What are the key features of LM2941GWRLQMLV?
- Adjustable output voltage with 0.5 V nominal dropout enables low-loss regulation from a 6 V to 26 V input supply
- 26 V maximum input voltage tolerance suits automotive 12 V and 24 V battery systems with load-dump transients
- 1 V maximum dropout voltage ensures regulation continuity even when battery voltage sags during cranking
- 16-pin small outline package with lead-free compliance and tape-and-reel packaging for automated assembly lines
What is LM2941GWRLQMLV used for?
The LM2941GWRLQMLV is designed for automotive ECU power supplies, industrial sensor modules, and embedded controllers that need a stable regulated output from a wide-range 6 V to 26 V battery or DC bus input. Its low 0.5 V dropout voltage makes it effective in 12 V automotive systems where regulated logic or sensor voltages must be maintained during battery voltage drops. The device also suits off-road vehicle electronics and marine applications where supply rails fluctuate significantly under variable load conditions.

Frequently Asked Questions
What input voltage range does the LM2941GWRLQMLV support for automotive battery applications?
The LM2941GWRLQMLV accepts input voltages from 6 V to 26 V, covering the full range of a 12 V automotive battery including cold-crank sag down to approximately 6 V and load-dump transients reaching 26 V. This wide input tolerance eliminates the need for additional voltage clamping on the input in most automotive ECU and body electronics designs using a standard 12 V battery bus.
How does the 0.5 V nominal dropout voltage of the LM2941GWRLQMLV reduce power dissipation compared to a standard LDO?
With a 0.5 V nominal dropout, the LM2941GWRLQMLV dissipates only 0.5 V × Iout as heat at minimum headroom, compared to older regulators with 1.5 V to 2.5 V dropout that waste 3 to 5 times more power at the same output current. In a 5 V output at 500 mA scenario, dropout power is just 250 mW instead of 750 mW to 1250 mW, reducing heatsinking requirements and improving overall system efficiency in thermally constrained automotive modules.
How is the output voltage of the LM2941GWRLQMLV set, and what component values are typically required?
The output voltage is set by a resistor divider connected between the output, the ADJ pin, and ground following the standard LDO formula Vout = Vref × (1 + R1/R2). The internal reference voltage is approximately 1.275 V, so for a 3.3 V output the ratio R1/R2 equals approximately 1.59, achievable with standard 10 kΩ and 6.3 kΩ resistors. An output capacitor of at least 22 µF ensures stability at full load current.
Is the LM2941GWRLQMLV certified for automotive-grade temperature operation and what package does it use?
The LM2941GWRLQMLV is specified for operation over an extended temperature range suitable for automotive environments, and it is housed in a 16-pin SOIC package identified by JESD-30 code R-CDSO-G16. The lead-free construction with JESD-609 code e0 confirms compliance with automotive RoHS requirements. For designs requiring AEC-Q100 certified parts, engineers should verify the specific grade qualification on the Texas Instruments product page, as the LQMLV suffix may indicate a space or high-reliability qualified variant.
