The LM2940IMP-5.0/TR with Dropout Regulators (LDO) SOT-223-3L RoHS is a low-dropout (LDO) linear voltage regulator manufactured by HGSEMI. It is a three-pin positive voltage regulator with a very low input-output voltage (Dropout) differential of just 0.45V at maximum load. It is packaged in a SOT-223-3L package, which is a surface-mountable and quite small package that is well suited for compact applications. It has an output voltage of 5V, rated output current of 1A, and a temperature range of -40°C to 125°C. The LM2940IMP-5.0/TR is RoHS compliant and it features low quiescent current, reverse battery protection, and short-circuit protection. It is ideal for use in medium to high-current consumption applications, such as industrial control, automotive, computers, and telecommunications.
