Frequently Asked Questions
What is the output voltage and accuracy of the LM2990T-15/NOPB?
The LM2990T-15/NOPB provides a fixed -15V negative output voltage with ±5% accuracy. This means the output is guaranteed between -14.25V and -15.75V over the full operating range, making it suitable for precision analog and mixed-signal circuits that require a stable negative supply rail.
What input voltage range is required to operate the LM2990T-15/NOPB?
The LM2990T-15/NOPB requires an input voltage between -16V and -26V (absolute maximum -26V) to maintain the regulated -15V output. The typical dropout voltage is 0.6V and the maximum dropout is 1V, so a minimum input of approximately -16V is needed to keep the output in regulation at full load.
How much output current can the LM2990T-15/NOPB supply?
The LM2990T-15/NOPB is rated for up to 1A continuous output current. This is sufficient for powering analog front-ends, op-amp networks, and other moderate-load negative-rail circuits in industrial and audio applications.
What package does the LM2990T-15/NOPB use and is it RoHS compliant?
The LM2990T-15/NOPB comes in a 3-pin TO-220 through-hole package (JESD-30 code R-XSFM-T3), which provides good thermal dissipation and easy board mounting. It is Pb-free and RoHS compliant per JESD-609 e3 coding, making it compatible with modern lead-free soldering processes.
What are typical applications for the LM2990T-15/NOPB?
Typical applications include dual-supply op-amp circuits, audio preamplifiers, analog signal conditioning, industrial instrumentation power supplies, and any system requiring a regulated -15V negative rail. Its fixed output and simple pin-out make it straightforward to use as a standalone negative regulator with just input/output bypass capacitors.
