The LM2941CT/NOPB is a highly efficient, low dropout voltage regulator integrated circuit (IC) component manufactured by Texas Instruments. It is specifically designed to deliver a constant, regulated output voltage despite varying input voltages. The IC's high accuracy and exceptional line and load regulation make it well-suited for various applications, especially where space and power efficiency are important considerations.
The LM2941CT/NOPB can accept a wide input voltage range from 5.5V to 26V, making it compatible with a diverse range of power sources. It provides a fixed output voltage with a low dropout voltage of only 0.5V at full load, ensuring excellent regulation even when the input voltage approaches the required output voltage. The IC has a maximum output current of 1A, allowing it to power small to medium loads with ease.
One of the key features of the LM2941CT/NOPB is its ability to withstand transient voltage spikes of up to 60V, offering protection against voltage disturbances commonly encountered in various systems. Additionally, this IC incorporates reverse battery protection, preventing any reverse current flow that could potentially damage the regulator or the connected circuitry.
To ensure stability and protection against over-temperature conditions, the LM2941CT/NOPB is equipped with built-in thermal shutdown and current limit features. If the IC exceeds the specified temperature threshold or the current limit, it automatically shuts down to prevent damage
