Stresses listed as the absolute maximum ratings may cause permanent damage to the device. These are for stress ratings. Functional operating of the device at these or any other conditions beyond those indicated in the operational sections of the specifications is not implied. Exposure to absolute maximum rating conditions for extended periods may remain possibly to affect device reliability. Note 2. The minimum operating value for input voltage is equal to either (VOUT,NOM + VDROP) or 2.5V, whichever is greater. Note 3. Output voltage line regulation is defined as the change in output voltage from the nominal value due to change in the input line voltage. Output voltage load regulation is defined as the change in output voltage from the nominal value due to change in load current. Note 4. Regulation is measured at constant junction temperature by using a 10ms current pulse. Devices are tested for load regulation in the load range from 10mA to 1A. Note 5. Dropout voltage is defined as the minimum input to output differential voltage at which the output drops 2% below the nominal value. Dropout voltage specification applies only to output voltages of 2.5V and above. For output voltages below 2.5V, the dropout voltage is nothing but the input to output differential, since the minimum input voltage is 2.5V Note 6. Ground current, or quiescent current, is the difference between input and output currents. It's defined by IGND1 = IIN - IOUT under the given loading condition. The total current drawn from the supply is the sum of the load current plus the ground pin current. Note 7. Ground current, or standby current, is the input current drawn by a regulator when the output voltage is disabled by an enable signal. Oct. 2012 – Rev.1.0.6 5/12 HTC 1A Ultra Low Dropout Linear Regulator TJ4210 APPLICATION INFORMATION Introduction TJ4210 is intended for applications where high current capability and very low dropout voltage are required. It provides a simple, low cost solution that occupies very little PCB estate. Additional features include an enable pin to allow for a very low power consumption standby mode, an adjustable pin to provide a fully adjustable output voltage, and SENSE pin to provide better remote load regulation characteristics. Component Selection Input Capacitor : A large bulk capacitance over than 10uF should be closely placed to the input supply pin of the TJ4210 to ensure that the input supply voltage does not sag. Also a minimum of 10uF ceramic capacitor is recommended to be placed directly next to the VIN Pin. It allows for the device being some distance from any bulk capacitor on the rail. Additionally, input droop due to load transients is reduced, improving load transient response. Additional capacitance may be added if required by the application.(See Fig.1) Output Capacitor : A minimum ceramic capacitor over than 10uF should be very closely placed to the output voltage pin of the TJ4210. Increasing capacitance will improve the overall transient response and stability. Decoupling (Bypass) Capacitor : In very electrically noisy environments, it is recommended that additional ceramic capacitors be placed from VIN to GND. The use of multiple lower value ceramic capacitors in parallel with output capacitor also allows to achieve better transient performance and stability if required by the application.(See Fig.1) Feed-Forward Capacitor To get the higher PSRR than the inherent performance of TJ4210, it is recommended that additional ceramic feed-forward capacitor be placed from VOUT pin to ADJ pin. The capacitance of feed-forward capacitor with range of 10pF to 1uF allows to achieve better PSRR performance when required by the application.(See Fig.2) VIN VIN CIN 10uF CC1 VOUT VOUT VIN VIN TJ4210 RP EN GND SENSE COUT 10uF CIN 10uF CC2 CC1 VOUT TJ4210 RP EN GND VOUT CFF R2 COUT 10uF ADJ CC2 R1 Fig. 1. Application with Decoupling Capacitor, CC1 & CC2 Fig. 2. Application with Feed-Forward Capacitor, CFF Delayed Start-Up When power sequence control is required or rising time of input supply voltage is over than 100usec, it is recommended to apply delayed start-up by using Cdelay as shown in Fig. 3. It can adjust proper delay by Rp-Cdelay time constant. And also it can prevent any unexpected transient characteristics at output voltage when the rising time of input supply voltage is as long as 100usec or longer.

The operating condition of VIN and the operating characteristics of VOUT depend on the dropout voltage performance in accordance with output load current presented at Fig. 7. To obtain a desired output voltage, the following equation can be used with R1 resistor range of 100Ω to 50kΩ.

Application for Adjustable Output Voltage To enhance output stability, a feed-forward capacitor of 10nF to 1uF can be placed in series with VOUT and ADJ.(Refer to "Component Selection" Section) SENSE Pin In applications where the regulator output is not very close to the load, the TJ4210 can provide better remote load regulation characteristics using the SENSE pin. TJ4210 regulates the voltage at the output pin. Hence, the voltage at the remote load will be lower than the voltage at the output pin as a value of the voltage drop across the trace series resistance. If the sense option pin is not required, the sense pin must be connected to the VOUT pin. Connecting the sense pin to the remote load will provide regulation at the remote load because the TJ4210 regulates the voltage at the sense pin when the sense option pin is used. Fig. 5. Conventional Linear Regulator Application Fig.6. Remote Load Sense Application Maximum Output Current Capability The TJ4210 can deliver a continuous current of 1A over the full operating junction temperature range. However, the output current is limited by the restriction of power dissipation which differs from packages. A heat sink may be required depending on the maximum power dissipation and maximum ambient temperature of application. With respect to the applied package, the maximum output current of 1A may be still undeliverable due to the restriction of the power dissipation of TJ4210. Under all possible conditions, the junction temperature must be within the range specified under operating conditions. The temperatures over the device are given by: TC = TA + PD X θCA TJ = TC + PD X θJC TJ = TA + PD X θJA Oct. 2012 – Rev.1.0.6 7/12 HTC 1A Ultra Low Dropout Linear Regulator TJ4210 where TJ is the junction temperature, TC is the case temperature, TA is the ambient temperature, PD is the total power dissipation of the device, θCA is the thermal resistance of case-to-ambient, θJC is the thermal resistance of junction-to-case, and θJA is the thermal resistance of junction to ambient. The total power dissipation of the device is given by: PD = PIN – POUT = (VIN X IIN)–(VOUT X IOUT) = (VIN X (IOUT+IGND)) – (VOUT X IOUT) = (VIN - VOUT) X IOUT + VIN X IGND where IGND is the operating ground current of the device which is specified at the Electrical Characteristics. The maximum allowable temperature rise (T Rmax) depends on the maximum ambient temperature (T Amax) of the application, and the maximum allowable junction temperature (T Jmax): TRmax = TJmax – TAmax The maximum allowable value for junction-to-ambient thermal resistance, θJA, can be calculated using the formula: θJA = TRmax / PD TJ4210 is available in SOT223, SOP8-PP and TO252 packages. on amount of copper area or heat sink, and on air flow. The thermal resistance depends If proper cooling solution such as heat sink, copper plane area, or air flow is applied, the maximum allowable power dissipation could be increased. However, if the ambient temperature is increased, the allowable power dissipation would be decreased. The graph above is valid for the thermal impedance specified in the Absolute Maximum Ratings section on page 1. Oct. 2012 – Rev.1.0.6 8/12 HTC 1A Ultra Low Dropout Linear Regulator TJ4210 The θJA could be decreased with respect to the copper plane area. So, the specification of maximum power dissipation for an application is fixed, the proper plane area could be estimated by following graphs. Wider copper plane area leads lower θJA. The maximum allowable power dissipation is also influenced by the ambient temperature. With the θJACopper plane area relationship, the maximum allowable power dissipation could be evaluated with respect to the ambient temperature. As shown in graph, the higher copper plane area leads θJA. And the higher ambient temperature leads lower maximum allowable power dissipation.
