greater in value. As an example, if Vout1 = 3.3V and Vout2 = 5V, then the condition VIN = VO(NOM)+ 1V would apply to Vout2 only.
(2) :Typical numbers are at 25°C and represent the most likely parametric norm.
(3) :Limits are 100% production tested at 25°C. Limits over the operating temperature range are ensured through correlation using
Statistical Quality Control (SQC) methods. The limits are used to calculate Averaging Outgoing Quality Level (AOQL).
(4) Output voltage tolerance specification also includes the line regulation and load regulation.
(5) Output voltage line regulation is defined as the change in output voltage from the nominal value due to change in input line voltage.
(6) Output voltage load regulation is defined as the change in output voltage from the nominal value when the load current changes from

(7) Output voltage cross regulation is defined as the percentage change in the output voltage from the nominal value at one output when
the load current changes from 1mA to full load in the other output. This is an important parameter in multiple output regulators. The
specification for ΔVO1/ΔIOUT2 is equal to the specification for ΔVO2/ΔIOUT1.

APPLICATIONS INFORMATION
Input Capacitor Selection
LP2966 requires a minimum input capacitance of 1µF between the input and ground pins to prevent any
impedance interactions with the supply. This capacitor should be located very close to the input pin. This
capacitor can be of any type such as ceramic, tantalum, or aluminium. Any good quality capacitor which has
good tolerance over temperature and frequency is recommended.
Output Capacitor Selection
The LP2966 requires a minimum of 1µF capacitance on each output for proper operation. To insure stability, this
capacitor should maintain its ESR (equivalent series resistance) in the stable region of the ESR curves
(Figure 30 and Figure 31) over the full operating temperature range of the application. The output capacitor
should have a good tolerance over temperature, voltage, and frequency. The output capacitor can be increased
without limit. Larger capacitance provides better stability and noise performance. The output capacitor should be
connected very close to the Vout pin of the IC.
Figure 30. ESR Curve for VOUT = 5V and COUT = Figure 31. ESR Curve for VOUT = 3.3V and COUT =
2.2µF 2.2µF
LP2966 works best with Tantalum capacitors. However, the ESR and the capacitance value of these capacitors
vary a lot with temperature, voltage, and frequency. So while using Tantalum capacitors, it should be ensured
that the ESR is within the limits for stability over the full operating temperature range.
For output voltages greater than 2.5V, good quality ceramic capacitors (such as the X7R series from
Taiyoyuden) can also be used with LP2966 in applications not requiring light load operation (< 5mA for the 5V
output option). Once again, it should be ensured that the capacitance value and the ESR are within the limits for
stability over the full operating temperature range.
The ESRD Series Polymer Aluminium Electrolytic capacitors from Cornell Dubilier are very stable over
temperature and frequency. The excellent capacitance and ESR tolerance of these capacitors over voltage,
temperature and frequency make these capacitors very suitable for use with LDO regulators.
Output Noise
Noise is specified in two ways:
Spot Noise or Output Noise Density is the RMS sum of all noise sources, measured at the regulator output, at
a specific frequency (measured with a 1Hz bandwidth). This type of noise is usually plotted on a curve as a
function of frequency.
Total Output Noise or Broad-Band Noise is the RMS sum of spot noise over a specified bandwidth, usually
several decades of frequencies.
Attention should be paid to the units of measurement. Spot noise is measured in units µV/Hz or nV/Hz and
total output noise is measured in µV(rms).

LP2966
SNVS028E APRIL 2000REVISED APRIL 2013
www.ti.com
The primary source of noise in low-dropout regulators is the internal reference. In CMOS regulators, noise has a
low frequency component and a high frequency component, which storngly depend on the silicon area and
quiescent current. Noise can be reduced in two ways: by increasing the transistor area or by increasing the
current drawn by the internal reference. Increasing the area will increase the die size and decreases the chance
of fitting the die into a small package. Increasing the current drawn by the internal reference increases the total
supply current (ground pin current) of the IC. Using an optimized trade-off of ground pin current and die size,
LP2966 achieves low noise performance with low quiescent current in an VSSOP-8 package.
Short-Circuit Foldback Protection
In the presence of a short or excessive load current condition, the LP2966 uses an internal short circuit foldback
mechanism that regulates the maximum deliverable output current. A strong negative temperature coefficient is
designed into the circuit to enable extremely higher peak output current capability (in excess of 400mA per output
at room temperature, see TYPICAL PERFORMANCE CHARACTERISTICS ). Thus, a system designer using the
LP2966 can achieve higher peak output current capability in applications where the LP2966 internal junction
temperature is kept below 125°C. Refer to APPLICATIONS INFORMATION on calculating the maximum output
current capability of the LP2966 for your application.
Error Flag Operation
The LP2966 produces a logic low signal at the Error Flag pin (ERROR) when the corresponding output drops out
of regulation due to low input voltage, current limiting, or thermal limiting. This flag has a built in Hysteresis. The
timing diagram in Figure 32 shows the relationship between the ERROR and the output voltage. In this example,
the input voltage is changed to demonstrate the functionality of the Error Flag.
Figure 32. Error Flag Operation
The internal error flag comparators have open drain output stages. Hence, the ERROR pins should be pulled
high through a pull up resistor. Although the ERROR pin can sink current of 1mA, this current adds to the battery
drain. Hence, the value of the pull up resistor should be in the range of 100kto 1M.The ERROR pins must
be connected to ground if this function is not used. It should also be noted that when the shutdown pins are
pulled low, the ERROR pins are forced to be invalid for reasons of saving power in shutdown mode.
Shutdown Operation
The two LDO regulators in the LP2966 have independent shutdown. A CMOS Logic level signal at the shutdown
(SD) pin will turn-off the corresponding regulator. Pins SD1 and SD2 must be actively terminated through a
100kpull-up resistor for a proper operation. If these pins are driven from a source that actively pulls high and
low (such as a CMOS rail to rail comparator), the pull-up resistor is not required. These pins must be tied to Vin if
not used.

Drop-Out Voltage
The drop-out voltage of a regulator is defined as the minimum input-to-output differential required to stay within
100mV of the output voltage measured with a 1V differential. The LP2966 uses an internal MOSFET with an
Rds(on) of 1. For CMOS LDOs, the drop-out voltage is the product of the load current and the Rds(on) of the
internal MOSFET.
Reverse Current Path
The internal MOSFET in the LP2966 has an inherent parasitic diode. During normal operation, the input voltage
is higher than the output voltage and the parasitic diode is reverse biased. However, if the output is pulled above
the input in an application, then current flows from the output to the input as the parasitic diode gets forward
biased. The output can be pulled above the input as long as the current in the parasitic diode is limited to
150mA.
Maximum Output Current Capability
Each output in the LP2966 can deliver a current of more than 150mA over the full operating temperature range.
However, the maximum output current capability should be derated by the junction temperature. Under all
possible conditions, the junction temperature must be within the range specified under operating conditions. The
LP2966 is available in VSSOP-8 package. This package has a junction to ambient temperature coefficient (θja) of
235 °C/W with minimum amount of copper area. The total power dissipation of the device is approximately given
by: PD= (Vin - VOUT1)IOUT1 + (Vin-VOUT2)IOUT2 (1)
The maximum power dissipation, PDmax, that the device can tolerate can be calculated by using the formula:
PDmax = (Tjmax - TA)/θja
where
Tjmax is the maximum specified junction temperature (125°C)
TAis the ambient temperature (2)
Figure 33 through Figure 37 show the variation of thermal coefficient with different layout scenarios.

IMPORTANT NOTICE
Texas Instruments Incorporated (TI) reserves the right to make corrections, enhancements, improvements and other changes to its
semiconductor products and services per JESD46, latest issue, and to discontinue any product or service per JESD48, latest issue. Buyers
should obtain the latest relevant information before placing orders and should verify that such information is current and complete.
TI’s published terms of sale for semiconductor products (http://www.ti.com/sc/docs/stdterms.htm) apply to the sale of packaged integrated
circuit products that TI has qualified and released to market. Additional terms may apply to the use or sale of other types of TI products and
services.
Reproduction of significant portions of TI information in TI data sheets is permissible only if reproduction is without alteration and is
accompanied by all associated warranties, conditions, limitations, and notices. TI is not responsible or liable for such reproduced
documentation. Information of third parties may be subject to additional restrictions. Resale of TI products or services with statements
different from or beyond the parameters stated by TI for that product or service voids all express and any implied warranties for the
associated TI product or service and is an unfair and deceptive business practice. TI is not responsible or liable for any such statements.
Buyers and others who are developing systems that incorporate TI products (collectively, “Designers”) understand and agree that Designers
remain responsible for using their independent analysis, evaluation and judgment in designing their applications and that Designers have
full and exclusive responsibility to assure the safety of Designers' applications and compliance of their applications (and of all TI products
used in or for Designers’ applications) with all applicable regulations, laws and other applicable requirements. Designer represents that, with
respect to their applications, Designer has all the necessary expertise to create and implement safeguards that (1) anticipate dangerous
consequences of failures, (2) monitor failures and their consequences, and (3) lessen the likelihood of failures that might cause harm and
take appropriate actions. Designer agrees that prior to using or distributing any applications that include TI products, Designer will
thoroughly test such applications and the functionality of such TI products as used in such applications.
TI’s provision of technical, application or other design advice, quality characterization, reliability data or other services or information,
including, but not limited to, reference designs and materials relating to evaluation modules, (collectively, “TI Resources”) are intended to
assist designers who are developing applications that incorporate TI products; by downloading, accessing or using TI Resources in any
way, Designer (individually or, if Designer is acting on behalf of a company, Designer’s company) agrees to use any particular TI Resource
solely for this purpose and subject to the terms of this Notice.
TI’s provision of TI Resources does not expand or otherwise alter TI’s applicable published warranties or warranty disclaimers for TI
products, and no additional obligations or liabilities arise from TI providing such TI Resources. TI reserves the right to make corrections,
enhancements, improvements and other changes to its TI Resources. TI has not conducted any testing other than that specifically
described in the published documentation for a particular TI Resource.
Designer is authorized to use, copy and modify any individual TI Resource only in connection with the development of applications that
include the TI product(s) identified in such TI Resource. NO OTHER LICENSE, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, BY ESTOPPEL OR OTHERWISE
TO ANY OTHER TI INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY RIGHT, AND NO LICENSE TO ANY TECHNOLOGY OR INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY
RIGHT OF TI OR ANY THIRD PARTY IS GRANTED HEREIN, including but not limited to any patent right, copyright, mask work right, or
other intellectual property right relating to any combination, machine, or process in which TI products or services are used. Information
regarding or referencing third-party products or services does not constitute a license to use such products or services, or a warranty or
endorsement thereof. Use of TI Resources may require a license from a third party under the patents or other intellectual property of the
third party, or a license from TI under the patents or other intellectual property of TI.
TI RESOURCES ARE PROVIDED “AS IS” AND WITH ALL FAULTS. TI DISCLAIMS ALL OTHER WARRANTIES OR
REPRESENTATIONS, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, REGARDING RESOURCES OR USE THEREOF, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO
ACCURACY OR COMPLETENESS, TITLE, ANY EPIDEMIC FAILURE WARRANTY AND ANY IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF
MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, AND NON-INFRINGEMENT OF ANY THIRD PARTY INTELLECTUAL
PROPERTY RIGHTS. TI SHALL NOT BE LIABLE FOR AND SHALL NOT DEFEND OR INDEMNIFY DESIGNER AGAINST ANY CLAIM,
INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO ANY INFRINGEMENT CLAIM THAT RELATES TO OR IS BASED ON ANY COMBINATION OF
PRODUCTS EVEN IF DESCRIBED IN TI RESOURCES OR OTHERWISE. IN NO EVENT SHALL TI BE LIABLE FOR ANY ACTUAL,
DIRECT, SPECIAL, COLLATERAL, INDIRECT, PUNITIVE, INCIDENTAL, CONSEQUENTIAL OR EXEMPLARY DAMAGES IN
CONNECTION WITH OR ARISING OUT OF TI RESOURCES OR USE THEREOF, AND REGARDLESS OF WHETHER TI HAS BEEN
ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES.
Unless TI has explicitly designated an individual product as meeting the requirements of a particular industry standard (e.g., ISO/TS 16949
and ISO 26262), TI is not responsible for any failure to meet such industry standard requirements.
Where TI specifically promotes products as facilitating functional safety or as compliant with industry functional safety standards, such
products are intended to help enable customers to design and create their own applications that meet applicable functional safety standards
and requirements. Using products in an application does not by itself establish any safety features in the application. Designers must
ensure compliance with safety-related requirements and standards applicable to their applications. Designer may not use any TI products in
life-critical medical equipment unless authorized officers of the parties have executed a special contract specifically governing such use.
Life-critical medical equipment is medical equipment where failure of such equipment would cause serious bodily injury or death (e.g., life
support, pacemakers, defibrillators, heart pumps, neurostimulators, and implantables). Such equipment includes, without limitation, all
medical devices identified by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration as Class III devices and equivalent classifications outside the U.S.
TI may expressly designate certain products as completing a particular qualification (e.g., Q100, Military Grade, or Enhanced Product).
Designers agree that it has the necessary expertise to select the product with the appropriate qualification designation for their applications
and that proper product selection is at Designers’ own risk. Designers are solely responsible for compliance with all legal and regulatory
requirements in connection with such selection.
Designer will fully indemnify TI and its representatives against any damages, costs, losses, and/or liabilities arising out of Designer’s non-
compliance with the terms and provisions of this Notice.
