15 V fixed rail for industrial and automotive aux supplies
The LM2937ESX-15: Built-in protection against over-temperature, reverse polarity, and short circuit reduces external component count — no need for a separate protection diode or fuse on the 15 V rail in most designs.
Procurement must go through the independent surplus and broker channel. Stock that surfaces after an official EOL announcement should be date-code verified — the PCN bulletin for the LM2937 family is the reference for authenticating production lots.
26 V input ceiling — plan for the pre-regulator
Maximum input voltage is 26 V. The 2 mA quiescent current (20 mA max supply current) keeps the overhead low for always-on rails.
