SI-3010KM - Allegro MicroSystems, Inc.

Designed to meet the high-current requirements in industrial and

consumer applications; embedded core, memory, or logic supplies; TVs,

VCRs, and office equipment, the SI-3010KM voltage regulator offers

the reduced dropout voltage and low quiescent current essential for

improved efficiency. This device delivers a regulated output at up to

1 A. Integrated thermal and overcurrent protection enhance overall

system reliability. Devices with fixed output voltages are also available.

Quiescent current does not increase significantly as the dropout

voltage is approached, an ideal feature in standby/resume power systems

where data integrity is crucial. Regulator accuracy and excellent

temperature characteristics are provided by a bandgap reference. An

LS-TTL/CMOS-compatible input gives the designer complete control

over power up, standby, or power down. A pnp pass element provides a

dropout voltage of less than 600 mV at 1 A of load current. Low output

voltages eliminate the need for expensive PWM buck converters. The

low dropout voltage permits more efficient regulation before output

regulation is lost.

This device is supplied in a 5-lead TO-252 style surface-mount

plastic package with ground tab to provide a low-resistance path for

maximum heat dissipation.

APPLICATIONS INFORMATION

Input Capacitor (CI, ≥22 µF). This is necessary either

when the input line includes inductance or when the wiring

is long.

Output Capacitor (CO, ≥47 µF). This device is not

designed for a use with a very low ESR output capacitor

such as a ceramic capacitor. Output oscillation may occur

with that kind of capacitor. The recommended ESR is

0.2~2 Ω at T A = 25°C.

Reverse-Bias Protection Diode (D1). Diode D1

provides reverse-bias protection between the input and

output. Sanken type SFPL-52 is recommended.

ENABLE Input. The ENABLE (control) input features

an internal pull-down resistor. Leaving this input open

causes the output to turn off.

Parallel Operation. Parallel operation to increase load

current is not permitted.

 Overvoltage Protection  GND Pin Current

Output Voltage Adjustable Resistors (R1 and R2).

The output voltage is adjusted by R1 and R2. 10 kΩ for

R2 is recommended.

R1 = (VO – Vref)/(Vref/R2)

For an output voltage of 1.5 V or less, diode D1 can be

eliminated and add a 10 kΩ resistor between ADJ and the

junction of R1 and R2.

Determination of DC Input Voltage. The minimum

input voltage VI(min) should be higher than the sum of the

fixed output voltage and the maximum rated dropout

voltage. If setting the output voltage lower than 2.0 V, the

minimum input voltage should be more than 2.4 V.

Overcurrent Protection. The SI-3000KM series has a

built-in fold-back type overcurrent protection circuit, which

limits the output current at a start-up mode. It thus cannot

be used in applications that require current at the start-up

mode such as:

(1) constant-current load,

(2) power supply with positive and negative outputs to

common load (a center-tap type power supply), or

(3) raising the output voltage by putting a diode or a

resistor between the device ground and system ground.

Thermal Protection. Circuitry turns off the pass

transistor when the junction temperature rises above 135°C.

It is intended only to protect the device from failures due to

excessive junction temperatures and should not imply that

output short circuits or continuous overloads are permitted.

APPLICATIONS INFORMATION (cont.)

Heat Radiation and Reliability. The reliability of the

IC is directly related to the junction temperature (TJ) in its

operation. Accordingly, careful consideration should be

given to heat dissipation.

The inner frame on which the integrated circuit is mounted

is connected to the GND terminal (pin 3). Therefore, it is

very effective for heat radiation to enlarge the copper area

that is connected to the GND terminal. The graph illus-

trates the effect of the copper area on the junction-to-

ambient thermal resistance (RθJA).

The junction temperature (TJ) can be determined from

either of the following equations:

TJ = (PD × RθJA) + TA

or TJ = (PD × RθJT) + TT

where PD = IO × (VI – VO) and

RθJT = 6°C/W.
