Product Overview
The LM340MP-5.0/NOPB from Texas Instruments is a 1.5A, 35V input, fixed 5V positive linear voltage regulator in a SOT-223 package. Part of the legendary LM340/7805 family, it features internal current limiting, thermal shutdown, and safe-area compensation, making it essentially indestructible with adequate heatsinking. Output voltage tolerance is +/-2% at 25°C.
