DESCRIPTION
The UTC LM2940is a low dropout regulator designed to provide output current up to 1A with a typically 500mV dropout Voltage and a maximum of 1V. It is capable of reducing the ground current when the differential between the input voltage and the output voltage outrun 3V. 

FEATURES
* 500mV Typically Dropout at 1A
* Output Current in Excess of 1A
* Low Quiescent Current
* Reversed-Battery Protection
* Current Limit and Thermal Shutdown.
* Mirror Image Insertion Protection
