The topology is basically that of the LM317 except for the pass transistor. Instead of a Darlington NPN with its two diode voltage drop, the LM1084 uses a single NPN. This results in a lower dropout voltage. The structure of the pass transistor is also known as a quasi LDO. The advantage of a quasi LDO over a PNP LDO is its inherently lower quiescent current. The LM1084 is ensured to provide a minimum dropout voltage of 1.5-V over temperature, at full load. Figure 11. Basic Functional Diagram for the LM1084, Excluding Protection Circuitry 7.2 Functional Block Diagram 7.3 Feature Description 7.3.1 Ripple Rejection Ripple rejection is a function of the open loop gain within the feed-back loop (refer to Figure 11 and Figure 14). The LM1084 exhibits 75dB of ripple rejection (typ.). When adjusted for voltages higher than VREF, the ripple rejection decreases as a function of adjustment gain: (1+R1/R2) or VO/VREF. Therefore a 5-V adjustment decreases ripple rejection by a factor of four (-12dB); Output ripple increases as adjustment voltage increases.

The adjust terminal can be bypassed to ground with a capacitor (CADJ). The impedance of the CADJ should be equal to or less than R1 at the desired ripple frequency. This bypass capacitor prevents ripple from being amplified as the output voltage is increased. 1/(2 x fRIPPLE*CADJ) R1 (1) 7.3.2 Load Regulation The LM1084 regulates the voltage that appears between its output and ground pins, or between its output and adjust pins. In some cases, line resistances can introduce errors to the voltage across the load. To obtain the best load regulation, a few precautions are needed. Figure 12 shows a typical application using a fixed output regulator. Rt1 and Rt2 are the line resistances. VLOAD is less than the VOUT by the sum of the voltage drops along the line resistances. In this case, the load regulation seen at the RLOAD would be degraded from the data sheet specification. To improve this, the load should be tied directly to the output pin on the positive side and directly tied to the ground pin on the negative side. Figure 12. Typical Application Using Fixed Output Regulator When the adjustable regulator is used (Figure 13), the best performance is obtained with the positive side of the resistor R1 tied directly to the output pin of the regulator rather than near the load. This eliminates line drops from appearing effectively in series with the reference and degrading regulation. For example, a 5-V regulator with 0.05 resistance between the regulator and load will have a load regulation due to line resistance of 0.05 x IL. If R1 (= 125) is connected near the load the effective line resistance will be 0.05 (1 + R2/R1) or in this case, it is 4 times worse. In addition, the ground side of the resistor R2 can be returned near the ground of the load to provide remote ground sensing and improve load regulation. Figure 13. Best Load Regulation Using Adjustable Output Regulator 10 Submit Documentation Feedback Copyright (c) 1999-2015, Texas Instruments Incorporated Product Folder Links: LM1084 LM1084 www.ti.com SNVS037G - SEPTEMBER 1999 - REVISED JANUARY 2015 Feature Description (continued) 7.3.3 Overload Recovery Overload recovery refers to regulator's ability to recover from a short circuited output. A key factor in the recovery process is the current limiting used to protect the output from drawing too much power. The current limiting circuit reduces the output current as the input to output differential increases. Refer to short circuit curve in the Typical Characteristics section. During normal start-up, the input to output differential is small because the output follows the input. But, if the output is shorted, then the recovery involves a large input to output differential. Sometimes during this condition the current limiting circuit is slow in recovering. If the limited current is too low to develop a voltage at the output, the voltage will stabilize at a lower level. Under these conditions it may be necessary to recycle the power of the regulator in order to get the smaller differential voltage and thus adequate start up conditions. Refer to Typical Characteristics section for the short circuit current vs. input differential voltage. 7.4 Device Functional Modes 7.4.1 Output Voltage The LM1084 adjustable version develops a 1.25-V reference voltage, (VREF), between the output and the adjust pin. As shown in Figure 14, this voltage is applied across resistor R1 to generate a constant current I1. This constant current then flows through R2. The resulting voltage drop across R2 adds to the reference voltage to sets the desired output voltage. The current IADJ from the adjustment terminal introduces an output error. But because it is small (120 uA max), it becomes negligible when R1 is in the 100 range. For fixed voltage devices, R1 and R2 are integrated inside the devices. Figure 14. Basic Adjustable Regulator 7.4.2 Stability Consideration Stability consideration primarily concerns the phase response of the feedback loop. In order for stable operation, the loop must maintain negative feedback. The LM1084 requires a certain amount series resistance with capacitive loads. This series resistance introduces a zero within the loop to increase phase margin and thus increase stability. The equivalent series resistance (ESR) of solid tantalum or aluminum electrolytic capacitors is used to provide the appropriate zero (approximately 500 kHz). Aluminum electrolytics are less expensive than tantalums, but their ESR varies exponentially at cold temperatures; therefore requiring close examination when choosing the desired transient response over temperature. Tantalums are a convenient choice because their ESR varies less than 2:1 over temperature. The recommended load/decoupling capacitance is a 10-uF tantalum or a 50-uF aluminum. These values will assure stability for the majority of applications. The adjustable versions allow an additional capacitor to be used at the ADJ pin to increase ripple rejection. If this is done the output capacitor should be increased to 22 uF for tantalum or to 150 uF for aluminum. Capacitors other than tantalum or aluminum can be used at the adjust pin and the input pin. A 10-uF capacitor is a reasonable value at the input. See Ripple Rejection section regarding the value for the adjust pin capacitor.

The higher the capacitance, the larger the available charge per demand. It is also desirable to provide low ESR to reduce the change in output voltage: V = I x ESR (2) It is common practice to use several tantalum and ceramic capacitors in parallel to reduce this change in the output voltage by reducing the overall ESR. Output capacitance can be increased indefinitely to improve transient response and stability. 7.4.3 Protection Diodes Under normal operation, the LM1084 regulator does not need any protection diode. With the adjustable device, the internal resistance between the adjustment and output terminals limits the current. No diode is needed to divert the current around the regulator even with a capacitor on the adjustment pin. The adjust pin can take a transient signal of 25 V with respect to the output voltage without damaging the device. When an output capacitor is connected to a regulator and the input is shorted, the output capacitor will discharge into the output of the regulator. The discharge current depends on the value of the capacitor, the output voltage of the regulator, and rate of decrease of VIN. In the LM1084 regulator, the internal diode between the output and input pins can withstand microsecond surge currents of 10A to 20A. With an extremely large output capacitor ( 1000 f), and with input instantaneously shorted to ground, the regulator could be damaged. In this case, an external diode is recommended between the output and input pins to protect the regulator, shown in Figure 15. Figure 15.

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 LM1084 is versatile in its applications, including uses in programmable output regulation and local on-card regulation. Or, by connecting a fixed resistor between the ADJUST and OUTPUT terminals, the LM1084 can function as a precision current regulator. An optional output capacitor can be added to improve transient response. The ADJUST terminal can be bypassed to achieve very high ripple-rejection ratios, which are difficult to achieve with standard three-terminal regulators. Please note, in the following applications, if ADJ is mentioned, it makes use of the adjustable version of the part, however, if GND is mentioned, it is the fixed voltage version of the part. 8.2 Typical Applications 8.2.1 1.2-V to 15-V Adjustable Regulator This part can be used as a simple low drop out regulator to enable a variety of output voltages needed for demanding applications.

Figure 16. 1.2-V to 15-V Adjustable Regulator 8.2.1.1 Design Requirements The device component count is very minimal, employing two resistors as part of a voltage divider circuit and an output capacitor for load regulation. 8.2.1.2 Detailed Design Procedure The voltage divider for this part is set based on the equation shown in Figure 16, where R1 is the upper feedback resistor and R2 is the lower feedback resistor.

It uses a simple NPN transistor on the ADJ pin to block or sink the current on the ADJ pin. If the TTL logic is pulled high, the NPN transistor is activated and the part is disabled, outputting approximately 1.25 V. If the TTL logic is pulled low, the NPN transistor is unbiased and the regulator functions normally. Figure 18. 5-V Regulator with Shutdown 8.2.4 Battery Charger The LM1084-ADJ can be used as a battery charger to regulate the charging current required by the battery bank as shown in Figure 19. In this application the LM1084 acts as a constant voltage, constant current part by sensing the voltage potential across the battery and compensating it to the current voltage. To maintain this voltage, the regulator delivers the maximum charging current required to charge the battery. As the battery approaches the fully charged state, the potential drop across the sense resistor, RS,reduces and the regulator throttles back the current to maintain the float voltage of the battery.

The GND pin has a small quiescent current of 5 mA typical. Increasing the resistance on the GND pin increases the voltage potential across the resistor. This potential is then mirrored on to the output to increase the total output voltage by the potential drop across the GND resistor. Figure 20. Adjustable Fixed Regulator 8.2.6 Regulator with Reference A fixed output voltage version of the LM1084-5.0 can be employed to provide an output rail and a reference rail at the same time as shown in Figure 21. This simple application makes use of a reference diode, the LM136-5, to regulate the GND voltage to a fixed 5 V based on the quiescent current generated by the GND pin. This voltage is then added onto the output to generate a total of 10 V out. Figure 21.

The LM1084-ADJ shown in Figure 22 makes use of an external TTL or CMOS input to drive the NPN transistor. This pulls the output of the regulator to a few tenths of a volt and puts the part into current limit. Releasing the logic will reduce the current flow across the lamp into the normal operating current thereby protecting the lamp during startup. Figure 22. High Current Lamp Driver Protection 8.2.8 Battery Backup Regulated Supply A regulated battery backup supply can be generated by using two fixed output voltage versions of the part as shown in Figure 23. The top regulator supplies the Line voltage during normal operation, however when the input is not available, the second regulator derives power from the battery backup and regulates it to 5 V based on the LM1084-5.0. The diodes prevent the rails from back feeding into the supply and batteries. Figure 23.

The capacitor C1 smooths out the ripple on the output by cleaning up the feedback path and preventing excess noise from feeding back into the regulator. Please remember XC1 should be approximately equal to R1 at the ripple frequency. Figure 24. Ripple Rejection Enhancement 8.2.10 Automatic Light Control A common street light control or automatic light control circuit is designed in Figure 25 based on the LM1084ADJ. The photo transistor conducts in the presence of light and grounds the ADJ pin preventing the lamp from turning on. However, in the absence of light, the LM1084 regulates the voltage to 1.25V between OUT and ADJ, ensuring the lamp remains on. Figure 25.

By tying the output to GND, the GND node is at a relatively more negative potential than the output. This is then interfaced to the negative application such as an operational amplifier or any other rail needing negative voltage. Figure 26. Generating Negative Supply Voltage 8.2.12 Remote Sensing Remote sensing is a method of compensating the output voltage to a very precise degree by sensing the output and feeding it back through the feedback. The circuit implementing this is shown in Figure 27 using the LM1084ADJ. The output of the regulator is fed into a voltage follower to avoid any loading effects and the output of the op-amp is injected into the top of the feedback resistor network. This has the effect of modulating the voltage to a precise degree without additional loading on the output. Figure 27.

The minimum dropout voltage (VIN - VOUT) should be met with extra headroom when possible in order to keep the output well regulated. A 10 F or higher capacitor should be placed at the input to bypass noise. 10 Layout 10.1 Layout Guidelines For the best overall performance, some layout guidelines should be followed. Place all circuit components on the same side of the circuit board and as near as practical to the respective linear regulator pins. Traces should be kept short and wide to reduce the amount of parasitic elements into the system. The actual width and thickness of traces will depend on the current carrying capability and heat dissipation required by the end system. An array of plated vias can be placed on the pad area underneath the TAB to conduct heat to any inner plane areas or to a bottom-side copper plane. 10.2 Layout Example Figure 28. Layout Example 10.3 Thermal Considerations ICs heats up when in operation, and power consumption is one factor in how hot it gets. The other factor is how well the heat is dissipated. Heat dissipation is predictable by knowing the thermal resistance between the IC and ambient (JA). Thermal resistance has units of temperature per power (C/W). The higher the thermal resistance, the hotter the IC. The LM1084 specifies the thermal resistance for each package as junction to case (JC). In order to get the total resistance to ambient (JA), two other thermal resistance must be added, one for case to heat-sink (CH) and one for heatsink to ambient (HA). The junction temperature can be predicted as follows: TJ = TA + PD (JC + CH + HA) = TA + PD JA (3) TJ is junction temperature, TA is ambient temperature, and PD is the power consumption of the device. Device power consumption is calculated as follows: 20 Submit Documentation Feedback Copyright (c) 1999-2015, Texas Instruments Incorporated Product Folder Links: LM1084 LM1084 www.ti.com SNVS037G - SEPTEMBER 1999 - REVISED JANUARY 2015 Thermal Considerations (continued) IIN = IL + IG PD = (VIN-VOUT) IL + VINIG (4) (5) Figure 29 shows the voltages and currents which are present in the circuit. Figure 29. Power Dissipation Diagram Once the devices power is determined, the maximum allowable (JA (max)) is calculated as: JA (max) = TR(max)/PD = TJ(max) - TA(max)/PD (6) The LM1084 has different temperature specifications for two different sections of the IC: the control section and the output section. The Thermal Information table shows the junction to case thermal resistances for each of these sections, while the maximum junction temperatures (TJ(max)) for each section is listed in the Absolute Maximum Ratings section of the datasheet. TJ(max) is 125C for the control section, while TJ(max) is 150C for the output section. JA (max) should be calculated separately for each section as follows: JA (max, CONTROL SECTION) = (125C - TA(max))/PD JA (max, OUTPUT SECTION) = (150C - TA(max))/PD (7) (8) The required heat sink is determined by calculating its required thermal resistance (HA (max)). HA (max) = JA (max) - (JC + CH) (HA (max)) (HA (HA (9) should also be calculated twice as follows: = JA (max, CONTROL SECTION) - (JC (CONTROL SECTION) + CH) ) (max) = JA(max, OUTPUT SECTION) - (JC (OUTPUT SECTION) + CH) (max)) (10) (11) If thermal compound is used, CH can be estimated at 0.2 C/W. If the case is soldered to the heat sink, then a CH can be estimated as 0 C/W. After, HA (max) is calculated for each section, choose the lower of the two HA appropriate heat sink. (max) values to determine the If PC board copper is going to be used as a heat sink, then Figure 30 can be used to determine the appropriate area (size) of copper foil required. Figure 30.
