... The LX8940 is a 5V, low dropout, low quiescent current regulator rated for 1A of output current. It can regulate with as low as 0.4V headroom between the input and output voltages, thus minimizing power dissipation. In addition, it can be used in applications where worst IMPORTANT: For the most current data, consult MICROSEMI’ ...

... TM The advantages of using a low-dropout regulator such as the LX8940 is the need for less “headroom” for full regulation, and the inherent reverse polarity protection provided by the PNP output device. A typical NPN regulator design requires an input to output differential of approximately two volts minimum. This is due to the 2Vbe + Vcesat of the NPN Darlington used in the output, coupled with the voltage drop across the current limit resistor ...
