LM2940x 1-A Low Dropout Regulator

1 Features 3 Description

The LM2940-N and LM2940C positive voltage

1• Input Voltage Range = 6 V to 26 V regulators feature the ability to source 1 A of output

• Dropout Voltage Typically 0.5 V at IOUT =1A current with a dropout voltage of typically 0.5 V and a

• Output Current in Excess of 1 A maximum of 1 V over the entire temperature range.

Furthermore, a quiescent current reduction circuit has

• Output Voltage Trimmed Before Assembly been included which reduces the ground current

• Reverse Battery Protection when the differential between the input voltage and

• Internal Short Circuit Current Limit the output voltage exceeds approximately 3 V. The

quiescent current with 1 A of output current and an

• Mirror Image Insertion Protection input-output differential of 5 V is therefore only 30

• P+Product Enhancement Tested mA. Higher quiescent currents only exist when the

regulator is in the dropout mode (VIN −VOUT ≤3 V).

2 Applications Designed also for vehicular applications, the LM2940-

• Post Regulator for Switching Supplies N and LM2940C and all regulated circuitry are

• Logic Power Supplies protected from reverse battery installations or 2-

• Industrial Instrumentation battery jumps. During line transients, such as load

dump when the input voltage can momentarily

space exceed the specified maximum operating voltage, the

space regulator will automatically shut down to protect both

space the internal circuits and the load. The LM2940-N and

LM2940C cannot be harmed by temporary mirror-

image insertion. Familiar regulator features such as

short circuit and thermal overload protection are also

provided.

Simplified Schematic

*Required if regulator is located far from power supply filter.

**COUT must be at least 22 μF to maintain stability. May be increased without bound to maintain regulation during

transients. Locate as close as possible to the regulator. This capacitor must be rated over the same operating

temperature range as the regulator and the ESR is critical; see curve.

(1) Absolute Maximum Ratings are limits beyond which damage to the device may occur. Recommended Operating Conditions are

conditions under which the device functions but the specifications might not be ensured. For ensured specifications and test conditions

see the Electrical Characteristics (5 V and 8 V).

(2) If Military/Aerospace specified devices are required, please contact the Texas Instruments Sales Office/ Distributors for availability and

specifications.

(3) The maximum allowable power dissipation is a function of the maximum junction temperature, TJ, the junction-to-ambient thermal

resistance, RθJA, and the ambient temperature, TA. Exceeding the maximum allowable power dissipation will cause excessive die

temperature, and the regulator will go into thermal shutdown. The value of R θJA (for devices in still air with no heatsink) is 23.3°C/W for

the TO-220 package, 40.9°C/W for the DDPAK/TO-263 package, and 59.3°C/W for the SOT-223 package. The effective value of RθJA

can be reduced by using a heatsink (see Heatsinking for specific information on heatsinking). The value of RθJA for the WSON package

is specifically dependent on PCB trace area, trace material, and the number of layers and thermal vias. For improved thermal resistance

and power dissipation for the WSON package, refer to Application Note AN-1187 Leadless Leadframe Package (LLP) (SNOA401). It is

recommended that 6 vias be placed under the center pad to improve thermal performance.

(4) Refer to JEDEC J-STD-020C for surface mount device (SMD) package reflow profiles and conditions. Unless otherwise stated, the

temperature and time are for Sn-Pb (STD) only.

7 Detailed Description

7.1 Overview

The LM2940 positive voltage regulator features the ability to source 1 A of output current with a dropout voltage

of typically 0.5 V and a maximum of 1 V over the entire temperature range. Furthermore, a quiescent current

reduction circuit has been included which reduces the ground current when the differential between the input

voltage and the output voltage exceeds approximately 3 V. The quiescent current with 1 A of output current and

an input-output differential of 5 V is therefore only 30 mA. Higher quiescent currents only exist when the regulator

is in the dropout mode (VIN – VOUT ≤3 V).

7.2 Functional Block Diagram

7.3 Feature Description

7.3.1 Short-Circuit Current Limit

The internal current limit circuit is used to protect the LDO against high-load current faults or shorting events. The

LDO is not designed to operate in a steady-state current limit. During a current-limit event, the LDO sources

constant current. Therefore, the output voltage falls when load impedance decreases. Note, also, that if a current

limit occurs and the resulting output voltage is low, excessive power may be dissipated across the LDO, resulting

a thermal shutdown of the output.

7.3.2 Overvoltage Shutdown (OVSD)

Input voltage greater than typically 30 V will cause the LM2940 output to be disabled. When operating with the

input voltage greater than the maximum recommended input voltage of 26 V, the device performance is not

ensured. Continuous operation with the input voltage greater than the maximum recommended input voltage is

discouraged.

7.3.3 Thermal Shutdown (TSD)

The LM2940 contains the thermal shutdown circuitry to turn off the output when excessive heat is dissipated in

the LDO. The internal protection circuitry of the LM2940 is designed to protect against thermal overload

conditions. The TSD circuitry is not intended to replace proper heat sinking. Continuously running the device into

thermal shutdown degrades its reliability as the junction temperature will be exceeding the absolute maximum

junction temperature rating.

7.4 Device Functional Modes

7.4.1 Operation with Enable Control

The LM2940 design does not include any undervoltage lockout (UVLO), or enable functions. Generally, the

output voltage will track the input voltage until the input voltage is greater than VOUT + 1V. When the input

voltage is greater than VOUT + 1 V, the LM2940 will be in linear operation, and the output voltage will be

regulated. However, the device will be sensitive to any small perturbation of the input voltage. Device dynamic

performance is improved when the input voltage is at least 2 V greater than the output voltage.

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 LM2940-N and LM2940C positive voltage regulators feature the ability to source 1 A of output current with a

dropout voltage of typically 0.5 V and a maximum of 1 V over the entire temperature range. The output capacitor,

COUT, must have a capacitance value of at least 22 µF with an ESR of at least 100 mΩ, but no more than 1 Ω.

The minimum capacitance value and the ESR requirements apply across the entire expected operating ambient

temperature range.

8.2 Typical Application

*Required if regulator is located far from power supply filter.

**COUT must be at least 22 μF to maintain stability. May be increased without bound to maintain regulation during

transients. Locate as close as possible to the regulator. This capacitor must be rated over the same operating

temperature range as the regulator and the ESR is critical; see curve.

Figure 26. Typical Application

8.2.1 Design Requirements

Table 1. Design Parameters

DESIGN PARAMETER EXAMPLE VALUE

Input voltage range 6 V to 26 V

Output voltage range 8 V

Output current range 5 mA to 1 A

Input capacitor value 0.47 µF

Output capacitor value 22 µF minimum

Output capacitor ESR range 100 mΩto 1 Ω

8.2.2 Detailed Design Procedure

8.2.2.1 External Capacitors

The output capacitor is critical to maintaining regulator stability, and must meet the required conditions for both

equivalent series resistance (ESR) and minimum amount of capacitance.

8.2.2.1.1 Minimum Capacitance

The minimum output capacitance required to maintain stability is 22 μF (this value may be increased without

limit). Larger values of output capacitance will give improved transient response.

8.2.2.1.2 ESR Limits

The ESR of the output capacitor will cause loop instability if it is too high or too low. The acceptable range of

ESR plotted versus load current is shown in the graph below. It is essential that the output capacitor meet these

requirements, or oscillations can result.

Figure 27. Output Capacitor ESR Limits

It is important to note that for most capacitors, ESR is specified only at room temperature. However, the designer

must ensure that the ESR will stay inside the limits shown over the entire operating temperature range for the

design.

For aluminum electrolytic capacitors, ESR will increase by about 30X as the temperature is reduced from 25°C to

−40°C. This type of capacitor is not well-suited for low temperature operation.

Solid tantalum capacitors have a more stable ESR over temperature, but are more expensive than aluminum

electrolytics. A cost-effective approach sometimes used is to parallel an aluminum electrolytic with a solid

tantalum, with the total capacitance split about 75/25% with the aluminum being the larger value.

If two capacitors are paralleled, the effective ESR is the parallel of the two individual values. The flatter ESR of

the tantalum will keep the effective ESR from rising as quickly at low temperatures.

9 Power Supply Recommendations

The device is designed to operate from an input voltage supply range between VOUT + 1 V up to a maximum of

26 V. This input supply must be well regulated and free of spurious noise. To ensure that the LM2940 output

voltage is well regulated, the input supply should be at least VOUT + 2 V.

10 Layout

10.1 Layout Guidelines

The dynamic performance of the LM2940 is dependent on the layout of the PCB. PCB layout practices that are

adequate for typical LDOs may degrade the PSRR, noise, or transient performance of the LM2940. Best

performance is achieved by placing CIN and COUT on the same side of the PCB as the LM2940, and as close as

is practical to the package. The ground connections for CIN and COUT should be back to the LM2940 ground pin

using as wide and short of a copper trace as is practical.

10.3 Heatsinking

A heatsink may be required 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 Absolute Maximum Ratings(1)(2).

To determine if a heatsink is required, the power dissipated by the regulator, PD, must be calculated.

Figure 33 shows the voltages and currents which are present in the circuit, as well as the formula for calculating

the power dissipated in the regulator:

IIN = IL+ IG

PD= (VIN −VOUT) IL+ (VIN) IG

Figure 33. Power Dissipation Diagram

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, which is 125°C for commercial grade parts.

• TA(MAX)is the maximum ambient temperature which will be encountered in the application. (1)

Using the calculated values for TR(MAX) and PD, the maximum allowable value for the junction-to-ambient thermal

resistance, RθJA, can now be found:

RθJA = TR(MAX) / PD(2)

NOTE

If the maximum allowable value for RθJA is found to be ≥23.3°C/W for the TO-220

package (with a heatsink of 21.7°C/W RθSA), ≥40.9°C/W for the DDPAK/TO-263 package,

or ≥59.3°C/W for the SOT-223 package, no heatsink is needed since the package alone

will dissipate enough heat to satisfy these requirements.

If the calculated value for RθJA falls below these limits, a heatsink is required.

(1) Absolute Maximum Ratings are limits beyond which damage to the device may occur. Recommended Operating Conditions are

conditions under which the device functions but the specifications might not be ensured. For ensured specifications and test conditions

see the Electrical Characteristics (5 V and 8 V).

(2) If Military/Aerospace specified devices are required, please contact the Texas Instruments Sales Office/ Distributors for availability and

specifications.

Heatsinking (continued)

10.3.1 Heatsinking TO-220 Package Parts

The TO-220 can be attached to a typical heatsink, or secured to a copper plane on a PC board.

If a manufactured heatsink is to be selected, the value of heatsink-to-ambient thermal resistance, RθSA, must first

be calculated:

RθSA = RθJA −RθCS −RθJC

where

• RθJC is defined as the thermal resistance from the junction to the surface of the case. A value of 3°C/W can be

assumed for RθJC for this calculation.

• RθCS is defined as the thermal resistance between the case and the surface of the heatsink. The value of RθCS

will vary from about 0.5°C/W to about 2.5°C/W (depending on method of attachment, insulator, etc.). If the

exact value is unknown, 2°C/W should be assumed for RθCS. (3)

When a value for RθSA is found using Equation 3,a heatsink must be selected that has a value that is less than

or equal to this number.

RθSA is specified numerically by the heatsink manufacturer in the catalog, or shown in a curve that plots

temperature rise vs power dissipation for the heatsink.

reference these types of products as "Pb-Free".

RoHS Exempt: TI defines "RoHS Exempt" to mean products that contain lead but are compliant with EU RoHS pursuant to a specific EU RoHS exemption.

Green: TI defines "Green" to mean the content of Chlorine (Cl) and Bromine (Br) based flame retardants meet JS709B low halogen requirements of <=1000ppm threshold. Antimony trioxide based

flame retardants must also meet the <=1000ppm threshold requirement.

(3) MSL, Peak Temp. - The Moisture Sensitivity Level rating according to the JEDEC industry standard classifications, and peak solder temperature.

(4) There may be additional marking, which relates to the logo, the lot trace code information, or the environmental category on the device.

(5) Multiple Device Markings will be inside parentheses. Only one Device Marking contained in parentheses and separated by a "~" will appear on a device. If a line is indented then it is a continuation

of the previous line and the two combined represent the entire Device Marking for that device.

(6) Lead/Ball Finish - Orderable Devices may have multiple material finish options. Finish options are separated by a vertical ruled line. Lead/Ball Finish values may wrap to two lines if the finish

value exceeds the maximum column width.

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.
