LM2936HVM-5.0/NOPB – TEXAS INSTRUMENTS

The Texas Instruments LM2936HVM-5.0/NOPB is a low-dropout (LDO) voltage regulator specifically designed for high-voltage applications. It offers a fixed 5.0V output with a maximum input voltage of 36V, significantly higher than many comparable LDOs. This makes it ideal for systems requiring robust voltage regulation from sources like automotive batteries or industrial power supplies. The device features a quiescent current of only 1.5mA (typical), contributing to high efficiency even at light loads. Its output current capability reaches 1A, sufficient for many moderate-power applications._x000D_

Packaged in a space-saving, thermally enhanced, 8-pin SOIC (small outline integrated circuit) with a lead-free, no-PB (lead-free) finish, the LM2936HVM-5.0/NOPB ensures both efficient heat dissipation and environmental compliance. Its key advantages include excellent line and load regulation, minimal output noise, and robust short-circuit protection. Common use cases include powering microcontrollers, digital signal processors, and other integrated circuits in high-voltage environments where a stable 5V supply is crucial. The high input voltage tolerance simplifies design by eliminating the need for additional pre-regulation stages, reducing component count and board space. The device’s thermal performance allows for higher power dissipation without the need for external heatsinks in many applications.
