOPB?
Common alternatives include the LM1117S-5.0 (800mA LDO, SOT-223), L7805ABD2T (1.5A, TO-263), and AMS1117-5.0 (1A, SOT-223). For higher-efficiency designs, consider switching regulators like TPS54231. Ensure dropout voltage and thermal characteristics match your application before substituting.
