How can I configure the LP2954 for 2.5V output and 1A load using an external pass transistor?
Although it can be done, it is not generally recommended to use an external pass transistor to boost the LP2954 output current capabilities to 1A. This design approach yields an inefficient regulator and the pass device will not benefit from the LP2954 thermal and overload potection features. The use of the LM2941, which is also an LDO and rated at 1A, is a much better and more practical solution.
