3 Description
The LP2950-N and LP2951-N are micropower
voltage regulators with very low quiescent current
(75 µA typical) and very low dropout voltage (typical
40 mV at light loads and 380 mV at 100 mA). They
are ideally suited for use in battery-powered systems.
Furthermore, the quiescent current of the device
increases only slightly in dropout, prolonging battery
life.
Careful design of the LP2950-N/LP2951-N has
minimized all contributions to the error budget. This
includes a tight initial tolerance (0.5% typical),
extremely good load and line regulation (0.05%
typical) and a very low output voltage temperature
coefficient, making the part useful as a low-power
voltage reference.
One such feature is an error flag output which warns
of a low output voltage, often due to falling batteries
on the input. It may be used for a power-on reset. A
second feature is the logic-compatible shutdown input
which enables the regulator to be switched on and
off. Also, the part may be pin-strapped for a 5-V, 3-V,
or 3.3-V output (depending on the version), or
programmed from 1.24 V to 29 V with an external
pair of resistors.
The LP2950-N is available in the surface-mount TO-
252 package and in the popular 3-pin TO-92 package
for pin-compatibility with older 5-V regulators. The 8-
pin LP2951-N is available in plastic, ceramic dual-in-
line, WSON, or metal can packages and offers
additional system functions.

(1) Stresses beyond those listed under Absolute Maximum Ratings may cause permanent damage to the device. These are stress ratings
only, which do not imply functional operation of the device at these or any other conditions beyond those indicated under Recommended
Operating Conditions. Exposure to absolute-maximum-rated conditions for extended periods may affect device reliability.
(2) The junction-to-ambient thermal resistances are as follows: 157.4°C/W for the TO-92 (LP) package, 51.3°C/W for the TO-252 (NDP)
package, 56.3°C/W for the molded PDIP (P), 117.7°C/W for the molded plastic SOIC (D), 171°C/W for the molded plastic VSSOP
(DGK). The above thermal resistances for the P, D, and DGK packages apply when the package is soldered directly to the PCB. The
value of RθJA for the WSON (NGT) package is typically 43.3°C/W but is dependent on the PCB trace area, trace material, and the
number of layers and thermal vias. For details of thermal resistance and power dissipation for the WSON package, see AN-1187

(9) Dropout voltage is defined as the input to output differential at which the output voltage drops 100 mV below its nominal value measured
at 1-V differential. At very low values of programmed output voltage, the minimum input supply voltage of 2 V (2.3 V over temperature)
must be taken into account.

(12) Comparator thresholds are expressed in terms of a voltage differential at the FEEDBACK pin below the nominal reference voltage
measured at VIN = (VO(NOM) + 1) V. To express these thresholds in terms of output voltage change, multiply by the error amplifier gain =
VOUT/VREF = (R1 + R2) / R2.For example, at a programmed output voltage of 5 V, the ERROR output is specified to go low when the
output drops by 95 mV × 5 V / 1.235 V = 384 mV. Thresholds remain constant as a percent of VOUT as VOUT is varied, with the dropout
warning occurring at typically 5% below nominal, 7.5% ensured.

8.3 Feature Description
8.3.1 Fixed Voltage Options and Programmable Voltage Version
The LP2950-N and LP2951-N provide 3 fixed output options: 3 V, 3.3 V, and 5 V. Please consult factory for
custom voltages. In order to meet different application requirements, LP2951-N can also be used as a
programmable voltage regulator, with an external resistors network; please refer to Application and
Implementation for more details.
8.3.2 High Accuracy Output Voltage
With special carful design to minimize all contributions to the output voltage error, the LP2950-N/LP2951-N
distinguished itself as a very high output voltage accuracy micro power LDO. This includes a tight initial tolerance
(0.5% typical), extremely good load and line regulation (.05% typical) and a very low output voltage temperature
coefficient, making the part an ideal a low-power voltage reference.
8.3.3 Low Dropout Voltage
Generally speaking, the dropout voltage often refers to the voltage difference between the input and output
voltage (VDO = VIN VOUT), where the main current pass-FET is fully on in the ohmic region of operation and is
characterized by the classic RDS(ON) of the FET. VDO indirectly specifies a minimum input voltage above the
nominal programmed output voltage at which the output voltage is expected to remain within its accuracy
boundary.
8.3.4 Shutdown Mode
When the SHUTDOWN pin is pulled to high level, LP2951-N enters shutdown mode and a very low quiescent
current is consumed. This function is designed for the application which needs a shutdown mode to effectively
enhance battery life cycle.
8.3.5 Error Detection Comparator Output
The LP2951-N generates a logic low output whenever its output falls out of regulation by more than
approximately 5%. Please refer to Application and Implementation for more details.
8.3.6 Internal Protection Circuitry
8.3.6.1 Short-Circuit Protection (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
in a thermal shutdown of the output. A fold back feature limits the short-circuit current to protect the regulator
from damage under all load conditions. If OUT is forced below 0 V before EN goes high and the load current
required exceeds the fold back current limit, the device may not start up correctly.
8.3.6.2 Thermal Protection
The device contains a thermal shutdown protection circuit to turn off the output current when excessive heat is
dissipated in the LDO. The thermal time-constant of the semiconductor die is fairly short, and thus the output
cycles on and off at a high rate when thermal shutdown is reached until the power dissipation is reduced. The
internal protection circuitry of the device is designed to protect against thermal overload conditions. The circuitry
is not intended to replace proper heat sinking. Continuously running the device into thermal shutdown degrades
its reliability.
8.3.7 Enhanced Stability
The LP2950-N and LP2951-N is designed specifically to work with ceramic output capacitors, utilizing circuitry
which allows the regulator to be stable across the entire range of output current with an output capacitor whose
ESR is as low as 6 mΩ. For output capacitor requirement, please refer to Application and Implementation.

8.4 Device Functional Modes
8.4.1 Operation with 30 V VIN > VOUT(TARGET)+1V
The device operate if the input voltage is equal to, or exceeds VOUT(TARGET) + 1 V. At input voltages below the
minimum VIN requirement, the devices do not operate correctly and output voltage may not reach target value.
8.4.2 Operation with Shutdown Control
If the voltage on the SHUTDOWN pin is higher than 1.3 V, the device is disabled. Decreasing shutdown below
0.7 V initiates the start-up sequence of the device.

9 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.
9.1 Application Information
The LP2950-N and LP2951-N are linear voltage regulator operating from 2.3 V to 30 V on the input and
regulates voltages between 1.24 V to 29 V with 0.5% accuracy and 160 mA maximum outputs current. Efficiency
is defined by the ratio of output voltage to input voltage because the LP2950-N and LP2951-N is a linear voltage
regulator. To achieve high efficiency, the dropout voltage (VIN VOUT) must be as small as possible, thus
requiring a very low dropout LDO. Successfully implementing an LDO in an application depends on the
application requirements. If the requirements are simply input voltage and output voltage, compliance
specifications (such as internal power dissipation or stability) must be verified to ensure a solid design. If timing,
start-up, noise, PSRR, or any other transient specification is required, the design becomes more challenging.

For this design example, use the parameters listed in Table 1 as the input parameters.

Input voltage 6.5 V, ±10%, provided by the DC-DC converter switching at 1 MHz
Output voltage 5 V, ±1%
Output current 100 mA (maximum), 1 mA (minimum)
RMS noise, 10 Hz to 100 kHz < 200 µVRMS
PSRR at 1 KHz > 50 dB
9.2.1.2 Detailed Design Procedure
At 100-mA loading, the dropout of the LP2950-N/LP2951-N has 600 mV maximum dropout over temperature,
thus an 1500-mV headroom is sufficient for operation over both input and output voltage accuracy. The efficiency
of the LP2950-N/LP2951-N in this configuration is VOUT / VIN = 76.9%. To achieve the smallest form factor, the
TO-92 package is selected. Input and output capacitors are selected in accordance with the Capacitor
Recommendation section. Ceramic capacitances of 1 µF for the input and one 2.2-µF capacitors for the output
are selected. With an efficiency of 73.3% and a 100-mA maximum load, the internal power dissipation is 150
mW, which corresponds to a 18.9°C junction temperature rise for the TO-92 package. With an 85°C maximum
ambient temperature, the junction temperature is at 103.9°C. To minimize noise, a bypass capacitance (CBYPASS)
of 0.01-µF is selected between pin 7 to pin 1 for LP2951-N.
9.2.1.2.1 Output Capacitor Requirements
A 1-µF (or greater) capacitor is required between the output and ground for stability at output voltages of 5 V or
higher. At lower output voltages, more capacitance is required (2.2 µF or more is recommended for 3-V and
3.3-V versions). Without this capacitor the device oscillates. Most types of tantalum or aluminum electrolytic work
fine here; even film types work but are not recommended for reasons of cost. Many aluminum electrolytics have
electrolytes that freeze at about 30°C, so solid tantalums are recommended for operation below 25°C. The
important parameters of the capacitor are an ESR of about 5 Ωor less and a resonant frequency above 500 kHz.
The value of this capacitor may be increased without limit.

Figure 37. Output Capacitor ESR Range
The reason for the lower ESR limit is that the loop compensation of the feedback loop relies on the capacitance
value and the ESR value of the output capacitor to provide the zero that gives added phase lead (See
Figure 37).
fZ= (1 / (2 × π× COUT × ESR)) (1)
Using the 2.2 µF value from the Output Capacitor ESR Range curve (Figure 37), a useful range for fZcan be
estimated:
fZ(MIN)= (1 / (2 x π× 2.2 µF x 5 )) = 14.5 kHz (2)
fZ(MAX)= (1 / (2 x π× 2.2 µF x 0.05 )) = 318 kHz (3)
For ceramic capacitors, the low ESR produces a zero at a frequency that is too high to be useful, so meaningful
phase lead does not occur. A ceramic output capacitor can be used if a series resistance is added
(recommended value of resistance about 0.1 to 2 ) to simulate the needed ESR. Only X5R, X7R, or better,
MLCC types should be used, and should have a DC voltage rating at least twice the VOUT(NOM) value.
At lower values of output current, less output capacitance is required for stability. The capacitor can be reduced
to 0.33 µF for currents below 10 mA or 0.1 µF for currents below 1 mA. Using the adjustable versions at voltages
below 5 V runs the error amplifier at lower gains so that more output capacitance is needed. For the worst-case
situation of a 100-mA load at 1.23 V output (output shorted to Feedback) a 3.3-µF (or greater) capacitor should
be used.
Unlike many other regulators, the LP2950-N remains stable and in regulation with no load in addition to the
internal voltage divider. This is especially important in CMOS RAM keep-alive applications. When setting the
output voltage of the LP2951-N versions with external resistors, a minimum load of 1 µA is recommended.
Applications having conditions that may drive the LP2950-N/51 into nonlinear operation require special
consideration. Nonlinear operation occurs when the output voltage is held low enough to force the output stage
into output current limiting while trying to pull the output voltage up to the regulated value. The internal loop
response time controls how long it takes for the device to regain linear operation when the output has returned to
the normal operating range. There are three significant nonlinear conditions that need to be considered, all can
force the output stage into output current limiting mode, all can cause the output voltage to over-shoot with low
value output capacitors when the condition is removed, and the recommended generic solution is to set the
output capacitor to a value not less than 10 µF. Although the 10 µF value for COUT may not eliminate the output
voltage over-shoot in all cases, it should lower it to acceptable levels (< 10% of VOUT(NOM)) in the majority of
cases. In all three of these conditions, applications with lighter load currents are more susceptible to output
voltage over-shoot than applications with higher load currents.

Figure 38. LP2951-N Enable Transient
9.2.1.2.2 Input Capacitor Requirements
A minimum 1 µF tantalum, ceramic or aluminum electrolytic capacitor should be placed from the LP2950-
N/LP2951-N input pin to ground if there is more than 10 inches of wire between the input and the AC filter
capacitor or if a battery is used as the input.
9.2.1.2.3 Error Detection Comparator Output
The comparator produces a logic low output whenever the LP2951-N output falls out of regulation by more than
approximately 5%. This figure is the comparator's built-in offset of about 60 mV divided by the 1.235 reference
voltage. (Refer to the block diagram in the front of the datasheet.) This trip level remains “5% below normal”
regardless of the programmed output voltage of the 2951. For example, the error flag trip level is typically 4.75 V
for a 5-V output or 11.4 V for a 12-V output. The out of regulation condition may be due either to low input
voltage, current limiting, or thermal limiting.
Figure 39 below gives a timing diagram depicting the ERROR signal and the regulated output voltage as the
LP2951-N input is ramped up and down. For 5 V versions, the ERROR signal becomes valid (low) at about 1.3-V
input. It goes high at about 5-V input (the input voltage at which VOUT = 4.75 V). Because the LP2951-N dropout
voltage is load-dependent (see curve in typical performance characteristics), the input voltage trip point (about
5 V) varies with the load current. The output voltage trip point (approx. 4.75 V) does not vary with load.
The error comparator has an open-collector output which requires an external pull up resistor. This resistor may
be returned to the output or some other supply voltage depending on system requirements. In determining a
value for this resistor, note that while the output is rated to sink 400 µA, this sink current adds to battery drain in
a low battery condition. Suggested values range from 100 k to 1 MΩ. The resistor is not required if this output is
unused.
*When VIN 1.3 V, the error flag pin becomes a high impedance, and the error flag voltage rises to its pullup voltage.
Using VOUT as the pullup voltage (see Figure 40), rather than an external 5-V source, keeps the error flag voltage
under 1.2 V (typical) in this condition. The user may wish to divide down the error flag voltage using equal-value
resistors (10 ksuggested), to ensure a low-level logic signal during any fault condition, while still allowing a valid
high logic level during normal operation.

9.2.1.2.4 Programming the Output Voltage (LP2951-N)
The LP2951-N may be pin-strapped for the nominal fixed output voltage using its internal voltage divider by tying
the output and sense pins together, and also tying the FEEDBACK and VTAP pins together. Alternatively, it may
be programmed for any output voltage between its 1.235-V reference and its 30-V maximum rating. As seen in
Figure 40, an external pair of resistors is required.
The complete equation for the output voltage is
where
VREF is the nominal 1.235-V reference voltage and IFB is the FEEDBACK pin bias current, nominally –20 nA (7)
The minimum recommended load current of 1 µA forces an upper limit of 1.2 MΩon the value of R2, if the
regulator must work with no load (a condition often found in CMOS in standby). IFB produces a 2% typical error in
VOUT which may be eliminated at room temperature by trimming R1. For better accuracy, choosing R2= 100 k
reduces this error to 0.17% while increasing the resistor program current to 12 µA. Because the LP2951-N
typically draws 60 µA at no load with pin 2 open-circuited, this is a small price to pay.
*Drive with TTL-high to shut down. Ground or leave open if shutdown feature is not to be used.
Note: Pins 2 and 6 are left open.
Figure 40. Adjustable Regulator
Stray capacitance to the LP2951-N FEEDBACK pin can cause instability. This may especially be a problem
when using high value external resistors to set the output voltage. Adding a 100-pF capacitor between the OUT
pin and the FEEDBACK pin, and increasing the output capacitor to at least 3.3 µF, fixes this problem.
9.2.1.2.5 Reducing Output Noise
In reference applications it may be advantageous to reduce the AC noise present at the output. One method is to
reduce the regulator bandwidth by increasing the size of the output capacitor. This is the only way noise can be
reduced on the 3-lead LP2950-N but is relatively inefficient, as increasing the capacitor from 1 µF to 220 µF only
decreases the noise from 430 µVRMS to 160 µVRMS for a 100-kHz bandwidth at 5-V output.
Noise can be reduced fourfold by a bypass capacitor across R1, because it reduces the high frequency gain from
4 to unity. Pick
(8)
or about 0.01 µF. When doing this, the output capacitor must be increased to 3.3 µF to maintain stability. These
changes reduce the output noise from 430 µV to 100 µV rms for a 100-kHz bandwidth at 5-V output. With the
bypass capacitor added, noise no longer scales with output voltage so that improvements are more dramatic at
higher output voltages.

9.2.6 Regulator with Early Warning and Auxiliary Output
The LP2951 can be used to build a Regulator with early warning and auxiliary output as Figure 48 shows. it has
below features:
Early warning flag on low input voltage
Main output latches off at lower input voltages
Battery backup on auxiliary output
Operation: VOUT of regulator 1 is programmed one diode drop above 5 V. Its error flag becomes active when
VIN 5.7 V. When VIN drops below 5.3 V, the error flag of regulator 2 becomes active and via Q1 latches the
main output off. When VIN again exceeds 5.7 V regulator 1 is back in regulation and the early warning signal
rises, unlatching regulator 2 via D3.
Figure 48. Regulator With Early Warning and Auxiliary Output
9.2.7 Latch Off When Error Flag Occurs
As Figure 49 presents, a latch off when error flag occurs circuit works in below two mode:
When output is within ±95% of VOUT option, the error flag pin keep output high, which turns off PNP bipolar and
pulls SD pin to low, then the LP2951 keeps output regulated voltage.
When output drop to less than 95% of VOUT option, it triggers error flag output a low voltage, which turns on PNP
bipolar and pulls SD pin to high, then the device enters shutdown mode and turns off output voltage. During a
shutdown sequence, the ERROR pin continues output low, and the LP2951 device latches in shutdown mode.

9.2.12 Low Battery Disconnect
In Figure 54, a band-gap voltage reference LM385 is used to generate shutdown signal, when Vin < 5.5 V, the
LP2951 turns off and turns on again when VIN > 6 V.
For values shown, regulator shuts down when Vin < 5.5 V and turns on again at 6 V. Current drain in disconnected
mode is approximately 150 µA.

In Figure 55, temperature sensors LM34/35's output voltage is linearly proportional to the Celsius (Centigrade)
temperature.
At room temperature, LM34/35's output voltage is lower than 1.235-V feedback voltage, the internal pass
transistor fully turns on, and the LP2951 output voltage is close to VIN.
When ambient temperature raise higher than protection target, LM34/35's output voltage is higher than 1.235-V
feedback voltage, the internal pass transistor turns off, and the LP2951 output goes off.

10 Power Supply Recommendations
The LP2950-N and LP2951-N are designed to operate from an input voltage supply range between 2.3 V and
30 V. The input voltage range provides adequate headroom in order for the device to have a regulated output.
This input supply must be well regulated. If the input supply is noisy, additional input capacitors with low ESR can
help improve the output noise performance.
11 Layout
11.1 Layout Guidelines
For best overall performance, place all circuit components on the same side of the circuit board and as near as
practical to the respective LDO pin connections. Place ground return connections to the input and output
capacitor, and to the LDO ground pin as close to each other as possible, connected by a wide, component-side,
copper surface. The use of vias and long traces to create LDO circuit connections is strongly discouraged and
negatively affects system performance. This grounding and layout scheme minimizes inductive parasitics, and
thereby reduces load-current transients, minimizes noise, and increases circuit stability.
A ground reference plane is also recommended and is either embedded in the PCB itself or located on the
bottom side of the PCB opposite the components. This reference plane serves to assure accuracy of the output
voltage, shield noise, and behaves similar to a thermal plane to spread (or sink) heat from the LDO device. In
most applications, this ground plane is necessary to meet thermal requirements.

11.3 WSON Mounting
The NGT (no pullback) 8-lead WSON package requires specific mounting techniques which are detailed in AN-
1187 Leadless Leadframe Package (LLP). Referring to the PCB Design Recommendations section, note that the
pad style which should be used with the WSON package is the NSMD (non-solder mask defined) type.
Additionally, TI recommends that the PCB terminal pads to be 0.2 mm longer than the package pads to create a
solder fillet to improve reliability and inspection.
The thermal dissipation of the WSON package is directly related to the printed circuit board construction and the
amount of additional copper area connected to the DAP.
For the LP2951-N in the NGT 8-lead WSON package, the junction-to-case thermal rating, RθJC, is 35°C/W, where
the case is the bottom of the package at the center of the DAP.
The DAP (exposed pad) on the bottom of the WSON package is connected to the die substrate with a conductive
die attach adhesive. The DAP has no direct electrical (wire) connection to any of the eight pins. There is a
parasitic PN junction between the die substrate and the device ground. As such, it is strongly recommend that
the DAP be connected directly to the ground at device lead 4 (that is, GND). Alternately, but not recommended,
the DAP may be left floating (that is, no electrical connection). The DAP must not be connected to any potential
other than ground.
