LM2984 Microprocessor Power Supply System
General Description
The LM2984 positive voltage
regulator features three independent and tracking outputs capable of delivering the power for logic circuits, peripheral sensors and standby memory in a typical microprocessor system. The LM2984 includes circuitry which monitors both its own high-current output and also an external µP. If any error conditions are sensed in either, a reset error flag is set and maintained until the malfunction terminates. Since these functions are included in the same package with the three
regulators, a great saving in board space can be realized in the typical microprocessor system. The LM2984 also features very low dropout voltages on each of its three
regulator outputs (0.6V at the rated output current). Furthermore, the quiescent current can be reduced to 1 mA in the standby mode. Designed also for vehicular applications, the LM2984 and all regulated circuitry are protected from reverse battery installations or 2-battery jumps. Familiar
regulator features such as short circuit and thermal overload protection are also provided. Fixed outputs of 5V are available in the plastic TO-220 power package.
