Output voltage temperature coefficient is defined as the worst-case voltage change divided by the total temperature range. Regulation is measured at constant junction temperature using low duty cycle pulse testing. Parts are tested separately for load regulation in the load ranges 0.1 mA to 1 mA and 1 mAto 250 mA. Changes in output voltage due to heating effects are covered by the thermal regulation specification. Dropout voltage is defined as the input-to-output differential at which the output voltage drops 100 mV below the value measured with a 1-V differential. GND pin current is the regulator quiescent current. The total current drawn from the source is the sum of the load current plus the GND pin current.

The dropout voltages for various values of load current are listed under Electrical Characteristics. If the regulator is powered from a rectified AC source with a capacitive filter, the minimum AC line voltage and maximum load current must be used to calculate the minimum voltage at the input of the regulator. The minimum input voltage, including AC ripple on the filter capacitor, must not drop below the voltage required to keep the LP2954 in regulation. It is also advisable to verify operating at minimum operating ambient temperature, because the increasing ESR of the filter capacitor makes this a worst-case test for dropout voltage due to increased ripple amplitude. 7.3.2 Dropout Detection Comparator This comparator produces a logic LOW whenever the output falls out of regulation by more than about 5%. The 5% value is from the comparators built-in offset of 60 mV divided by the 1.23-V reference. The 5% low trip level remains constant regardless of the programmed output voltage. An out-of-regulation condition can result from low input voltage, current limiting, or thermal limiting. Figure 17 gives a timing diagram showing the relationship between the output voltage, the ERROR output, and input voltage as the input voltage is ramped up and down to a regulator programmed for 5-V output. The ERROR signal becomes low at about 1.3-V input. It goes high at about 5-V input, where the output equals 4.75 V. Because the dropout voltage is load dependent, the input voltage trip points vary with load current. The output voltage trip point does not vary. The comparator has an open-collector output which requires an external pullup resistor. This resistor may be connected to the regulator output or some other supply voltage. Using the regulator output prevents an invalid HIGH on the comparator output which occurs if it is pulled up to an external voltage while the regulator input voltage is reduced below 1.3 V. In selecting a value for the pullup resistor note that, while the output can sink 400 A, this current adds to battery drain. Suggested values range from 100 k to 1 M. This resistor is not required if the output is unused. When VIN 1.3 V, the ERROR pin becomes a high impedance, allowing the error flag voltage to rise to its pullup voltage. Using VOUT as the pullup voltage (rather than an external 5-V source) keeps the error flag voltage below 1.2 V (typical) in this condition. The user may wish to divide down the error flag voltage using equal-value resistors (10 k suggested) to ensure a low-level logic signal during any fault condition, while still allowing a valid high logic level during normal operation. * In shutdown mode, ERROR goes high if it has been pulled up to an external supply. To avoid this invalid response, pull up to regulator output. ** Exact value depends on dropout voltage. (See Dropout Voltage) Figure 17. ERROR Output Timing 7.3.3 Output Isolation The regulator output can be left connected to an active voltage source (such as a battery) with the regulator input power turned off, as long as the regulator ground pin is connected to ground. If the ground pin is left floating, damage to the regulator can occur if the output is pulled up by an external voltage source.

One method is to reduce regulator bandwidth by increasing output capacitance. This is relatively inefficient, because large increases in capacitance are required to get significant improvement. Noise can be reduced more effectively by a bypass capacitor placed across R1 (refer to Figure 19). The formula for selecting the capacitor to be used is: CB = 1 / 2R1 x 20 Hz (1) This gives a value of about 0.1 F. When this is used, the output capacitor must be 6.8 F (or greater) to maintain stability. The 0.1-F capacitor reduces the high frequency gain of the circuit to unity, lowering the output noise from 260 V to 80 V using a 10-Hz to 100-kHz bandwidth. Also, noise is no longer proportional to the output voltage, so improvements are more pronounced at high output voltages. 7.4 Device Functional Modes 7.4.1 Shutdown Input A logic-level signal shuts off the regulator output when a LOW (< 1.2 V) is applied to the SHUTDOWN input. To prevent possible mis-operation, the SHUTDOWN input must be actively terminated. If the input is driven from open-collector logic, a pullup resistor (TI recommends 20 k to 100 k) must be connected from the SHUTDOWN input to the regulator input. If the SHUTDOWN input is driven from a source that actively pulls high and low (like an operational amplifier), the pullup resistor is not required, but may be used. If the shutdown function is not to be used, the cost of the pullup resistor can be saved by simply tying the SHUTDOWN input directly to the regulator input. IMPORTANT: Because the Absolute Maximum Ratings state that the SHUTDOWN input cannot go more than 0.3 V below ground, the reverse-battery protection feature that protects the regulator input is sacrificed if the SHUTDOWN input is tied directly to the regulator input. If reverse-battery protection is required in an application, the pullup resistor between the SHUTDOWN input and the regulator input must be used. The recommended 20 k to 100 k provides adequate protection of the SHUTDOWN pin during negative voltage transitions at the IN pin. 12 Submit Documentation Feedback Copyright (c) 1999-2016, Texas Instruments Incorporated Product Folder Links: LP2954 LP2954A LP2954, LP2954A www.ti.com SNVS096E - JUNE 1999 - REVISED JULY 2016 8 Application and Implementation NOTE Information in the following applications sections is not part of the TI component specification, and TI does not warrant its accuracy or completeness. TI's customers are responsible for determining suitability of components for their purposes. Customers should validate and test their design implementation to confirm system functionality. 8.1 Application Information The LP2954-N is a linear voltage regulator operating from 2.3 V to 30 V on the input and regulated output voltage of 5 V with typical 0.5% accuracy (LP2954AI) and 250 mA maximum output current. For linear voltage regulator the efficiency is defined by the ratio of output voltage to input voltage (efficiency = VOUT/VIN). To achieve high efficiency, the dropout voltage (VIN - VOUT) must be as small as possible, thus requiring a very low dropout LDO. Successfully implementing an LDO in an application depends on the application requirements. If the requirements are simply input voltage and output voltage, compliance specifications (such as internal power dissipation or stability) must be verified to ensure a solid design. If timing, start-up, noise, PSRR, or any other transient specification is required, the design becomes more challenging. 8.2 Typical Application IN VIN 1 F OUT GND 5 V OUT 2.2 F LOAD Figure 18. LP2954 Typical Application 8.2.1 Design Requirements For typical LDO applications, use the parameters listed in Table 1. Table 1. Design Parameters DESIGN PARAMETER EXAMPLE VALUE Input voltage 2.5 V to 30 V Output voltage 1.23 V to 29 V Output current 250 mA (maximum) RMS noise, 10 Hz to100 kHz 260 VRMS 8.2.2 Detailed Design Procedure 8.2.2.1 External Capacitors A 2.2 F (or greater) capacitor is required between the OUT pin and GND to assure stability (refer to Figure 20). Without this capacitor, the device may oscillate. Most types of tantalum or aluminum electrolytic capacitors work here. Film-type capacitors work, but are more expensive. Many aluminum electrolytics contain electrolytes which freeze at -30C, which requires the use of solid tantalums below -25C. The important parameters of the capacitor are an equivalent series resistance (ESR) of about 5 or less and a resonant frequency above 500 kHz (the ESR may increase by a factor of 20 or 30 as the temperature is reduced from 25C to -30C). The value of this capacitor may be increased without limit. At lower values of output current, less output capacitance is required for stability. The capacitor can be reduced to 0.68 F for currents below 10 mA or 0.22 F for currents below 1 mA.

Programming the output for voltages below 5 V runs the error amplifier at lower gains requiring more output capacitance for stability. At 3.3-V output, a minimum of 4.7 F is required. For the worst case condition of 1.23-V output and 250 mA of load current, a 6.8-F (or larger) capacitor must be used. Stray capacitance to the FEEDBACK pin can cause instability. This problem is most likely to appear when using high value external resistors to set the output voltage. Adding a 100-pF capacitor between the OUT and FEEDBACK pins and increasing the output capacitance to 6.8 F (or greater) solves the problem. 8.2.2.2 Minimum Load When setting the output voltage using an external resistive divider, TI recommends a minimum current of 1 A through the resistors to provide a minimum load. It should be noted that a minimum load current is specified in several of the electrical characteristic test conditions, so this value must be used to obtain correlation on these tested limits. The part is parametrically tested down to 100 A, but is functional with no load. 8.2.2.3 Programming The Output Voltage The SOIC version of the LP2954 regulator may be pin strapped for 5-V operation using its internal resistive divider by tying the OUT and SENSE pins together and also tying the FEEDBACK and 5V TAP pins together. Alternatively, it may be programmed for any voltage between the 1.23-V reference and the 30-V maximum rating using an external pair of resistors (see Figure 19). The complete equation for the output voltage is: VOUT = VREF x (1 + R1 / R2) + (IFB x R1) (2) where VREF is the 1.23-V reference and IFB is the FEEDBACK pin bias current (-20 nA typical). The minimum recommended load current of 1 A sets an upper limit of 1.2 M on the value of R2 in cases where the regulator must work with no load (see Minimum Load). IFB produces a typical 2% error in VOUT which can be eliminated at room temperature by trimming R1. For better accuracy, choosing R2 = 100 k reduces this error to 0.17% while increasing the resistor program current to 12 A. Because the typical quiescent current is 120 A, this added current is negligible. *Drive with TTL-low to shutdown Figure 19.

Device power dissipation depends on input voltage, output voltage, and load conditions and can be calculated with Equation 3. PD(MAX) = (VIN(MAX) - VOUT) x IOUT (3) Power dissipation can be minimized, and greater efficiency can be achieved, by using the lowest available voltage drop option that would still be greater than the dropout voltage (VDO). However, keep in mind that higher voltage drops result in better dynamic (that is, PSRR and transient) performance. Power dissipation and junction temperature are most often related by the junction-to-ambient thermal resistance (RJA) of the combined PCB and device package and the temperature of the ambient air (TA), according to Equation 4 or Equation 5: TJ(MAX) = TA(MAX) + (RJA x PD(MAX)) PD(MAX) = (TJ(MAX) - TA(MAX)) / RJA (4) (5) Unfortunately, this RJA is highly dependent on the heat-spreading capability of the particular PCB design, and therefore varies according to the total copper area, copper weight, and location of the planes. The RJA recorded in Thermal Information is determined by the specific EIA/JEDEC JESD51-7 standard for PCB and copperspreading area, and is to be used only as a relative measure of package thermal performance. For a welldesigned thermal layout, RJA is actually the sum of the package junction-to-case (bottom) thermal resistance (RJCbot) plus the thermal resistance contribution by the PCB copper area acting as a heat sink. 8.2.2.5 Estimating Junction Temperature The EIA/JEDEC standard recommends the use of psi () thermal characteristics to estimate the junction temperatures of surface mount devices on a typical PCB board application. These characteristics are not true thermal resistance values, but rather package specific thermal characteristics that offer practical and relative means of estimating junction temperatures. These psi metrics are determined to be significantly independent of copper-spreading area. The key thermal characteristics (JT and JB) are given in Thermal Information and are used in accordance with Equation 6 or Equation 7. TJ(MAX) = TTOP + (JT x PD(MAX)) where * * PD(MAX) is explained in Equation 5 TTOP is the temperature measured at the center-top of the device package. TJ(MAX) = TBOARD + (JB x PD(MAX)) (6) where * * PD(MAX) is explained in Equation 5. TBOARD is the PCB surface temperature measured 1-mm from the device package and centered on the package edge. (7) For more information about the thermal characteristics JT and JB, Semiconductor and IC Package Thermal Metrics; for more information about measuring TTOP and TBOARD, see Using New Thermal Metrics; and for more information about the EIA/JEDEC JESD51 PCB used for validating RJA, see Thermal Characteristics of Linear and Logic Packages Using JEDEC PCB Designs. These application notes are available at www.ti.com. 8.2.2.6 Heatsinking the TO-220 Package A heat sink may be required with the LP2954IT depending on the maximum power dissipation and maximum ambient temperature of the application. Under all possible operating conditions, the junction temperature must be within the range specified under Recommended Operating Conditions. To determine if a heat sink is required, the maximum power dissipated by the regulator, P(MAX), must be calculated. It is important to remember that if the regulator is powered from a transformer connected to the AC line, the maximum specified AC input voltage must be used (because this produces the maximum DC input voltage to the regulator). Figure 20 shows the voltages and currents that are present in the circuit. The formula for calculating the power dissipated in the regulator is also shown in Figure 20.

Basic 5-V Regulator Circuit The next parameter which must be calculated is the maximum allowable temperature rise, TR(MAX). This is calculated by using the formula: TR(MAX) = TJ(MAX) - TA(MAX) where * * TJ(MAX) is the maximum allowable junction temperature TA(MAX) is the maximum ambient temperature (8) Using the calculated values for TR(MAX) and P(MAX), the required value for junction-to-ambient thermal resistance, RJA , can now be found: RJA = TR(MAX) / P(MAX) (9) If the calculated value is 60C/W or higher , the regulator may be operated without an external heat sink. If the calculated value is below 60C/W, an external heatsink is required. The required thermal resistance for this heat sink can be calculated using the formula: RHA = RJA - RJC(bot) - RCH where * * * RJC(bot) is the junction-to-case thermal resistance, which is specified as 0.9C/W maximum for the LP2954IT RCH is the case-to-heat-sink thermal resistance, which is dependent on the interfacing material (if used). For details and typical values in Table 2 and Table 3. R(H-A) is the heatsink-to-ambient thermal resistance. It is this specification (listed on the heat-sink manufacturers data sheet) which defines the effectiveness of the heat sink. The heat sink selected must have a thermal resistance which is equal to or lower than the value of RHA calculated from the above listed formula. (10) Table 2.

Load Transient Response 9 Power Supply Recommendations The LP2954 is designed to operate from a minimum input voltage supply of either 2.5 V or VOUT(NOM) + 1 V, whichever is higher. The maximum input supply voltage is 30 V, but may be limited by thermal dissipation of the selected package. The input voltage range provides adequate headroom in order for the device to have a regulated output. This input supply must be well regulated. If the input supply is noisy, additional input capacitors with low ESR can help. improve the output noise performance.

Place ground return connections to the input and output capacitor, and to the LDO ground pin as close as possible to each other, connected by a wide, component-side, copper surface. The use of vias and long traces to create LDO circuit connections is strongly discouraged and negatively affects system performance. This grounding and layout scheme minimizes inductive parasitic, and thereby reduces load-current transients, minimizes noise, and increases circuit stability. TI also recommends a ground reference plane and is either embedded in the PCB itself or located on the bottom side of the PCB opposite the components. This reference plane serves to assure accuracy of the output voltage, shield noise, and behaves similar to a thermal plane to spread heat from the LDO device. In most applications, this ground plane is necessary to meet thermal requirements. 10.2 Layout Example Ground IN GND 3 Input Capacitor VIN Output Capacitor OUT 2 1 VOUT Figure 25.
