The device is capable 100 of supplying 250 mA of output current with a IO= 0.05 A dropout of 200 mV (TPS77930). Quiescent 50 current is 92 A at full load dropping down to 1 A when the device is disabled. The device is 0 optimized to be stable with a wide range of output 90 110 130 -50 -30 -10 10 30 50 70 capacitors including low ESR ceramic (10 F) or TJ - Junction Temperature - C low capacitance (1 F) tantalum capacitors. The device has extremely low noise output performance (55 Vrms) without using any added filter capacitors. TPS779xx is designed to have a fast transient response for larger load current changes. The TPS779xx is offered in 1.8-V, 2.5-V, and 3-V fixed-voltage versions and in an adjustable version (programmable over the range of 1.5 V to 5.5 V). Output voltage tolerance is 2% over line, load, and temperature ranges. The TPS779xx family is available in 8-pin MSOP (DGK) packages. Because the PMOS device behaves as a low-value resistor, the dropout voltage is very low (typically 200 mV at an output current of 250 mA for 3.3 volt option) and is directly proportional to the output current. Additionally, since the PMOS pass element is a voltage-driven device, the quiescent current is very low and independent of output loading (typically 92 A over the full range of output current, 0 mA to 250 mA). These two key specifications yield a significant improvement in operating life for battery-powered systems. The device is enabled when the EN pin is connected to a high-level input voltage. This LDO family also features a sleep mode; applying a TTL low signal to EN (enable) shuts down the regulator, reducing the quiescent current to less than 1 A at TJ = 25C.

The RESET output of the TPS779xx initiates a reset in DSP, microcomputer, or microprocessor systems at power-up and in the event of an undervoltage condition. An internal comparator in the TPS779xx monitors the output voltage of the regulator to detect an undervoltage condition on the regulated output voltage. When OUT reaches 95% of its regulated voltage, RESET will go to a high-impedance state after a 220 ms delay. RESET will go to low-impedance state when OUT is pulled below 95% (i.e. over load condition) of its regulated voltage.

If EN is a logic low, the device will be in shutdown mode. When EN goes to logic high, then the device will be enabled. sense (SENSE) The SENSE terminal of the fixed-output options must be connected to the regulator output, and the connection should be as short as possible. Internally, SENSE connects to a high-impedance wide-bandwidth amplifier through a resistor-divider network and noise pickup feeds through to the regulator output. It is essential to route the SENSE connection in such a way to minimize/avoid noise pickup. Adding RC networks between the SENSE terminal and VO to filter noise is not recommended because it can cause the regulator to oscillate. feedback (FB) FB is an input terminal used for the adjustable-output options and must be connected to an external feedback resistor divider. The FB connection should be as short as possible. It is essential to route it in such a way to minimize/avoid noise pickup. Adding RC networks between FB terminal and VO to filter noise is not recommended because it can cause the regulator to oscillate. reset (RESET) The RESET terminal is an open drain, active low output that indicates the status of VO. When VO reaches 95% of the regulated voltage, RESET will go to a high-impedance state after a 220-ms delay. RESET will go to a low-impedance state when Vout is below 95% of the regulated voltage.

POST OFFICE BOX 655303 * DALLAS, TEXAS 75265 13 TPS77901, TPS77918, TPS77925, TPS77930 250-mA LDO REGULATOR WITH INTEGRATED RESET IN A MSOP8 PACKAGE SLVS283D - MARCH 2000 - REVISED OCTOBER 2000 APPLICATION INFORMATION external capacitor requirements An input capacitor is not usually required; however, a bypass capacitor (0.047 F or larger) improves load transient response and noise rejection if the TPS779xx is located more than a few inches from the power supply. A higher-capacitance capacitor may be necessary if large (hundreds of milliamps) load transients with fast rise times are anticipated. Most low noise LDOs require an external capacitor to further reduce noise. This will impact the cost and board space. The TPS779xx has a very low noise specification requirement without using any external component. Like all low dropout regulators, the TPS779xx requires an output capacitor connected between OUT (output of the LDO) and GND (signal ground) to stabilize the internal control loop. The minimum recommended capacitance value is 1 F provided the ESR meets the requirement in Figures 19 and 21. In addition, a low-ESR capacitor can be used if the capacitance is at least 10 F and the ESR meets the requirements in Figures 18 and 20. Solid tantalum electrolytic, aluminum electrolytic, and multilayer ceramic capacitors are all suitable, provided they meet the requirements described previously. Ceramic capacitors have different types of dielectric material with each exhibiting different temperature and voltage variation. The most common types are X5R, X7R, Y5U, Z5U, and NPO. The NPO type ceramic type capacitors are generally the most stable over temperature. However, the X5R and X7R are also relatively stable over temperature (with the X7R being the more stable of the two) and are therefore acceptable to use. The Y5U and Z5U types provide high capacitance in a small geometry, but exhibit large variations over temperature; therefore, the Y5U and Z5U are not generally recommended for use on this LDO. Independent of which type of capacitor is used, one must make certain that at the worst case condition the capacitance/ESR meets the requirement specified in Figures 18 through 21. Figure 22 shows the output capacitor and its parasitic impedances in a typical LDO output stage.

This means no current is flowing into the Co branch. If IO suddenly increases (transient condition), the following occurs: D D The LDO is not able to supply the sudden current need due to its response time (t1 in Figure 23). Therefore, capacitor Co provides the current for the new load condition (dashed arrow). Co now acts like a battery with an internal resistance, ESR. Depending on the current demand at the output, a voltage drop will occur at RESR. This voltage is shown as VESR in Figure 22. When Co is conducting current to the load, initial voltage at the load will be VO = V(Co) - VESR. Due to the discharge of Co, the output voltage VO will drop continuously until the response time t1 of the LDO is reached and the LDO will resume supplying the load. From this point, the output voltage starts rising again until it reaches the regulated voltage. This period is shown as t2 in Figure 23. The figure also shows the impact of different ESRs on the output voltage. The left brackets show different levels of ESRs where number 1 displays the lowest and number 3 displays the highest ESR. From above, the following conclusions can be drawn: D D The higher the ESR, the larger the droop at the beginning of load transient. The smaller the output capacitor, the faster the discharge time and the bigger the voltage droop during the LDO response period. conclusion To minimize the transient output droop, capacitors must have a low ESR and be large enough to support the minimum output voltage requirement.

The output voltage is calculated using: V O ) + Vref 1 R1 R2 (1) Where: Vref = 1.1834 V typ (the internal reference voltage) Resistors R1 and R2 should be chosen for approximately 50-A divider current. Lower value resistors can be used but offer no inherent advantage and waste more power. Higher values should be avoided as leakage currents at FB increase the output voltage error. The recommended design procedure is to choose R2 = 30.1 k to set the divider current at 50 A and then calculate R1 using: R1 + V V O ref *1 (2) R2 OUTPUT VOLTAGE PROGRAMMING GUIDE TPS77x01 VI RESET IN 0.1 F OUTPUT VOLTAGE RESET Output 250 k EN OUT VO R1 FB/SENSE GND Co R1 R2 UNIT 2.5 V 33.5 30.1 k 3.3 V 53.8 30.1 k 3.6 V 61.5 30.1 k NOTE: To reduce noise and prevent oscillation, R1 and R2 need to be as close as possible to the FB/SENSE terminal.

TPS77901 Adjustable LDO Regulator Programming regulator protection The TPS779xx PMOS-pass transistor has a built-in back diode that conducts reverse currents when the input voltage drops below the output voltage (e.g., during power down). Current is conducted from the output to the input and is not internally limited. When extended reverse voltage is anticipated, external limiting may be appropriate. The TPS779xx also features internal current limiting and thermal protection. During normal operation, the TPS779xx limits output current to approximately 0.9 A. When current limiting engages, the output voltage scales back linearly until the overcurrent condition ends. While current limiting is designed to prevent gross device failure, care should be taken not to exceed the power dissipation ratings of the package. If the temperature of the device exceeds 150C(typ), thermal-protection circuitry shuts it down. Once the device has cooled below 130C(typ), regulator operation resumes. 16 POST OFFICE BOX 655303 * DALLAS, TEXAS 75265 TPS77901, TPS77918, TPS77925, TPS77930 250-mA LDO REGULATOR WITH INTEGRATED RESET IN A MSOP8 PACKAGE SLVS283D - MARCH 2000 - REVISED OCTOBER 2000 APPLICATION INFORMATION power dissipation and junction temperature Specified regulator operation is assured to a junction temperature of 125C; the maximum junction temperature should be restricted to 125C under normal operating conditions. This restriction limits the power dissipation the regulator can handle in any given application. To ensure the junction temperature is within acceptable limits, calculate the maximum allowable dissipation, PD(max), and the actual dissipation, PD, which must be less than or equal to PD(max). The maximum-power-dissipation limit is determined using the following equation: P D(max) * TA + TJmax R qJA Where: TJmax is the maximum allowable junction temperature. RJA is the thermal resistance junction-to-ambient for the package, i.e., 266.2C/W for the 8-terminal MSOP with no airflow. TA is the ambient temperature. The regulator dissipation is calculated using: P D + VI * VO I O Power dissipation resulting from quiescent current is negligible. Excessive power dissipation will trigger the thermal protection circuit.
