Simplified Application
A common ground is required between the input and
the output voltages. The input voltage must remain
typically 1.7 V above the output voltage even during
the low point on the input ripple voltage.
XX these two digits of the type number indicate
voltage.
*C
in is required if regulator is located an
appreciable distance from power supply filter.
** CO is not needed for stability; however , it does
improve transient response. If needed, use a
0.1 µF ceramic disc.

This family of fixed voltage regulators are monolithic integrated circuits
capable of driving loads in excess of 1.0 A. These three–terminal regulators
employ internal current limiting, thermal shutdown, and safe–area
compensation. Devices are available with improved specifications, including
a 2% output voltage tolerance, on A–suffix 5.0, 12 and 15 V device types.
Although designed primarily as a fixed voltage regulator, these devices
can be used with external components to obtain adjustable voltages and
currents. This series of devices can be used with a series–pass transistor to
boost output current capability at the nominal output voltage.

DEFINITIONS
Line Regulation – The change in output voltage for a
change in the input voltage. The measurement is made
under conditions of low dissipation or by using pulse
techniques such that the average chip temperature is not
significantly affected.
Load Regulation – The change in output voltage for a
change in load current at constant chip temperature.
Maximum Power Dissipation – The maximum total device
dissipation for which the regulator will operate within
specifications.
Quiescent Current – That part of the input current that is not
delivered to the load.
Output Noise Voltage – The rms AC voltage at the output,
with constant load and no input ripple, measured over a
specified frequency range.

VOLTAGE REGULATOR PERFORMANCE
The performance of a voltage regulator is specified by its
immunity to changes in load, input voltage, power dissipation,
and temperature. Line and load regulation are tested with a
pulse of short duration (< 100 µs) and are strictly a function of
electrical gain. However, pulse widths of longer duration
(> 1.0 ms) are sufficient to affect temperature gradients
across the die. These temperature gradients can cause a
change in the output voltage, in addition to changes caused
by line and load regulation. Longer pulse widths and thermal
gradients make it desirable to specify thermal regulation.
Thermal regulation is defined as the change in output
voltage caused by a change in dissipated power for a
specified time, and is expressed as a percentage output
voltage change per watt. The change in dissipated power can
be caused by a change in either input voltage or the load
current. Thermal regulation is a function of IC layout and die
attach techniques, and usually occurs within 10 ms of a
change in power dissipation. After 10 ms, additional changes
in the output voltage are due to the temperature coefficient of
the device.
Figure 1 shows the line and thermal regulation response of
a typical LM340A T–5.0 to a 10 W input pulse. The variation of
the output voltage due to line regulation is labeled À and the
thermal regulation component is labeled Á. Figure 2 shows
the load and thermal regulation response of a typical
LM340AT–5.0 to a 15 W load pulse. The output voltage
variation due to load regulation is labeled À and the thermal
regulation component is labeled Á.

APPLICATIONS INFORMATION
Design Considerations
The LM340, A series of fixed voltage regulators are
designed with Thermal Overload Protection that shuts down
the circuit when subjected to an excessive power overload
condition, Internal Short Circuit Protection that limits the
maximum current the circuit will pass, and Output Transistor
Safe–Area Compensation that reduces the output short
circuit current as the voltage across the pass transistor is
increased.
In many low current applications, compensation
capacitors are not required. However , it is recommended that
the regulator input be bypassed with a capacitor if the
regulator is connected to the power supply filter with long wire
lengths, or if the output load capacitance is large. An input
bypass capacitor should be selected to provide good
high–frequency characteristics to insure stable operation
under all load conditions. A 0.33 µF or larger tantalum, mylar ,
or other capacitor having low internal impedance at high
frequencies should be chosen. The bypass capacitor should
be mounted with the shortest possible leads directly across
the regulators input terminals. Normally good construction
techniques should be used to minimize ground loops and
lead resistance drops since the regulator has no external
sense lead.

These regulators can also be used as a current source when
connected as above. In order to minimize dissipation the LM340–5.0
is chosen in this application. Resistor R determines the current as
follows:
IO = + IQ

1.5 mA over line and load changes
For example, a 1 A current source would require R to be a 5
,
10 W resistor and the output voltage compliance would be the input
voltage less 7.0 V.

The addition of an operational amplifier allows adjustment to higher or

The LM340, A series can be current boosted with a PNP transistor . The
MJ2955 provides current to 5.0 A. Resistor R in conjuction with the VBE
of the PNP determines when the pass transistor begins conducting; this
circuit is not short circuit proof. Input–output differential voltage
minimum is increased by VBE of the pass transistor.

The circuit of Figure 17 can be modified to provide supply protection
against short circuits by adding a short circuit sense resistor , RSC, and
an additional PNP transistor . The current sensing PNP must be able to
handle the short circuit current of the three–terminal regulator.
Therefore, 4.0 A plastic power transistor is specified.
