It can regulate with as low as 0.4V headroom between the input and output voltages, thus minimizing power dissipation. In addition, it can be used in applications where worst case supplies require a low input-output differential to maintain regulation. This feature makes it ideal for computer monitors that have to comply with energy-efficient / "Green PC" programs, where the input voltage drops to only a few tenths of a volt above the output when power supply enters sleep-mode operation.

A typical NPN regulator design requires an input to output differential of approximately two volts minimum. This is due to the 2Vbe + Vcesat of the NPN Darlington used in the output, coupled with the voltage drop across the current limit resistor. In contrast, the “PNP Regulator” uses a single series pass transistor with its single Vcesat, thus the lower input to output voltage differential or dropout voltage. In some applications the regulator output voltage is used not only as a power supply but also as a voltage reference for control systems. In such cases not just the temperature stability of the output is important but also the initial accuracy. LX8940 fills this need as the internal bandgap reference is trimmed allowing a typical output voltage tolerance of ±1%. EXTERNAL CAPACITORS To stabilize the outputs and prevent oscillation (perhaps by many volts) external capacitors are required. The minimum recommended value for the output capacitors is 10µF, although the actual size and type will likely vary according to the particular application, e.g., operating temperature range and load. Another consideration is the effective series resistance (ESR) of the capacitor. Capacitor ESR will vary by manufacturer. Consequently, some evaluation may be required to determine the minimum value of the output capacitors. Generally worst case occurs at the maximum load and minimum ambient temperature. The size of the output capacitor can be increased to any value above the minimum. One possible advantage of this would be to maintain the output voltage during brief periods of negative input transients The output capacitors chosen should be rated for the full range of ambient temperature over which the circuit will be exposed and expected to operate. For example, many aluminum type electrolytic capacitors change values at cold temperatures. The effective capacitance is reduced and regulator stability is effected. Tantalum capacitors are a good choice for these types of environments. OUTPUT PROTECTION The output features fault protection against overvoltage as well as a thermal shutdown feature. If the input voltage rises above 33V (load dump), the output shuts down automatically. The internal circuitry is thus protected and the IC is able to survive higher voltage transients than might otherwise be expected. The thermal shutdown output effectively guards against overheating of the die and protects the device from being damaged.
