LM2930T-5.0 datasheet by Texas Instruments

LM2930T-5.0 Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

• What is the maximum input voltage that can be applied to the LM2930T-5.0?
  The maximum input voltage that can be applied to the LM2930T-5.0 is 26V, but it's recommended to keep it below 15V for optimal performance and to prevent overheating.
• Can I use the LM2930T-5.0 as a variable voltage regulator?
  No, the LM2930T-5.0 is a fixed voltage regulator, and its output voltage is fixed at 5.0V. If you need a variable voltage regulator, you should consider a different part, such as the LM317.
• What is the minimum input voltage required for the LM2930T-5.0 to function properly?
  The minimum input voltage required for the LM2930T-5.0 to function properly is 7.2V, but it's recommended to keep it above 7.5V for optimal performance.
• Can I use the LM2930T-5.0 in a high-current application?
  The LM2930T-5.0 is rated for a maximum output current of 500mA, but it's recommended to keep the output current below 300mA for optimal performance and to prevent overheating. If you need a higher output current, you should consider a different part, such as the LM2940.
• Does the LM2930T-5.0 have built-in short-circuit protection?
  Yes, the LM2930T-5.0 has built-in short-circuit protection, which limits the output current to prevent damage in case of a short circuit.
