The L4941 is a three terminal 5 V positive regulator available in TO-220, SOT-82, SOT-194 and DPAK packages, making it useful in a wide range of the industrial and consumer applications. Thanks to its very low input/output voltage drop, this device is particularly suitable for battery powered equipment, reducing consumption and prolonging battery life. It employs internal current limiting, antisaturation circuit, thermal shut-down and safe area protection.
