Application Hints
It should also be noted that the ESR of a typical Tantalum will
increase about 2:1 as the temperature goes from 25˚C down
to −40˚C, so some guard band must be allowed.
ON/OFF INPUT OPERATION
The LP2992 is shut off by driving the ON/OFF input low, and
turned on by pulling it high. If this feature is not to be used,
the ON/OFF input should be tied to V
output on at all times.
To assure proper operation, the signal source used to drive
the ON/OFF input must be able to swing above and below
the specified turn-on/turn-off voltage thresholds listed in the
Electrical Characteristics section under V
mis-operation, the turn-on (and turn-off) voltage signals ap-
plied to the ON/OFF input must have a slew rate which is
≥ 40 mV/µs.
Caution: the regulator output voltage can not be guaranteed
if a slow-moving AC (or DC) signal is applied that is in the
range between the specified turn-on and turn-off voltages
listed under the electrical specification V
cal Characteristics).
REVERSE INPUT-OUTPUT VOLTAGE
The PNP power transistor used as the pass element in the
LP2992 has an inherent diode connected between the regu-
lator output and input. During normal operation (where the
input voltage is higher than the output) this diode is reverse-
biased.

However, if the output is pulled above the input, this diode
will turn ON and current will flow into the regulator output. In
such cases, a parasitic SCR can latch which will allow a high
current to flow into V

In any application where the output may be pulled above the
input, an external Schottky diode must be connected from

LLP MOUNTING
The LLP package requires specific mounting techniques
which are detailed in National Semiconductor Application
Note # 1187. Referring to the section PCB Design Recom-
mendations, it should be noted that the pad style which
should be used with the LLP package is the NSMD (non-
solder mask defined) type.
