RP108J Series Low Input Voltage 3A LDO Regulator NO.EA-203-150817 OUTLINE The RP108J is a CMOS-based voltage regulator IC featuring 3A output with low ON-resistance. The RP108J consists of a voltage reference unit, an error amplifier, resistor-net for voltage setting, a fold-back protection circuit, and a thermal shutdown circuit. The RP108J features both low supply current and high output current, and the dropout voltage is much smaller than bi-polar's. The minimum input voltage is as low as 1.6V and the output voltage can be set from 0.8V, therefore it can be connected with the DC/DC converter as the latter power supply for high density LSI that is operated by low output voltage. The output voltage of RP108J081x is externally adjustable by using external divide resistors. The CE pin of the RP108J can switch the regulator to standby mode. In addition to a fold-back protection circuit, which is already built in the conventional regulators, The RP108J contains a thermal shutdown circuit, a constant slope circuit as a soft-start function and a reverse current protection circuit. Ceramic capacitors can be used. FEATURES * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * Output Current .............................................................

The semiconductor devices cannot operate normally over the recommended operating conditions, even if when they are used over such conditions by momentary electronic noise or surge. And the semiconductor devices may receive serious damage when they continue to operate over the recommended operating conditions. 6 RP108J NO.EA-203-150817 TYPICAL APPLICATIONS VDD VOUT VOUT RP108Jxx1x C1 C2 VFB CE GND Typical Application VDD RP108J081x C1 VOUT VOUT R1 C2 VFB R2 CE GND Typical application for adjustable output voltage type External Components Symbol Descriptions C1, C2 10F (Ceramic), CM21X7R106M06AB, KYOCERA 7 RP108J NO.EA-203-150817 TECHNICAL NOTES When using the RP108J as an internally fixed output voltage type, please connect the VOUT pin to the VFB pin. However, when using it as the Adjustable Output Voltage Type, The output voltage of the externally adjustable output voltage type should be set to 4.2V or less. Also, total resistors value of R1 and R2 should be 20k or less. Phase Compensation In the IC, phase compensation is made for securing stable operation even if the load current is varied. For this purpose, use a 10F or more capacitor C2. In case of using a tantalum capacitor and its ESR is large, the output may be unstable. Therefore, select C2 carefully considering its frequency characteristics. The recommended temperature characteristics for C1 and C2 capacitors are the followings. B Characteristics: Temperature range from -25C to 85C, Capacitance change of 10% X5R Characteristics: Temperature range from -55C to 85C, Capacitance change of 15% X7R Characteristics: Temperature range from -55C to 125C, Capacitance change of 15% The recommended capacitor's tolerable voltage is twice as large as the voltage of use (C1: Input voltage, C2: Output voltage). The upper limit of the capacitance value for C2 is 100F. However, the increase of C2 leads to the increase of inrush current. Refer to CONSTANT SLOPE CIRCUIT for detailed information. PCB Layout Make VDD and GND lines sufficient. If their impedance is high, noise pickup or unstable operation may result. Connect a capacitor C1 with a capacitance value as much as 10F or more between VDD and GND pin, and as close as possible to the pins. Set external components, especially the output capacitor C2, as close as possible to the ICs and make wiring as short as possible. Transient Response When using the Adjustable Output Voltage Type, the transient response could be affected by the external resistors. Evaluate the circuit taking the actual conditions of use into account. 8 RP108J NO.EA-203-150817 ADUSTABLE OUTPUT VOLTAGE TYPE SETTINGS * Output Voltage Setting Method RP108J081x can be adjusted the output voltage by using the external divider resistors. If the VFB voltage fixed into the IC is described as SetVFB, the output voltage can be set by using the following equations SetVFB is equal to 0.8V. The VOUT pin of RP108J081x should be connected to the VFB pin.

(1) I2= SetVFB / R2......................................................................................................................... (2) I1= IIC + SetVFB /R2.................................................................................................................... (3) Therefore, VOUT= SetVFB x R1 x I1 ............................................................................................................ (4) Put Equation (3) into Equation (4), then VOUT ........................................................................................................................................................= SetVFB + R1(IIC + SetVFB / R2) = SetVFB x (1+R1/ R2) + R1 x IIC....................................................................................... (5) In Equation (5), R1x IIC is the error-causing factor in VOUT. As for IIC, IIC= SetVFB / RIC ........................................................................................................................ (6) Therefore, the error-causing factor R1x IIC can be described as follows. R1xIIC .................................................................................................................................................................................... = R1 x SetVFB / RIC = SetVFB x R1 / RIC .........................................................................................................
