Each device in the family is stable with a small 1-F ceramic capacitor on the output. The family uses an advanced, proprietary BiCMOS fabrication process to yield extremely low dropout voltages (e.g., 250 mV at 1 A). Each device achieves fast start-up times (approximately 50 s with a 0.001-F bypass capacitor) while consuming very low quiescent current (265 A typical). Moreover, when the device is placed in standby mode, the supply current is reduced to less than 1 A. The TPS79630 exhibits approximately 40 VRMS of output voltage noise at 3.0-V output, with a 0.1-F bypass capacitor. Applications with analog components that are noise sensitive, such as portable RF electronics, benefit from the high PSRR, low noise features, and the fast response time.

The device features extremely low dropout voltages, high PSRR, ultralow output noise, low quiescent current (265 A typically), and enable input to reduce supply currents to less than 1 A when the regulator is turned off. A typical application circuit is shown in Figure 22. VIN IN VOUT OUT TPS796xx 2.2F EN GND 1 F NR 0.01F Figure 22. Typical Application Circuit External Capacitor Requirements Although not required, it is good analog design practice to place a 0.1-F -- 2.2-F capacitor near the input of the regulator to counteract reactive input sources. A 2.2-F or larger ceramic input bypass capacitor, connected between IN and GND and located close to the TPS796xx, is required for stability and improves transient response, noise rejection, and ripple rejection. A higher-value input capacitor may be necessary if large, fast-rise-time load transients are anticipated and the device is located several inches from the power source. Like most low dropout regulators, the TPS796xx requires an output capacitor connected between OUT and GND to stabilize the internal control loop. The minimum recommended capacitance is 1 F. Any 1 F or larger ceramic capacitor is suitable. The internal voltage reference is a key source of noise in an LDO regulator. The TPS796xx has an NR pin which is connected to the voltage reference through a 250-k internal resistor. The 250-k internal resistor, in conjunction with an external bypass capacitor connected to the NR pin, creates a low-pass filter to reduce the voltage reference noise and, therefore, the noise at the regulator output. In order for the regulator to operate properly, the current flow out of the NR pin must be at a minimum, because any leakage current creates an IR drop across the internal resistor, thus creating an output error. Therefore, the bypass capacitor must have minimal leakage current. The bypass capacitor should be no more than 0.1-F in order to ensure that it is fully charged during the quickstart time provided by the internal switch shown in the functional block diagram. 8 For example, the TPS79630 exhibits 40 VRMS of output voltage noise using a 0.1-F ceramic bypass capacitor and a 10-F ceramic output capacitor. Note that the output starts up slower as the bypass capacitance increases due to the RC time constant at the bypass pin that is created by the internal 250-k resistor and external capacitor. Board Layout Recommendation to Improve PSRR and Noise Performance To improve ac measurements like PSRR, output noise, and transient response, it is recommended that the board be designed with separate ground planes for VIN and VOUT, with each ground plane connected only at the ground pin of the device. In addition, the ground connection for the bypass capacitor should connect directly to the ground pin of the device. Regulator Mounting The tab of the SOT223-6 package is electrically connected to ground. For best thermal performance, the tab of the surface-mount version should be soldered directly to a circuit-board copper area. Increasing the copper area improves heat dissipation. Solder pad footprint recommendations for the devices are presented in an application bulletin Solder Pad Recommendations for Surface-Mount Devices, literature number AB-132, available for download from the TI web site (www.ti.com). Programming the TPS79601 Adjustable LDO Regulator The output voltage of the TPS79601 adjustable regulator is programmed using an external resistor divider as shown in Figure 28. The output voltage is calculated using Equation 1: V OUT VREF 1 R1 R2 (1) where: * VREF = 1.2246 V typ (the internal reference voltage) Resistors R1 and R2 should be chosen for approximately 40-A divider current. Lower value resistors can be used for improved noise performance, but the device wastes more power. Higher values should be avoided, as leakage current at FB increases the output voltage error. TPS796xx www.ti.com SLVS351G - SEPTEMBER 2002 - REVISED DECEMBER 2005 Regulator Protection The recommended design procedure is to choose R2 = 30.1 k to set the divider current at 40 A, C1 = 15 pF for stability, and then calculate R1 using Equation 2: R1 VV OUT REF The TPS796xx PMOS-pass transistor has a built-in back diode that conducts reverse current when the input voltage drops below the output voltage (e.g., during power-down). Current is conducted from the output to the input and is not internally limited. If extended reverse voltage operation is anticipated, external limiting might be appropriate. 1 R2 (2) In order to improve the stability of the adjustable version, it is suggested that a small compensation capacitor be placed between OUT and FB. The approximate value of this capacitor can be calculated as Equation 3: (3 x 10 -7) x (R1 R2) C1 (R1 x R2) (3) The TPS796xx features internal current limiting and thermal protection. During normal operation, the TPS796xx limits output current to approximately 2.8 A. When current limiting engages, the output voltage scales back linearly until the overcurrent condition ends. While current limiting is designed to prevent gross device failure, care should be taken not to exceed the power dissipation ratings of the package. If the temperature of the device exceeds approximately 165C, thermal-protection circuitry shuts it down. Once the device has cooled down to below approximately 140C, regulator operation resumes. The suggested value of this capacitor for several resistor ratios is shown in the table below (see Figure 23). If this capacitor is not used (such as in a unity-gain configuration) then the minimum recommended output capacitor is 2.2 F instead of 1 F.

TPS79601 Adjustable LDO Regulator Programming 9 TPS796xx www.ti.com SLVS351G - SEPTEMBER 2002 - REVISED DECEMBER 2005 THERMAL INFORMATION The amount of heat that an LDO linear regulator generates is directly proportional to the amount of power it dissipates during operation. All integrated circuits have a maximum allowable junction temperature (TJmax) above which normal operation is not assured. A system designer must design the operating environment so that the operating junction temperature (TJ) does not exceed the maximum junction temperature (TJmax). The two main environmental variables that a designer can use to improve thermal performance are air flow and external heatsinks. The purpose of this information is to aid the designer in determining the proper operating environment for a linear regulator that is operating at a specific power level. In general, the maximum expected power (PD(max)) consumed by a linear regulator is computed as Equation 4: P D max V IN(avg) V OUT(avg) I OUT(avg)V IN(avg) I (Q) (4) where: * VIN(avg) is the average input voltage. * VOUT(avg) is the average output voltage. * IOUT(avg) is the average output current. * I(Q) is the quiescent current. For most TI LDO regulators, the quiescent current is insignificant compared to the average output current; therefore, the term VIN(avg) x I(Q) can be neglected. The operating junction temperature is computed by adding the ambient temperature (TA) and the A CIRCUIT BOARD COPPER AREA increase in temperature due to the regulator's power dissipation. The temperature rise is computed by multiplying the maximum expected power dissipation by the sum of the thermal resistances between the junction and the case (RJC), the case to heatsink (RCS), and the heatsink to ambient (RSA). Thermal resistances are measures of how effectively an object dissipates heat. Typically, the larger the device, the more surface area available for power dissipation and the lower the object's thermal resistance. Figure 24 illustrates these thermal resistances for (a) a SOT223 package mounted in a JEDEC low-K board, and (b) a DDPAK package mounted on a JEDEC high-K board. Equation 5 summarizes the computation: T J T PDmax x R R R A JC CS SA (5) The RJC is specific to each regulator as determined by its package, lead frame, and die size provided in the regulator's data sheet. The RSA is a function of the type and size of heatsink. For example, black body radiator type heatsinks can have RCS values ranging from 5C/W for very large heatsinks to 50C/W for very small heatsinks. The RCS is a function of how the package is attached to the heatsink. For example, if a thermal compound is used to attach a heatsink to a SOT223 package, RCS of 1C/W is reasonable.

Thermal Resistances 10 DDPAK Package (b) C TPS796xx www.ti.com SLVS351G - SEPTEMBER 2002 - REVISED DECEMBER 2005 Equation 5 simplifies into Equation 6: T T PDmax x R J A JA Rearranging Equation 6 gives Equation 7: T -T R J A JA P max D (6) (7) Using Equation 6 and the computer model generated curves shown in Figure 25 and Figure 28, a designer can quickly compute the required heatsink thermal resistance/board area for a given ambient temperature, power dissipation, and operating environment. DDPAK Power Dissipation The DDPAK package provides an effective means of managing power dissipation in surface mount applications. The DDPAK package dimensions are provided in the Mechanical Data section at the end of the data sheet. The addition of a copper plane directly underneath the DDPAK package enhances the thermal performance of the package. To illustrate, the TPS72525 in a DDPAK package was chosen. For this example, the average input voltage is 5 V, the output voltage is 2.5 V, the average output current is 1 A, the ambient temperature 55C, the air flow is 150 LFM, and the operating environment is the same as documented below. Neglecting the quiescent current, the maximum average power is calculated as Equation 8: P Dmax (5 2.5) V x 1 A 2.5 W (8) Substituting TJmax for TJ into Equation 6 gives Equation 9: R JA max (125 55)C2.5 W 28CW (9) From Figure 25, DDPAK Thermal Resistance vs Copper Heatsink Area, the ground plane needs to be 1 cm2 for the part to dissipate 2.5 W. The operating environment used in the computer model to construct Figure 25 consisted of a standard JEDEC High-K board (2S2P) with a 1 oz. internal copper plane and ground plane. The package is soldered to a 2 oz. copper pad. The pad is tied through thermal vias to the 1 oz. ground plane. Figure 26 shows the side view of the operating environment used in the computer model. 40 C/W No Air Flow R JA - Thermal Resistance - Even if no external black body radiator type heatsink is attached to the package, the board on which the regulator is mounted provides some heatsinking through the pin solder connections. Some packages, like the DDPAK and SOT223 packages, use a copper plane underneath the package or the circuit board's ground plane for additional heatsinking to improve their thermal performance. Computer-aided thermal modeling can be used to compute very accurate approximations of an integrated circuit's thermal performance in different operating environments (e.g., different types of circuit boards, different types and sizes of heatsinks, and different air flows, etc.). Using these models, the three thermal resistances can be combined into one thermal resistance between junction and ambient (RJA). This RJA is valid only for the specific operating environment used in the computer model. 35 150 LFM 30 250 LFM 25 20 15 0.1 1 10 Copper Heatsink Area - cm2 100 Figure 25.

Maximum Power Dissipation vs Copper Heatsink Area SOT223 Power Dissipation The SOT223 package provides an effective means of managing power dissipation in surface mount applications. The SOT223 package dimensions are provided in the Mechanical Data section at the end of the data sheet. The addition of a copper plane directly underneath the SOT223 package enhances the thermal performance of the package. To illustrate, the TPS72525 in a SOT223 package was chosen. For this example, the average input voltage is 3.3 V, the output voltage is 2.5 V, the average output current is 1 A, the ambient temperature 55C, no air flow is present, and the operating environment is the same as documented below. Neglecting the quiescent current, the maximum average power is calculated as Equation 10: P Dmax (3.3 2.5) V x 1 A 800 mW (10) Substituting TJmax for TJ into Equation 6 gives Equation 11: R max (125 55)C800 mW 87.5CW JA (11) From Figure 28, RJA vs PCB Copper Area, the ground plane needs to be 0.55 in2 for the part to dissipate 800 mW. The operating environment used to construct Figure 28 consisted of a board with 1 oz. copper planes. The package is soldered to a 1 oz. copper pad on the top of the board. The pad is tied through thermal vias to the 1 oz. ground plane. 12 0 0.1 100 1 PCB Copper Area - in2 10 Figure 28.
