PRODUCT OVERVIEW
The 88PL810/88PL815/88PL830 family of devices are
high current ultra-low-dropout linear (LDO) regulators,
featuring up to 235mV at 3A dropout voltage and very
low ground current. Quiescent current is typically 1.5mA
and drops to 0.1A in shutdown. The devices protect
themselves from short circuit conditions by turning OFF
for about 6ms and ON ("hiccup"), thereby limiting
temperature rise. In "Hot-Swap" applications, no
additional circuitry is required since these devices have
an integrated "Soft Start" mode. Additionally, a unique
output voltage programming technique is used to provide
eight output voltage options.
The whole 88PL810/15/30 family’s output voltage can be
adjusted to 8 different levels between 2.4V and 2.75V
(2% or 50mV per step), for an input voltage range of
2.7V to 3.6V. This voltage is defined by the user with a
single external resistor (RVSET). The 88PL810 device is
adjustable in 30mV steps and the 88PL815 device is
adjustable in 36mV steps.
The 88PL810/88PL815/88PL830 devices are stable with
a 10µF ceramic output capacitor. However, any other
type of capacitor up to 1000µF can be placed in parallel
with it as long as the 10µF ceramic output capacitor is
placed next to the 88PL810/88PL815/88PL830.

3.1 Output Voltage AnyVoltage Technology
For 88PL830, the output voltage is set by using a single resistor (RVSET) to provide eight output
voltage options from 2.40V to 2.75V in 50mV steps (See Table 4). The Rresistor is only read once
during start-up before the output voltage is turned on; therefore, the output voltage cannot be
changed on-the-fly. To configure the outp ut to a different voltage either power has to recycle or the
enable input has to turn OFF and back ON.
Figure 3 shows the startup sequence of the 88PL830. Once the input voltage (VIN) is above the
under voltage lockout (UVLO) upper threshold (UTH) of 2.65V, the VSET pin becomes active.
Current is sourced out of this pin in exponentially increasing steps. After each step there is a
blanking time before the VSET voltage is compared to an internal 1.2V reference. If the VSET
voltage is below this reference voltage, the current source proceeds to the next set. Once the VSET
voltage is above the reference voltage the sequen ce stops and the output voltage (Vout) is allowed
to turn-on. Figure 4 shows the VSET waveform for a 2.5V output. The 88PL830 keeps track of how
many steps were required to determine the appropriate output voltage. Table 4 provides the number
of steps necessary for each output voltage option. Using a 31.6k resistor requires the current
source to step 7 times, see Figure 4.

The 88PL810/88PL815/88PL830 devices provide an innovative technique to set the output voltage.
The output voltage is determined during startup by the device reading the value of an external
resistor that is located outside the regulator's feedback loop. By placing the output
voltage-programming resistor outside the regulator's feedback loop, its tolerance does not affect the
accuracy of the output voltage. Normally, adjustable regulators use 1% resistors to set the output
voltage. However, these resistors are located inside the feedback loop, introducing as much as 2%
of initial accuracy error to the output voltage, resulting in an overall initial accuracy of 3%. The
88PL810/88PL815/88PL83 0 initial accuracy is 2% for any of the eight output voltages.
The VSET pin is sensitive to excessive leakage currents and stray capacitance. The output voltage
can potentially be programmed to the lower output voltage if there is contamination that introduces
excessive leakage current on the VSET pin, especially for a RVSET of 475k. The parasitic
resistance on the node must be greater than 3M and the stray capacitance must be equal to 25pF
or less.
3.2 Soft Start
Soft st art is a highly desirable property in "Hot-Swap" applications. Most LDOs start-up within 100μs,
producing large inrush currents on the input power supply. The 88PL810/88PL815/88PL830 device
controls the rise time of the output voltage, thereby dramati c ally reducing the inrush current. The
88PL830 device rise time is typically 3ms and it is independent of output capacitance and load
current. Figure 5 shows the rise time with a 10μF output capacitor at 50mA load and Figure 6 shows
the rise time with a 1000μF output capacitor at 500mA load. Even with these extreme loading
conditions and different inrush current, the output voltage rise time difference is less than 0.1ms.
Also note that the output voltage starts at near 0V while other LDO soft start techniques typically
start at 1.25V.

3.3 Hiccup Current Limit
The "Hiccup" short-circuit protection is a feature that is not common among other LDOs. When the
current-sense circuit sees an over-current condition , the 88PL 810/88PL815/88PL83 0 device shuts
off for about 6ms and then tries to start up again, see Figure 7. If the over-load condition is removed,
the 88PL810/88PL815/88PL830 devices will start-up normally; otherwise, the
88PL810/88PL815/88PL830 device will see another over-current event and shut off again, repeating
the previous cycle.
.
Hiccup mode protection offers protection against over current situations, since it limits the average
current to the load at a low level, reducing power dissipation and case temperature of the IC. The
88PL810/88PL815/88PL830 device case temperature will only rise about 20°C and have a case
temperature of around 45°C at room, reducing the thermal stress on the device.
Figure 8 shows the response ti me of the current limit circuitry. The response time of the protection
circuit must be quick enough to prevent damage from overloads, yet allow enough time to response
to transient loads without prematurely tripping the protecti on circuit.

3.4 Output Capacitor (COUT) Selection
The 88PL810/88PL815/88 P L830 device requires a 10μF ceramic output capacitor as part of the
frequency compensation. However, any other type of capacitor up to 1000μF can be pla ced in
parallel with it as long as the 10μF ceramic output capacitor is placed next to the
88PL810/88PL815/88PL83 0 device. Additional output capacitance further improves load-transient
response and power supply rejection.
X7R and X5R type ceramic capacitors are recommended because of their performance over
temperature. Capacitance of the X7R type capacitors changes only 15% over their operating
temperature range. Y5V and Z5U type ceramic capacitors change value by as much as 60% and
50%, respectively, over their operating temperature range. If Y5V type ceramic capacitors are used,
then higher value capacitor in comparison with X7R and X5R capacitors must be used to ensure a
sufficient capacitance value over the operating temperature range. The following capacitors are
some of the capacitors recommended to be used with the 88PL810/88PL815/88PL830.
3.5 Input Capacitor
An input capacitor of 1μF or greater is required between the 88PL810/88PL815/88PL830 device's
VIN pin and ground. It must be placed as close as possible to the 88PL810/88PL815/88PL830
device for stable operation. While 1μF will provide adequate bypassing of the VIN supply, larger
value input capacitors (10μF) can improve bypassing to handle fast transient response
requirements.
3.6 Enable
The 88PL810/88PL815/88 P L830 devices feature an active high enable (EN) inpu t that allows
ON/OFF control of the device. Near "zero" current drain is achieved when the device is disabled,
with only microamperes of leakage current flow. The EN input includ es TTL/CMOS compatible
thresholds for simple interfacing with logic, or that may be directly tied to VIN for a constant ON state.
The enable input must not be left floating; it must be tied either high or low.
3.7 Minimum Load Current
The 88PL810/88PL815/88PL830 device, unlike most other high current regulators, does not require
a minimum load to maintain output voltage regulation.

3.8 Undervoltage Lockout (UVLO)
The 88PL810/88PL815/88PL830 incorporates undervoltage-lockout circuitry to disable the LDO
when the input voltage is below 2.45V (typical). The LDO is enabled when the input voltage is above
2.60V (typical).
3.9 Thermal Shutdown
When the junction temperature of the 88 PL810/88PL815/88PL830 de vice exceeds 150C (typical),
the thermal shutdown circuitry disables the LDO. The LDO is enabled when the junction
temperature is decreased to 120C (typical).

3.10 Thermal Considerations
The power handling capability of the device is limited by the maximum rated junction temperature
(125°C). The power dissipated by the device is made up of two components:
1. Output current multiplied by the differential of input and outpu t voltage: (IOUT) (V IN-VOUT).
2. Input current into the device (used by internal circuitry in mA) multiplied by the input voltage:
(IQ)(VIN)
The actual power dissipation (PD) will be the sum of the two components listed above:
PD = (IOUT) (VIN - VOUT) + (IQ) (VIN)
To determine the maximum power dissipation (PD (max)) of the p ackage, use the junction-to-ambient
thermal resistance ( θJA) of the device and the following equation:
Where TJ (max) is the maximum junction temperature of the die (125C) and TA (max) is the ambient
operating temperature. Note that θJA is layout dependent.
A heat sink effectively increases the surface area of the package to improve the flow of heat away
from the IC and into the air. Each material in the heat flow between the IC and the outside
environment has a thermal resistance. Starting from the die, we have θJC (junction to case), θCS
(case to heat sink), and θSA (heat sink to ambient). These thermal resistances are added together to
determine the total thermal resistance between the die and the air, θJA.
θJA = θJC + θCS+ θSA
The value for θSA is dependent on the heat sink, where the θCS is dependent on the package type
and contact between heat sink and package. The proper heat sink can be selected based on the
following equation:
The θJA can be calculated after the proper heat sink is selected.
To prevent the device from entering Thermal Shutdown, the actual power dissipation needs to be
equal or less than the maximum power dissipation:
