LP3986 300mA,Ultra-LowNoise Ultra-fast CMOS LDO Regrlator General Description Features The LP3986 is designed for portable RF and wireless applications with demanding performance and space requirements. The LP3986 performance is optimized for battery-powered systems to deliver ultra low noise and low quiescent current. A noise bypass pin is available for further reduction of output noise. Regulator ground current increases only slightly in dropout, further prolonging the battery life. The LP3986 also works with low-ESR ceramic capacitors, reducing the amount of board space necessary for power applications, critical in hand-held wireless devices. The LP3986 consumes less than 0.01µA in shutdown mode and has fast turn-on time less than 50µs. The other features include ultra low dropout voltage, high output accuracy, current limiting protection, and high ripple rejection ratio. Available in the 5-lead of SOT-23 packages.

Using a capacitor whose value is > 1µF on the LP3986 input and the amount of capacitance can be increased without limit. The input capacitor must be located a distance of not more than 0.5 inch from the input pin of the IC and returned to a clean analog ground. Any good quality ceramic or tantalum can be used for this capacitor. The capacitor with larger value and lower ESR (equivalent series resistance) provides better PSRR and line-transient response. The output capacitor must meet both requirements for minimum amount of capacitance and ESR in all LDOs application. The LP3986 is designed specifically to work with low ESR ceramic output capacitor in space-saving and performance consideration. Using a ceramic capacitor whose value is at least 1µF with ESR is > 25mΩ on the LP3986 output ensures stability. The LP3986 still works well with output capacitor of other types due to the wide stable ESR range. Figure 1 shows the curves of allowable ESR range as a function of load current for various output capacitor values. Output capacitor of larger capacitance can reduce noise and improve load transient response, stability, and PSRR. The output capacitor should be located not more than 0.5 inch from the VOUT pin of the LP3986 and returned to a clean analog ground. Enable Function The LP3986 features an LDO regulator enable/disable function. To assure the LDO regulator will switch on, the EN turn on control level must be greater than 1.2 volts. The LDO regulator will go into the shutdown mode when the voltage on the EN pin falls below 0.4 volts. For to protecting the system, the LP3986 have a quick-discharge function. If the enable function is not needed in a specific application, it may be tied to VIN to keep the LDO regulator in a continuously on state. Bypass Capacitor and Low Noise Connecting a 22nF between the BP pin and GND pin significantly reduces noise on the regulator output, it is critical that the capacitor connection between the BP pin and GND pin be direct and PCB traces should be as short as possible. There is a relationship between the bypass capacitor value and the LDO regulator turn on time. DC leakage on this pin can affect the LDO regulator output noise and voltage regulation performance. Start-up Function Thermal Considerations Thermal protection limits power dissipation in LP3986. When the operation junction temperature exceeds 165°C, the OTP circuit starts the thermal shutdown function turn the pass element off. The pass element turn on again after the junction temperature cools by 30°C. For continue operation, do not exceed absolute LP3986-datasheet Oct.-2003 6-9 LP3986 and TA is the maximum ambient temperature. The junction to ambient thermal resistance (θJA is layout dependent) for SOT-23-5 package is 250°C/W. PD(MAX) = (125°C−25°C) / 250 = 400mW (SOT-23-5) PD(MAX) = (125°C−25°C) / 165 = 606mW The maximum power dissipation depends on operating ambient temperature for fixed TJ(MAX) and thermal maximum operation junction temperature 125°C. The power dissipation definition in device is : PD = (VIN−VOUT) x IOUT + VIN x IQ The maximum power dissipation depends on the thermal resistance of IC package, PCB layout, the rate of surroundings airflow and temperature difference between junction to ambient. The maximum power dissipation can be calculated by following formula : PD(MAX) = ( TJ(MAX) − TA ) /θJA Where TJ(MAX) is the maximum operation junction temperature 125°C, TA is the ambient temperature and the θJA is the junction to ambient thermal resistance. For recommended operating conditions specification of LP3986, where TJ(MAX) is the maximum junction temperature of the die (125°C) LP3986-datasheet Oct.-2003 resistance θJA. 7-9 LP3986 Package Information LP3986-datasheet Oct.-2003 8-9 LP3986 Package Information LP3986-datasheet Oct.-2003 9-9
