Introduction to L4940V5

• The L4940 V5 is three pins device that is called a positive regulator and comes in T0-220 packaging.
• It has many voltage ranges so used for different voltage applications.

• It is used for battery systems since has fewer power losses at input and output so increases the battery operating life. This module also has an inner current limiting circuit, antisaturation circuit safe area protection, and thermal shutdown

L4940V5 Pinout

• It has three pins described here
• Input: Here input supply is provided
• GND: the ground is linked here
• Output: Output volts are getting from this point

Working of L4940V5

• It is fewer volts consuming about five volts voltage regulator. Some voltage regulations needed that their input must be larger than the output volts to get the accurate regulation as output depends on the NPN configuration.
• In this voltage regulator, the output configuration is PNP which denotes that voltage drops from input to output so less volts loss can get.
• It shows that the regulation device can work if input volts are high from the output. It is used for battery operations.
• These regulators can be unstable so output decoupling connects carefully.
