LM2940SX-12 Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

  • The maximum input voltage that can be applied to the LM2940SX-12 is 26V, but it's recommended to keep it below 20V for reliable operation.

  • The LM2940SX-12 is rated for operation up to 125°C, but its performance may degrade at high temperatures. It's recommended to derate the output current and voltage at high temperatures.

  • To ensure stability, make sure to use a minimum output capacitance of 22uF, and keep the input and output capacitors close to the device. Also, avoid using long leads or wires that can cause oscillations.

  • No, the LM2940SX-12 is a positive voltage regulator and cannot be used as a negative voltage regulator. For negative voltage regulation, consider using a different device such as the LM2990.

  • The minimum input voltage required for the LM2940SX-12 to operate is around 14.5V, but it's recommended to keep it above 15V for reliable operation.
