DESCRIPTION
These three terminal positive adjustable voltage regulators are designed to provide
7.5A, 5A, 3A, and 1.5A with higher efficiency than conv entional v oltage regulators. The
devices are designed to operate to 1 Volt input to output differential and the dropout
voltage is specified as a function of load current. All devices are pin compatible with
older three terminal regulators. Supplied in the easy-to-use hermetic metal TO-257
and TO-258 JEDEC packages also supplied in Omnirel’s new surface mount D2Pac..
These devices are ideally suited for Militar y applications where small size, hermeticity
and high reliability are required.

Note 1: Load and line regulation are measured at a constant junction temperature by low duty cycle pulse testing.
Note 2: Line and load regulation are guaranteed up to the maximum power dissipation (OM183/60W, OM184/45W, OM185/30W,
OM186/15W). Power dissipation is determined by the input/output differential and the output current. Guaranteed maximum
power dissipation will not be available over the full input/output voltage range.
Note 3: IFULL LOAD curve is defined as the minimum value of current limit as a function of input to output voltage. Note that power
dissipation is only achievable over a limited range of input to output voltage.
Note 4: Dropout voltage is specified over the full output current range of the device.

Stability
The OM183-186 Series requires the use of an output
capacitor as part of the device frequency compensation.
For all operating conditions, the addition of 150µF alu-
minum electrolytic or a 22µF solid tantalum on the output
will ensure stability. Normally, capacitors much smaller
than this can be used. Many different types of capacitors
with widely varying characteristics are available. These
capacitors differ in capacitor toler ance (sometimes ranging
up to ±100%), equivalent series resistance, and capaci-
tance temperature coefficient.
The 150µF or 22µF values given will ensure stability.
When the adjustment terminal is bypassed to improve the
ripple rejection, the requirement for an output capacitor
increases. The values of 22µF tantalum or 150µF alu-
minum cover all cases of bypassing the adjustment termi-
nal. Without bypassing the adjustment terminal, smaller
capacitors can be used with equally good results and the
table below shows approximately what size capacitors are
needed to ensure stability.
Recommended Capacitor Values
Normally , capacitor v alues on the order of 100µF are used
in the output of many regulators to ensure good transient
response with heavy load current changes. Output capac-
itance can be increased without limit and larger values of
output capacitor further improve stability and transient
response of the OM183SC regulators.
Output Voltage — Adjustable Regulators
The OM183-OM186 devices develop a 1.25V reference
voltage between the output and the adjust terminal (see
below). By placing a resistor, R1, between these two ter-
minals, a constant current is caused to flow through R1
and down through R2 to set the overall output voltage.
Normally this current is the specified minimum load current
of 10mA. Because IADJ is very small and constant when
compared with the current through R1, it represents a
small error and can usually be ignored.

Figure 1 shows a typical soldering profile for the D2and D3Packages when soldering a to a printed circuit board.The
profile will vary from system to system and solders to solders. Factors that can affect the profile include the type of sol-
dering system used, density and type of components on the board or substrate material being used.This profile shows
temperature v ersus time .The two profiles described are based on a high density and a low density board.The type sol-
der used was 62/36/2 Tin Lead Silver with a melting point between 177-189ºC. An convection/infrared soldering reflow
system was used.The circuit and solder joints heat up first due to their mass followed by the components which typi-
cally run 30 degrees cooler than the solder joints.
