3-Terminal Adjustable Regulator

General Description

The LM117HV are adjustable 3-terminal positive voltage reg-

ulators capable of supplying either 0.5A or 1.5A over a 1.2V

to 57V output range. They are exceptionally easy to use and

require only two external resistors to set the output voltage.

Further, both line and load regulation are better than standard

fixed regulators.

In addition to higher performance than fixed regulators, the

LM117HV series offers full overload protection available only

in IC's. Included on the chip are current limit, thermal overload

protection and safe area protection. All overload protection

circuitry remains fully functional even if the adjustment termi-

nal is disconnected.

Normally, no capacitors are needed unless the device is sit-

uated more than 6 inches from the input filter capacitors in

which case an input bypass is needed. An optional output ca-

pacitor can be added to improve transient response. The

adjustment terminal can be bypassed to achieve very high

ripple rejections ratios which are difficult to achieve with stan-

dard 3-terminal regulators.

Besides replacing fixed regulators, the LM117HV is useful in

a wide variety of other applications. Since the regulator is

“floating” and sees only the input-to-output differential volt-

age, supplies of several hundred volts can be regulated as

long as the maximum input to output differential is not ex-

ceeded, i.e. do not short the output to ground.

Also, it makes an especially simple adjustable switching reg-

ulator, a programmable output regulator, or by connecting a

fixed resistor between the adjustment and output, the

LM117HV can be used as a precision current regulator. Sup-

plies with electronic shutdown can be achieved by clamping

the adjustment terminal to ground which programs the output

to 1.2V where most loads draw little current.

Note 1: Absolute Maximum Ratings indicate limits beyond which damage to the device may occur. Operating Ratings indicate conditions for which the device is

functional, but do not guarantee specific performance limits. For guaranteed specifications and test conditions, see the Electrical Characteristics. The guaranteed

specifications apply only for the test conditions listed. Some performance characteristics may degrade when the device is not operated under the listed test

conditions.

Note 2: The maximum power dissipation must be derated at elevated temperatures and is dictated by TJmax (maximum junction temperature), θJA (package

junction to ambient thermal resistance), and TA (ambient temperature). The maximum allowable power dissipation at any temperature is PDmax = (TJmax - TA) /

θJA or the number given in the Absolute Maximum Ratings, whichever is lower. "Although power dissipation is internally limited, these specifications are applicable

for power dissipations of 2W for the TO39 package and 20W for the TO3 package."

Note 3: Human body model, 1.5 kΩ in series with 100 pF.

Note 4: For the Ceramic SOIC device to function properly, the “Output” and “Output/Sense” pins must be connected on the users printed circuit board.

Note 5: The package material for these devices allows much improved heat transfer over our standard ceramic packages. In order to take full advantage of this

improved heat transfer, heat sinking must be provided between the package base (directly beneath the die), and either metal traces on, or thermal vias through,

the printed circuit board. Without this additional heat sinking, device power dissipation must be calculated using θJA, rather than θJC, thermal resistance. It must

not be assumed that the device leads will provide substantial heat transfer out the package, since the thermal resistance of the lead frame material is very poor,

relative to the material of the package base. The stated θJC thermal resistance is for the package material only, and does not account for the additional thermal

resistance between the package base and the printed circuit board. The user must determine the value of the additional thermal resistance and must combine

this with the stated value for the package, to calculate the total allowed power dissipation for the device.

Note 7: Pre and post irradiation limits are identical to those listed under AC and DC electrical characteristics, except as listed in the “LM117HVH, HVWG Post

Radiation Electrical Characteristics” tables . These parts may be dose rate sensitive in a space environment and demonstrate enhanced low dose rate effect.

Radiation end point limits for the noted parameters are guaranteed only for the conditions as specified in Mil-Std-883, Method 1019, Condition A.

Note 8: Pre and post irradiation limits are identical to those listed under AC and DC electrical characteristics, except as listed in the “LM117HVH, HVWG Post

Radiation Electrical Characteristics” tables. These parts pass all post irradiation limits under low dose rate testing at 10 mrad(Si)/s. Low dose rate qualification is

performed on a wafer-by-wafer basis, per test method 1019 condition E of MIL-STD-883.

LM117HVQML

Application Hints

In operation, the LM117HV develops a nominal 1.25V refer-

ence voltage, VREF, between the output and adjustment ter-

minal. The reference voltage is impressed across program

resistor R1 and, since the voltage is constant, a constant cur-

rent I1 then flows through the output set resistor R2, giving an

output voltage of

20143805

FIGURE 1.

Since the 100 μA current from the adjustment terminal rep-

resents an error term, the LM117HV was designed to mini-

mize IADJ and make it very constant with line and load

changes. To do this, all quiescent operating current is re-

turned to the output establishing a minimum load current

requirement. If there is insufficient load on the output, the out-

put will rise.

EXTERNAL CAPACITORS

An input bypass capacitor is recommended. A 0.1 μF disc or

1 μF solid tantalum on the input is suitable input bypassing for

almost all applications. The device is more sensitive to the

absence of input bypassing when adjustment or output ca-

pacitors are used but the above values will eliminate the

possibility of problems.

The adjustment terminal can be bypassed to ground on the

LM117HV to improve ripple rejection. This bypass capacitor

prevents ripple from being amplified as the output voltage is

increased. With a 10 μF bypass capacitor 80 dB ripple rejec-

tion is obtainable at any output level. Increases over 10 μF do

not appreciably improve the ripple rejection at frequencies

above 120 Hz. If the bypass capacitor is used, it is sometimes

necessary to include protection diodes to prevent the capac-

itor from discharging through internal low current paths and

damaging the device.

In general, the best type of capacitors to use are solid tanta-

lum. Solid tantalum capacitors have low impedance even at

high frequencies. Depending upon capacitor construction, it

takes about 25 μF in aluminum electrolytic to equal 1 μF solid

tantalum at high frequencies. Ceramic capacitors are also

good at high frequencies; but some types have a large de-

crease in capacitance at frequencies around 0.5 MHz. For this

reason, 0.01 μF disc may seem to work better than a 0.1 μF

disc as a bypass.

Although the LM117HV is stable with no output capacitors,

like any feedback circuit, certain values of external capaci-

tance can cause excessive ringing. This occurs with values

between 500 pF and 5000 pF. A 1 μF solid tantalum (or 25

μF aluminum electrolytic) on the output swamps this effect

and insures stability. Any increase of load capacitance larger

than 10 μF will merely improve the loop stability and output

impedance.

LOAD REGULATION

The LM117HV is capable of providing extremely good load

regulation but a few precautions are needed to obtain maxi-

mum performance. The current set resistor connected be-

tween the adjustment terminal and the output terminal

(usually 240Ω) should be tied directly to the output of the reg-

ulator rather than near the load. This eliminates line drops

from appearing effectively in series with the reference and

degrading regulation. For example, a 15V regulator with

0.05Ω resistance between the regulator and load will have a

load regulation due to line resistance of 0.05Ω × IL. If the set

resistor is connected near the load the effective line resis-

tance will be 0.05Ω (1 + R2/R1) or in this case, 11.5 times

worse.

Figure 2 shows the effect of resistance between the regulator

and 240Ω set resistor.

20143806

FIGURE 2. Regulator with Line

Resistance in Output Lead

With the TO-3 package, it is easy to minimize the resistance

from the case to the set resistor, by using two separate leads

to the case. However, with the TO-5 package, care should be

taken to minimize the wire length of the output lead. The

ground of R2 can be returned near the ground of the load to

provide remote ground sensing and improve load regulation.

PROTECTION DIODES

When external capacitors are used with any IC regulator it is

sometimes necessary to add protection diodes to prevent the

capacitors from discharging through low current points into

the regulator. Most 10 μF capacitors have low enough internal

series resistance to deliver 20A spikes when shorted. Al-

though the surge is short, there is enough energy to damage

parts of the IC.

When an output capacitor is connected to a regulator and the

input is shorted, the output capacitor will discharge into the

output of the regulator. The discharge current depends on the

value of the capacitor, the output voltage of the regulator, and

the rate of decrease of VIN. In the LM117HV, this discharge

path is through a large junction that is able to sustain 15A

surge with no problem. This is not true of other types of pos-

itive regulators. For output capacitors of 25 μF or less, there

is no need to use diodes.

The bypass capacitor on the adjustment terminal can dis-

charge through a low current junction. Discharge occurs when

www.national.com 12

LM117HVQML

either the input or output is shorted. Internal to the LM117HV

is a 50Ω resistor which limits the peak discharge current. No

protection is needed for output voltages of 25V or less and 10

μF capacitance. Figure 3 shows an LM117HV with protection

diodes included for use with outputs greater than 25V and

high values of output capacitance.

CURRENT LIMIT

Internal current limit will be activated whenever the output

current exceeds the limit indicated in the Typical Performance

Characteristics. However, if during a short circuit condition the

regulator's differential voltage exceeds the Absolute Maxi-

mum Rating of 60V (e.g. VIN ≥ 60V, VOUT = 0V), internal

junctions in the regulator may break down and the device may

be damaged or fail. Failure modes range from an apparent

open or short from input to output of the regulator, to a de-

stroyed package (most common with the TO-220 package).

To protect the regulator, the user is advised to be aware of

voltages that may be applied to the regulator during fault con-

ditions, and to avoid violating the Absolute Maximum Ratings.
