Micropower 150 mA Low-Noise Ultra Low-Dropout

Regulator in SOT-23 and micro SMD Packages

Designed for Use with Very Low ESR Output Capacitors

General Description

The LP2985 is a 150 mA, fixed-output voltage regulator de-

signed to provide ultra low-dropout and low noise in battery

powered applications.

Using an optimized VIP® (Vertically Integrated PNP) process,

the LP2985 delivers unequalled performance in all specifica-

tions critical to battery-powered designs:

Dropout Voltage: Typically 300 mV @ 150 mA load, and

7 mV @ 1 mA load.

Ground Pin Current: Typically 850 µA @ 150 mA load, and

75 µA @ 1 mA load.

Enhanced Stability: The LP2985 is stable with output ca-

pacitor ESR as low as 5 mΩ, which allows the use of ceramic

capacitors on the output.

Sleep Mode: Less than 1 µA quiescent current when ON/OFF

pin is pulled low.

Smallest Possible Size: SOT-23 and micro SMD packages

use absolute minimum board space.

Precision Output: 1% tolerance output voltages available (A

grade).

Low Noise: By adding a 10 nF bypass capacitor, output noise

can be reduced to 30 µV (typical).

Multiple voltage options, from 2.5V to 5.0V, are available as

standard products. Consult factory for custom voltages.

Note 1: “Absolute Maximum Ratings” indicate limits beyond which damage to the component may occur. Electrical specifications do not apply when operating

the device outside of its rated operating conditions.

Note 2: The ESD rating of pins 3 and 4 for the SOT-23 package, or pins 5 and 2 for the micro SMD package, is 1 kV.

Note 3: The maximum allowable power dissipation is a function of the maximum junction temperature, TJ(MAX), the junction-to-ambient thermal resistance, θJ-

A, and the ambient temperature, TA. The maximum allowable power dissipation at any ambient temperture is calculated using:

Where the value of θJ-A for the SOT-23 package is 220°C/W in a typical PC board mounting and the micro SMD package is 225°C/W. Exceeding the maximum

allowable dissipation will cause excessive die temperature, and the regulator will go into thermal shutdown.

Note 4: For 12V option, output voltage survival: -0.3 to +16V. If used in a dual-supply system where the regulator load is returned to a negative supply, the LP2985

output must be diode-clamped to ground.

Note 5: The output PNP structure contains a diode between the VIN to VOUT terminals that is normally reverse-biased. Reversing the polarity from VIN to VOUT

will turn on this diode.

Note 6: Limits are 100% production tested at 25°C. Limits over the operating temperature range are guaranteed through correlation using Statistical Quality

Control (SQC) methods. The limits are used to calculate National's Average Outgoing Quality Level (AOQL).

Note 7: Dropout voltage is defined as the input to output differential at which the output voltage drops 100 mV below the value measured with a 1V differential.

Note 8: The ON/OFF input must be properly driven to prevent possible misoperation. For details, refer to Application Hints.

Note 9: The LP2985 has foldback current limiting which allows a high peak current when VOUT > 0.5V, and then reduces the maximum output current as VOUT is

forced to ground (see Typical Performance Characteristics curves).

Note 10: Exposing the micro SMD device to direct sunlight will cause misoperation. See Application Hints for additional information.

LP2985

Application Hints

EXTERNAL CAPACITORS

Like any low-dropout regulator, the LP2985 requires external

capacitors for regulator stability. These capacitors must be

correctly selected for good performance.

Input Capacitor

An input capacitor whose capacitance is ≥ 1 µF is required

between the LP2985 input and ground (the amount of capac-

itance may be increased without limit).

This capacitor must be located a distance of not more than 1

cm from the input pin and returned to a clean analog ground.

Any good quality ceramic, tantalum, or film capacitor may be

used at the input.

Important: Tantalum capacitors can suffer catastrophic fail-

ure due to surge current when connected to a low-impedance

source of power (like a battery or very large capacitor). If a

Tantalum capacitor is used at the input, it must be guaranteed

by the manufacturer to have a surge current rating sufficient

for the application.

There are no requirements for ESR on the input capacitor, but

tolerance and temperature coefficient must be considered

when selecting the capacitor to ensure the capacitance will

be ≥ 1 µF over the entire operating temperature range.

Output Capacitor

The LP2985 is designed specifically to work with ceramic out-

put capacitors, utilizing circuitry which allows the regulator to

be stable across the entire range of output current with an

output capacitor whose ESR is as low as 5 mΩ. It may also

be possible to use Tantalum or film capacitors at the output,

but these are not as attractive for reasons of size and cost

(see next section Capacitor Characteristics).

The output capacitor must meet the requirement for minimum

amount of capacitance and also have an ESR (equivalent se-

ries resistance) value which is within the stable range. Curves

are provided which show the stable ESR range as a function

of load current (see ESR graph below).

10014007

Important: The output capacitor must maintain its ESR within

the stable region over the full operating temperature range of

the application to assure stability.

The LP2985 requires a minimum of 2.2 µF on the output (out-

put capacitor size can be increased without limit).

It is important to remember that capacitor tolerance and vari-

ation with temperature must be taken into consideration when

selecting an output capacitor so that the minimum required

amount of output capacitance is provided over the full oper-

ating temperature range. It should be noted that ceramic

capacitors can exhibit large changes in capacitance with tem-

perature (see next section, Capacitor Characteristics).

The output capacitor must be located not more than 1 cm from

the output pin and returned to a clean analog ground.

Noise Bypass Capacitor

Connecting a 10 nF capacitor to the Bypass pin significantly

reduces noise on the regulator output. It should be noted that

the capacitor is connected directly to a high-impedance circuit

in the bandgap reference.

Because this circuit has only a few microamperes flowing in

it, any significant loading on this node will cause a change in

the regulated output voltage. For this reason, DC leakage

current through the noise bypass capacitor must never ex-

ceed 100 nA, and should be kept as low as possible for best

output voltage accuracy.

The types of capacitors best suited for the noise bypass ca-

pacitor are ceramic and film. High-quality ceramic capacitors

with either NPO or COG dielectric typically have very low

leakage. 10 nF polypropolene and polycarbonate film capac-

itors are available in small surface-mount packages and typ-

ically have extremely low leakage current.

CAPACITOR CHARACTERISTICS

The LP2985 was designed to work with ceramic capacitors

on the output to take advantage of the benefits they offer: for

capacitance values in the 2.2 µF to 4.7 µF range, ceramics

are the least expensive and also have the lowest ESR values

(which makes them best for eliminating high-frequency

noise). The ESR of a typical 2.2 µF ceramic capacitor is in the

range of 10 mΩ to 20 mΩ, which easily meets the ESR limits

required for stability by the LP2985.

One disadvantage of ceramic capacitors is that their capaci-

tance can vary with temperature. Most large value ceramic

capacitors (≥ 2.2 µF) are manufactured with the Z5U or Y5V

temperature characteristic, which results in the capacitance

dropping by more than 50% as the temperature goes from 25°

C to 85°C.

This could cause problems if a 2.2 µF capacitor were used on

the output since it will drop down to approximately 1 µF at high

ambient temperatures (which could cause the LM2985 to os-

cillate). If Z5U or Y5V capacitors are used on the output, a

minimum capacitance value of 4.7 µF must be observed.

A better choice for temperature coefficient in ceramic capac-

itors is X7R, which holds the capacitance within ±15%. Un-

fortunately, the larger values of capacitance are not offered

by all manufacturers in the X7R dielectric.

Tantalum

Tantalum capacitors are less desirable than ceramics for use

as output capacitors because they are more expensive when

comparing equivalent capacitance and voltage ratings in the

1 µF to 4.7 µF range.

Another important consideration is that Tantalum capacitors

have higher ESR values than equivalent size ceramics. This

means that while it may be possible to find a Tantalum ca-

pacitor with an ESR value within the stable range, it would

have to be larger in capacitance (which means bigger and

more costly) than a ceramic capacitor with the same ESR

value.

It should also be noted that the ESR of a typical Tantalum will

increase about 2:1 as the temperature goes from 25°C down

to −40°C, so some guard band must be allowed.

LP2985

On/Off Input Operation

The LP2985 is shut off by driving the ON/OFF input low, and

turned on by pulling it high. If this feature is not to be used,

the ON/OFF input should be tied to VIN to keep the regulator

output on at all times.

To assure proper operation, the signal source used to drive

the ON/OFF input must be able to swing above and below the

specified turn-on/turn-off voltage thresholds listed in the Elec-

trical Characteristics section under VON/OFF. To prevent mis-

operation, the turn-on (and turn-off) voltage signals applied to

the ON/OFF input must have a slew rate which is

≥ 40 mV/µs.

Caution: the regulator output voltage can not be guaranteed

if a slow-moving AC (or DC) signal is applied that is in the

range between the specified turn-on and turn-off voltages list-

ed under the electrical specification VON/OFF (see Electrical

Characteristics).

REVERSE INPUT-OUTPUT VOLTAGE

The PNP power transistor used as the pass element in the

LP2985 has an inherent diode connected between the regu-

lator output and input. During normal operation (where the

input voltage is higher than the output) this diode is reverse-

biased.

10014054

FIGURE 1. Reverse Current Path

However, if the output is pulled above the input, this diode will

turn ON and current will flow into the regulator output. In such

cases, a parasitic SCR can latch which will allow a high cur-

rent to flow into VIN (and out the ground pin), which can

damage the part.

In any application where the output may be pulled above the

input, an external Schottky diode must be connected from

VIN to VOUT (cathode on VIN, anode on VOUT), to limit the re-

verse voltage across the LP2985 to 0.3V (see Absolute Max-

FIGURE 2. Reverse Current Protection

MICRO SMD MOUNTING

The micro SMD package requires specific mounting tech-

niques which are detailed in National Semiconductor Appli-

cation Note # 1112. Referring to the section Surface Mount

Technology (SMT) Assembly Considerations, it should be

noted that the pad style which must be used with the 5-pin

package is the NSMD (non-solder mask defined) type.

For best results during assembly, alignment ordinals on the

PC board may be used to facilitate placement of the micro

SMD device.

MICRO SMD LIGHT SENSITIVITY

Exposing the micro SMD device to direct sunlight will cause

misoperation of the device. Light sources such as Halogen

lamps can also affect electrical performance if brought near

to the device.

The wavelenghts which have the most detrimental effect are

reds and infra-reds, which means that the fluorescent lighting

used inside most buildings has very little effect on perfor-

mance. A micro SMD test board was brought to within 1 cm

of a fluorescent desk lamp and the effect on the regulated

output voltage was negligible, showing a deviation of less

than 0.1% from nominal.
