This ultra-lowdropout LDO responds very quickly to step changes in load, which makes it suitable for low-voltage microprocessor applications. The LP3875-ADJ is developed on a CMOS process, which allows low quiescent-current operation independent of output load current. This CMOS process also allows the LP3875-ADJ to operate under extremely low dropout conditions. * Dropout Voltage: Ultra-low-dropout voltage; typically 38 mV at 150-mA load current and 380 mV at 1.5-A load current. * Ground Pin Current: Typically 6 mA at 1.5-A load current. * Shutdown Mode: Typically 10-nA quiescent current when the SD pin is pulled low. * Adjustable Output Voltage: The output voltage may be programmed via two external resistors. 1 Input Voltage Range: 2.5 V to 7 V Ultra Low Dropout Voltage Low Ground Pin Current Load Regulation of 0.06% 10-nA Quiescent Current in Shutdown Mode Specified Output Current of 1.5-A DC Minimum Output Capacitor Requirements Overtemperature/Overcurrent Protection -40C to +125C Junction Temperature Range Available in DDPAK/TO-263 and SOT-223 Packages 2 Applications * * * * * * * * Microprocessor Power Supplies GTL, GTL+, BTL, and SSTL Bus Terminators Power Supplies for DSPs SCSI Terminator Post Regulators High Efficiency Linear Regulators Battery Chargers Other Battery-Powered Applications Device Information(1) PART NUMBER LP3875-ADJ PACKAGE BODY SIZE (NOM) SOT-223 (5) 6.50 mm x 3.56 mm TO-263 (5) 10.16 mm x 8.42 mm (1) For all available packages, see the orderable addendum at the end of the data sheet. space space space Simplified Schematic LP3875-ADJ SD SD CIN OUTPUT 1.5 A OUT IN INPUT GND R1 CFF ADJ COUT R2 Copyright (c) 2016, Texas Instruments Incorporated 1 An IMPORTANT NOTICE at the end of this data sheet addresses availability, warranty, changes, use in safety-critical applications, intellectual property matters and other important disclaimers.

If Military/Aerospace specified devices are required, contact the TI Sales Office/Distributors for availability and specifications. If used in a dual-supply system where the regulator load is returned to a negative supply, the output must be diode-clamped to ground. The output PMOS structure contains a diode between the IN and OUT pins. This diode is normally reverse biased. This diode will get forward biased if the voltage at the output terminal is forced to be higher than the voltage at the input terminal. This diode can typically withstand 200 mA of DC current and 1 A of peak current. At elevated temperatures, device power dissipation must be derated based on package thermal resistance and heat sink values (if a heat sink is used). If power dissipation causes the junction temperature to exceed specified limits, the device goes into thermal shutdown. 6.2 ESD Ratings V(ESD) (1) Electrostatic discharge VALUE UNIT 2000 V Human body model (HBM), per ANSI/ESDA/JEDEC JS-001 (1) JEDEC document JEP155 states that 500-V HBM allows safe manufacturing with a standard ESD control process. 6.3 Recommended Operating Conditions VIN supply voltage (1) MIN MAX 2.5 7 V 7 V -0.3 Shutdown (SD) voltage Maximum operating current (DC) IOUT Junction temperature (1) -40 UNIT 1.5 A 125 C The minimum operating value for VIN is equal to either [VOUT(NOM) + VDROPOUT] or 2.5 V, whichever is greater. 6.4 Thermal Information LP3875-ADJ THERMAL METRIC (1) NDC (SOT-223) KTT (TO-263) 5 PINS 5 PINS UNIT RJA (2) Junction-to-ambient thermal resistance, High K 65.2 40.3 C/W RJC(top) Junction-to-case (top) thermal resistance 47.2 43.4 C/W RJB Junction-to-board thermal resistance 9.9 23.1 C/W JT Junction-to-top characterization parameter 3.4 11.5 C/W JB Junction-to-board characterization parameter 9.7 22 C/W RJC(bot) Junction-to-case (bottom) thermal resistance n/a 1 C/W (1) (2) 4 For more information about traditional and new thermal metrics, see Semiconductor and IC Package Thermal Metrics.

Typical numbers are at 25C and represent the most likely parametric norm. Output voltage line regulation is defined as the change in output voltage from the nominal value due to change in the input line voltage. Output voltage load regulation is defined as the change in output voltage from the nominal value due to change in load current. The line and load regulation specification contains only the typical number. However, the limits for line and load regulation are included in the output voltage tolerance specification. Dropout voltage is defined as the minimum input to output differential voltage at which the output drops 2% below the nominal value. Dropout voltage specification applies only to output voltages of 2.5 V and above. For output voltages below 2.5 V, the dropout voltage is nothing but the input to output differential, because the minimum input voltage is 2.5 V.

For battery-powered always-on type applications, the very low quiescent current of the LP3875-ADJ in shutdown mode helps reduce battery drain. 7.2 Functional Block Diagram 7.3 Feature Description 7.3.1 Shutdown (SD) The LM3875-ADJ device has a shutdown feature that turns the device off and reduces the quiescent current to 10 nA (typical). 7.3.2 Short-Circuit Protection The LP3875-ADJ is short-circuit protected and, in the event of a peak overcurrent condition, the short-circuit control loop rapidly drives the output PMOS pass element off. Once the power pass element shuts down, the control loop rapidly cycles the output on and off until the average power dissipation causes the thermal shutdown circuit to respond to servo the on/off cycling to a lower frequency. Refer to Power Dissipation for power dissipation calculations. 7.3.3 Dropout Voltage The dropout voltage of a regulator is defined as the minimum input-to-output differential required to stay within 2% of the nominal output voltage. For CMOS LDOs, the dropout voltage is the product of the load current and the RDS(ON) of the internal MOSFET. 7.4 Device Functional Modes 7.4.1 Shutdown Mode A CMOS logic low level signal at the shutdown (SD) pin turns off the regulator. The SD pin must be actively terminated through a 10-k pullup resistor for a proper operation. If this pin is driven from a source that actively pulls high and low (such as a CMOS rail-to-rail comparator), the pullup resistor is not required. This pin must be tied to VIN if not used. 7.4.2 Active Mode When voltage at SD pin of the LP3875-ADJ device is at logic high level, the device is in normal mode of operation. 8 Submit Documentation Feedback Copyright (c) 2003-2016, Texas Instruments Incorporated Product Folder Links: LP3875-ADJ LP3875-ADJ www.ti.com SNVS247E - SEPTEMBER 2003 - REVISED AUGUST 2016 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 LP3875-ADJ device is an LDO linear regulator designed to provide high load current of up to 1.5 A, low dropout voltage, and low quiescent current in shutdown mode. Figure 7 shows the typical application circuit for this device. 8.1.1 Reverse Current Path The internal MOSFET in the LP3875-ADJ 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 200mA continuous and 1-A peak. 8.2 Typical Application LP3875-ADJ SD SD CIN OUTPUT 1.5 A OUT IN INPUT GND R1 CFF ADJ COUT 10 F R2 10 F VOUT = 1.216 u (1 + R1 ) R2 Copyright (c) 2016, Texas Instruments Incorporated Figure 7.

These capacitors must be correctly selected for proper performance. * Input Capacitor: An input capacitor of at least 10 F is required. Ceramic, tantalum, or electrolytic capacitors may be used, and capacitance may be increased without limit. * Output Capacitor: An output capacitor is required for loop stability. It must be located less than 1 cm from the device and connected directly to the output and ground pins using traces which have no other currents flowing through them (see Layout). The minimum value of output capacitance that can be used for stable full-load operation is 10 F, but it may be increased without limit. The output capacitor must have an equivalent series resistance (ESR) value as shown in Figure 8. TI recommends tantalum capacitors for the output capacitor. 10 COUT > 10 PF STABLE REGION COUT ESR (:) 1.0 0.1 .01 .001 0 1 LOAD CURRENT (A) 2 Figure 8. ESR Curve 8.2.2.2 CFF (Feed Forward Capacitor) The capacitor CFF is required to add phase lead and help improve loop compensation. The correct amount of capacitance depends on the value selected for R1 (see Figure 7). Select a capacitor such that the zero frequency as given by the equation shown below is approximately 45 kHz: Fz = 45,000 = 1 / ( 2 x x R1 x CFF ) (1) Use a good-quality ceramic with X5R or X7R dielectric for the CFF capacitor. 8.2.2.3 Selecting a Capacitor Capacitance tolerance and variation with temperature must be considered when selecting a capacitor so that the minimum required amount of capacitance is provided over the full operating temperature range. In general, a good tantalum capacitor shows very little capacitance variation with temperature, but a ceramic capacitor may not be as good (depending on dielectric type). Aluminum electrolytics also typically have large temperature variation of capacitance value. Equally important to consider is how the ESR of a capacitor changes with temperature: this is not an issue with ceramics, as their ESR is extremely low. However, it is very important in tantalum and aluminum electrolytic capacitors. Both show increasing ESR at colder temperatures, but the increase in aluminum electrolytic capacitors is so severe they may not be feasible for some applications (see Capacitor Characteristics). 8.2.2.4 Capacitor Characteristics 8.2.2.4.1 Ceramic For values of capacitance in the 10-F to 100-F range, ceramics are usually larger and more costly than tantalum capacitors but give superior AC performance for bypassing high frequency noise because of very low ESR (typically less than 10 m). However, some dielectric types do not have good capacitance characteristics as a function of voltage and temperature. 10 Submit Documentation Feedback Copyright (c) 2003-2016, Texas Instruments Incorporated Product Folder Links: LP3875-ADJ LP3875-ADJ www.ti.com SNVS247E - SEPTEMBER 2003 - REVISED AUGUST 2016 Z5U and Y5V dielectric ceramics have capacitance that drops severely with applied voltage. A typical Z5U or Y5V capacitor can lose 60% of its rated capacitance with half of the rated voltage applied to it. The Z5U and Y5V also exhibit a severe temperature effect, losing more than 50% of nominal capacitance at high and low limits of the temperature range. If ceramic capacitors are used, TI recommends X7R and X5R dielectric ceramic capacitors as they typically maintain a capacitance range within 20% of nominal over full operating ratings of temperature and voltage. Of course, they are typically larger and more costly than Z5U/Y5U types for a given voltage and capacitance. 8.2.2.4.2 Tantalum TI recommends using solid tantalum capacitors on the output because their typical ESR is very close to the ideal value required for loop compensation. They also work well as input capacitors if selected to meet the ESR requirements previously listed. Tantalums also have good temperature stability: a good-quality tantalum typically shows a capacitance value that varies less than 10-15% across the full temperature range of -40C to +125C. ESR varies only about 2x going from the high to low temperature limits. The increasing ESR at lower temperatures can cause oscillations when marginal quality capacitors are used (if the ESR of the capacitor is near the upper limit of the stability range at room temperature). 8.2.2.4.3 Aluminum Aluminium capacitors offer the most capacitance for the money. The disadvantages are that they are larger in physical size, not widely available in surface mount, and have poor AC performance (especially at higher frequencies) due to higher ESR and equivalent series inductance (ESL). Compared by size, the ESR of an aluminum electrolytic is higher than either tantalum or ceramic, and it also varies greatly with temperature. A typical aluminum electrolytic can exhibit an ESR increase of as much as 50x when going from 25C down to -40C. Also note that many aluminum electrolytics only specify impedance at a frequency of 120 Hz, which indicates they have poor high-frequency performance. Use only aluminum electrolytics that have an impedance specified at a higher frequency (from 20 kHz to 100 kHz) for the LP3875-ADJ. Derating must be applied to the manufacturer's ESR specification, because it is typically only valid at room temperature. Any applications using aluminum electrolytics must be thoroughly tested at the lowest ambient operating temperature where ESR is maximum. 8.2.2.5 Setting The Output Voltage The output voltage is set using the resistors R1 and R2 (see Figure 7). The output is also dependent on the reference voltage (typically 1.216 V) which is measured at the ADJ pin. The output voltage is given by the equation: VOUT = VADJ x ( 1 + R1 / R2) (2) This equation does not include errors due to the bias current flowing in the ADJ pin which is typically about 10 nA. This error term is negligible for most applications. If R1 is > 100k , a small error may be introduced by the ADJ bias current. The tolerance of the external resistors used contributes a significant error to the output voltage accuracy, with 1% resistors typically adding a total error of approximately 1.4% to the output voltage (this error is in addition to the tolerance of the reference voltage at VADJ). 8.2.2.6 Turnon Characteristics for Output Voltages Programmed to 2 V or Less As VIN increases during start-up, the regulator output will track the input until VIN reaches the minimum operating voltage (typically about 2.2 V). For output voltages programmed to 2 V or less, the regulator output may momentarily exceed its programmed output voltage during start-up. Outputs programmed to voltages above 2 V are not affected by this behavior.

In applications where circuit sources are present which generate signals with significant high frequency energy content (> 1 MHz), care must be taken to ensure that this does not affect the device regulator. If RFI/EMI noise is present on the input side of the regulator (such as applications where the input source comes from the output of a switching regulator), good ceramic bypass capacitors must be used at the input pin of the device. If a load is connected to the device output which switches at high speed (such as a clock), the high-frequency current pulses required by the load must be supplied by the capacitors on the device output. Because the bandwidth of the regulator loop is less than 100 kHz, the control circuitry cannot respond to load changes above that frequency. This means the effective output impedance of the device at frequencies above 100 kHz is determined only by the output capacitors. In applications where the load is switching at high speed, the output of the device may need RF isolation from the load. TI recommends that some inductance be placed between the output capacitor and the load, and good RF bypass capacitors be placed directly across the load. PCB layout is also critical in high noise environments, because RFI/EMI is easily radiated directly into PC traces. Noisy circuitry should be isolated from clean circuits where possible, and grounded through a separate path. At MHz frequencies, ground planes begin to look inductive and RFI/EMI can cause ground bounce across the ground plane. In multilayer PCB applications, care must be taken in layout so that noisy power and ground planes do not radiate directly into adjacent layers which carry analog power and ground. 8.2.2.8 Output Noise Noise is specified in two ways: * Spot Noise (or Output Noise Density): the RMS sum of all noise sources, measured at the regulator output, at a specific frequency (measured with a 1-Hz bandwidth). This type of noise is usually plotted on a curve as a function of frequency. * Total Output Noise (or Broad-Band Noise): the RMS sum of spot noise over a specified bandwidth, usually several decades of frequencies. Attention must be paid to the units of measurement. Spot noise is measured in units V/Hz or nV/Hz and total output noise is measured in V(RMS). 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 depend strongly 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 decreases the chance of fitting the die into a smaller package. Increasing the current drawn by the internal reference increases the total supply current (GND pin current). Using an optimized trade-off of the GND pin current and die size, the LP3875-ADJ achieves low noise performance and low quiescent-current operation. The total output noise specification for LP3875-ADJ is presented in the Electrical Characteristics. The output noise density at different frequencies is represented by a curve under Typical Characteristics. 8.2.2.9 Power Dissipation Knowing the device power dissipation and proper sizing of the thermal plane connected to the tab or pad is critical to ensuring reliable operation. Device power dissipation depends on input voltage, output voltage, and load conditions and can be calculated with Equation 3. PD(MAX) = (VIN(MAX) - VOUT) x IOUT (3) Power dissipation can be minimized, and greater efficiency can be achieved, by using the lowest available voltage drop option that would still be greater than the dropout voltage (VDO). However, keep in mind that higher voltage drops result in better dynamic (that is, PSRR and transient) performance. 12 Submit Documentation Feedback Copyright (c) 2003-2016, Texas Instruments Incorporated Product Folder Links: LP3875-ADJ LP3875-ADJ www.ti.com SNVS247E - SEPTEMBER 2003 - REVISED AUGUST 2016 On the TO-263 (KTT) package, the primary conduction path for heat is through the thermal tab into the PCB. In this package, the die is connected directly to the thermal pad and the heat generated in the die (junction) has a direct path through the large thermal tab into the PCB copper area. In the SOT-223 (NDC) package, the primary conduction path for heat is through the GND Tab (pin 5) into the PCB. While the die (junction) is connected directly to the GND tab metal, this thermal path is longer and has a higher thermal resistance value than the TO-263. To ensure the best thermal performance, place as large of a copper area directly under the thermal tab as is possible, and connect the thermal tab, through multiple thermal vias, to an internal ground plane with an appropriate amount of copper PCB area. Power dissipation and junction temperature are most often related by the junction-to-ambient thermal resistance (RJA) of the combined PCB and device package and the temperature of the ambient air (TA), according to Equation 4 or Equation 5: TJ(MAX) = TA(MAX) + (RJA x PD(MAX)) PD(MAX) = (TJ(MAX) - TA(MAX)) / RJA (4) (5) Unfortunately, this RJA is highly dependent on the heat-spreading capability of the particular PCB design, and therefore varies according to the total copper area, copper weight, and location of the planes. The RJA recorded in Thermal Information is determined by the specific EIA/JEDEC JESD51-7 standard for PCB and copperspreading area, and is to be used only as a relative measure of package thermal performance. For a welldesigned thermal layout layout for the TO-263 (KTT) , RJA is actually the sum of the package junction-to-case (bottom) thermal resistance (RJCbot) plus the thermal resistance contribution by the PCB copper area acting as a heat sink. 8.2.2.10 Estimating Junction Temperature The EIA/JEDEC standard recommends the use of psi () thermal characteristics to estimate the junction temperatures of surface mount devices on a typical PCB board application. These characteristics are not true thermal resistance values, but rather package specific thermal characteristics that offer practical and relative means of estimating junction temperatures. These psi metrics are determined to be significantly independent of copper-spreading area. The key thermal characteristics (JT and JB) are given in Thermal Information and are used in accordance with Equation 6 or Equation 7. TJ(MAX) = TTOP + (JT x PD(MAX)) where * * PD(MAX) is explained in Equation 5 TTOP is the temperature measured at the center-top of the device package. TJ(MAX) = TBOARD + (JB x PD(MAX)) (6) where * * PD(MAX) is explained in Equation 5. TBOARD is the PCB surface temperature measured 1-mm from the device package and centered on the package edge. (7) For more information about the thermal characteristics JT and JB, see Semiconductor and IC Package Thermal Metrics; for more information about measuring TTOP and TBOARD, see Using New Thermal Metrics; and for more information about the EIA/JEDEC JESD51 PCB used for validating RJA, see the Thermal Characteristics of Linear and Logic Packages Using JEDEC PCB Designs.

The input supply must be well regulated and free of spurious noise. To ensure that the LP3875-ADJ output voltage is well regulated, the input supply must be at least VOUT + 0.5 V, or 2.5 V, whichever is higher. A minimum capacitor value of 10 F is required to be within 1 cm of the IN pin. 10 Layout 10.1 Layout Guidelines Good PC layout practices must be used or instability can be induced because of ground loops and voltage drops. The input and output capacitors must be directly connected to the IN, OUT, and GND pins of the regulator using traces which do not have other currents flowing in them (Kelvin connect). The best way to do this is to lay out CIN and COUT near the device with short traces to the IN, OUT, and GND pins. Connect the GND pin to the external circuit ground so that the regulator and its capacitors have a singlepoint ground. Note that stability problems have been seen in applications where vias to an internal ground plane were used at the ground points of the device and the input and output capacitors. This was caused by varying ground potentials at these nodes resulting from current flowing through the ground plane. Using a single-point ground technique for the regulator and its capacitors solved the problem. Because high current flows through the traces going into VIN and coming from VOUT, Kelvin connect the capacitor leads to these pins so there is no voltage drop in series with the input and output capacitors. 10.2 Layout Examples VIN GND VOUT CIN COUT R1 CFF SD 1 IN 2 GND 3 OUT 4 ADJ 5 Thermal Vias GND SD R2 Figure 14.
