LM2936MMX-5.0/NOPB

Voltage Regulators - Linear, Low Drop Out (LDO) Regulators Overview

The LM2936MMX-5.0/NOPB is a fixed-output low-dropout (LDO) voltage regulator manufactured by Texas Instruments. It provides a stable 5.0 V output with a maximum load current of 50 mA. The device features an ultra-low quiescent current of 20 µA, making it suitable for battery-powered applications. It operates within an input voltage range up to 40 V and maintains regulation with a typical dropout voltage of 200 mV at full load. The component is housed in an 8-pin VSSOP package and supports surface-mount installation. It functions reliably across an extended temperature range from -40°C to +125°C.

Voltage Regulators - Linear, Low Drop Out (LDO) Regulators Procurement Notes

Verify the complete part number including the suffix /NOPB to confirm lead-free compliance and RoHS status. Ensure the ordering code matches the specific VSSOP-8 package variant. Cross-reference the manufacturer datasheet revision to confirm electrical characteristics align with your design requirements before finalizing procurement.

Voltage Regulators - Linear, Low Drop Out (LDO) Regulators Selection Notes

Select this component when a fixed 5.0 V rail is required with minimal standby current draw. The 40 V input rating allows direct connection to higher voltage bus lines without pre-regulation. Consider the VSSOP-8 package constraints for PCB layout and thermal dissipation. Verify that the 50 mA output current meets the peak demand of the downstream circuitry.

Voltage Regulators - Linear, Low Drop Out (LDO) Regulators Part Context

This device belongs to the LM2936 family of LDO regulators designed for high-voltage, low-current applications. The MMX suffix indicates the tape-and-reel packaging format for automated assembly. The /NOPB designation confirms the absence of halogenated flame retardants and lead-free construction, adhering to modern environmental standards.

Voltage Regulators - Linear, Low Drop Out (LDO) Regulators Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes include other LM2936 variants with different output voltages or packages, such as LM2936MM-3.3/NOPB for 3.3 V output. For equivalent performance in a different package, consider the LM2936DT series. Always verify pin compatibility and thermal characteristics when substituting.
