APPLICATIONS INFORMATION
Reverse Bias Protection
Reverse bias is a condition caused when the input voltage
goes to zero, but the output voltage is kept high either by a
large output capacitor or another source in the application
which feeds the output pin.
Normally in a bipolar LDO all the current will flow from
the output pin to input pin through the PN junction with
limited current capability and with the potential to destroy
the IC.
Due to an improved architecture, the NCP3334A can
withstand up to 7.0 V on the output pin with virtually no
current flowing from output pin to input pin, and only
negligible amount of current (tens of mA) flowing from the
output pin to ground for infinite duration.
Input Capacitor
An input capacitor of at least 1.0 mF, any type, is
recommended to improve the transient response of the
regulator and/or if the regulator is located more than a few
inches from the power source. It will also reduce the circuit’s
sensitivity to the input line impedance at high frequencies.
The capacitor should be mounted with the shortest possible
track length directly across the regulars input terminals.
Output Capacitor
The NCP3334A remains stable with any type of capacitor
as long as it fulfills its 1.0 mF requirement. There are no
constraints o n the minimum ESR and it will remain stable up
to an ESR of 5.0 W. Larger capacitor values will improve the
noise rejection and load transient response.
Adjustable Operation
The output voltage can be set by using a resistor divider
with a range of 1.178 to 10 V. The appropriate resistor
divider can be found by solving the equation below. The
recommended current through the resistor divider is from
10 mA to 100 mA. This can be accomplished by selecting
resistors in the kW range. As result, the Iadj*R2 becomes
negligible in the equation and can be ignored.
Vout +1.178 * ǒ1)R1
R2Ǔ)Iadj *R2 (eq. 1)
Dropout Voltage
The voltage dropout is measured at 97% of the nominal
output voltage.
Thermal Considerations
Internal t hermal l imiting c ircuitry i s p rovided t o p rotect the
integrated circuit in the event that the maximum junction
temperature is exceeded. This feature provides protection
from a catastrophic device failure due to accidental
overheating. T his protection feature i s n ot intended t o be used
as a substitute to h eat sinking. The maximum po wer that can
be dissipated, can be calculated with the equation below:
PD+TJ(max) *TA
RqJA (eq. 2)
For improved thermal performance, contact the factory
for the WDFN package option. The WDFN package
includes an exposed metal pad that is specifically designed
to reduce the junction to air thermal resistance, RqJA.
