The LM2990 is a three-terminal, low dropout, 1-ampere negative voltage regulator available with a fixed output voltage of −15V. The LM2990 uses new circuit design techniques to provide low dropout and low quiescent current. The dropout voltage at 1A load current is typically 0.6V and a guaranteed
worst-case maximum of 1V over the entire operating temperature range.
The quiescent current is typically 1 mA with a 1A load current and an input-output voltage differential greater than 3V. A unique circuit design of the internal bias supply limits the quiescent current to only 9 mA (typical) when the regulator is in the dropout mode (VOUT − VIN ≤ 3V). Output voltage accuracy is guaranteed to ±5% overload and temperature extremes.
