I see that there is a version of the NCP1117ST50T3G Voltage Regulator for the UNO available in a Low Power version with the part number NCP1117LPST50T3G. Can that be used as a direct replacement for the 5V Voltage Regulator or best just to use the regular one? Thanks

Can Low Power version of NCP1117ST50T3G VR be used?

The pinout looks the same.

Why would you want to go with the LP version ?
