MIC2940A/2941A
1.2A Low-Dropout Voltage Regulator
General Description
The MIC2940A and MIC2941A are “bulletproof” efficient
voltage regulators with very low dropout voltage (typically
40mV at light loads and 350mV at 1A), and low quiescent
current (240µA typical). The quiescent current of the
MIC2940A increases only slightly in dropout, thus
prolonging battery life. Key MIC2940A features include
protection against reversed battery, fold-back current
limiting, and automotive “load dump” protection (60V
positive transient).
The MIC2940 is available in both
fixed
voltage (3.3V, 5V,
and 12V) and adjustable voltage configurations. The
MIC2940A-xx devices are three pin,
fixed
voltage
regulators. A logic-compatible shutdown input is provided
on the adjustable MIC2941A, which enables the regulator
to be switched on and off.

Across the full operating temperature, the minimum input voltage range
for full output current is 4.3V to 26V. Output will remain in-regulation at
lower output voltages and low current loads down to an input of 2V at
25°C.

Notes:
1.
Absolute maximum ratings indicate limits beyond which damage to the component may occur. Electrical specifications do not apply when operating
the device outside of its rated operating conditions. The maximum allowable power dissipation is a function of the maximum junction temperature,
T
J(MAX)
, the junction-to-ambient thermal resistance,
θ
JA
, and the ambient temperature, T
A
. The maximum allowable power dissipation at any ambient
temperature is calculated using: P
(MAX)
= (T
J(MAX)
– T
A
) /
θ
JA
. Exceeding the maximum allowable power dissipation will result in excessive die
temperature, and the regulator will go into thermal shutdown.
Output voltage temperature coefficient is defined as the worst case voltage change divided by the total temperature range.
Regulation is measured at constant junction temperature using low duty cycle pulse testing. Changes in output voltage due to heating effects are
covered by the thermal regulation specification.
Dropout Voltage is defined as the input to output differential at which the output voltage drops 100 mV below its nominal value measured at 1V
differential. At low values of programmed output voltage, the minimum input supply voltage of 4.3V over temperature must be taken into account.
Ground pin current is the regulator quiescent current. The total current drawn from the source is the sum of the load current plus the ground pin
current.
The MIC2940A features fold-back current limiting. The short circuit (V
OUT
= 0V) current limit is less than the maximum current with normal output
voltage.
Thermal regulation is defined as the change in output voltage at a time T after a change in power dissipation is applied, excluding load or line
regulation effects. Specifications are for a 200mA load pulse at V
IN
= 20V (a 4W pulse) for T = 10ms.

10. When used in dual supply systems where the regulator load is returned to a negative supply, the output voltage must be diode clamped to ground.
11. Maximum positive supply voltage of 60 V must be of limited duration (< 100 ms) and duty cycle (≤ 1%). The maximum continuous supply voltage is
26V.
