LM2991
Negative Low Dropout Adjustable Regulator
General Description Features
The LM2991 is a low dropout adjustable negative regulator n Output voltage adjustable from -3V to -24V, typically
with a output voltage range between -3V to -24V. The -2V to -25V
LM2991 provides up to 1A of load current and features a On n Output current in excess of 1A
