DESCRIPTION
The UTC LXXLD15 is a typical LDO with the feature of very
low dropout voltage as low as 0.2V at output current 1.5A.
For normal operation, two supply voltages are necessary.
One called control voltage from other equipment can shutdown
the output voltage and it should pull and hold the voltage of EN
pin less than 0.3V. Another one is the main supply voltage
whose purpose is for main power conversion to keep the power
dissipation low and to make the dropout voltage lower.
Internally, in the UTC LXXLD15, there’re many functions
which can be seen in the block figure to prevent the IC from
being damaged. Internal Power-On-Reset (POR) circuit can
control the two supply voltages to prevent fault operations of the
circuit. And the thermal shutdown circuit is able to protect the
device from over thermal operation and a current limit function
will keep the device work safely under current over-load.
The UTC LXXLD15 can be used as an ideal to provide well
supply voltage in the applications, such as front-side-bus
termination on motherboard, NB applications, front side bus VTT
(1.2V/1.5A) and note book PC applications.

DESCRIPTION
Ground pin.
There’s an external resistor divider connected to this pin which is necessary to give the
feedback voltage to the regulator. The external circuit is combined as the follow:
between VOUT and FB is R1(connected with a bypass capacitor which can improve the
load transient response),and between FB and ground is R2.The value of R2 and R1 are
recommended between 100Ω~10kΩ.So the output voltage is equals:
R1
VOUT=0.8·(1+
)(V)
R2
The output voltage pin of the regulator. There should be set an output capacitor to
compensate for closed-loop and also to improve transient responses. It’s necessary to
connect Pin 3 and Pin 4 together by wide tracks.
This pin is the main supply input.
It’s necessary to connect the Exposed Pad and VIN together for lower dropout voltage.
Monitoring this pin’s voltage can reset Power-On.
Power input pin of the control circuitry. Connecting this pin to a +5V (recommended)
supply voltage provides the bias for the control circuitry. The voltage at this pin is
monitored for Power-On Reset purpose.
Output pin for Power-OK signal output.
Being an open drain output, through senescing FB voltage, this pin can show the users
the output voltage’s states. That’s this pin will be low under any of these two situations:
the rising FB voltage is not above the VPOK threshold; the falling FB voltage is below the
VPNOK threshold. That indicates the output voltage is not ready for users.
Input Enable control pin. The output voltage can be shut down when this pin is below
0.3V. This pin’s voltage can be set higher than VCNTL voltage by an internal 10μA
current source, and then the regulator will begin working normally.

APPLICATION INFORMATION
1. Power Sequencing
When there’s no main voltage applied at VIN, it is suggested not to apply a voltage to VOUT for a long time.
Because the internal parasitic diode (between VOUT to VIN) will conduct and dissipate power, there’s no protection.
2. Output Capacitor
A proper output capacitor to maintain stability and improve transient response over temperature and current is
necessary. Proper ESR (equivalent series resistance) and capacitance of the output capacitor should be selected
properly for stability of the normal operation and good load transient response.
Many kinds of capacitors can be used as an output capacitor, such as ultra-low-ESR capacitors (like ceramic chip
capacitors), low-ESR bulk capacitors (like solid Tantalum, POSCap, and Aluminum electrolytic capacitors). And also
the value of the output capacitors’ can be increased without limit.
In the applications with large stepping load current, the low-ESR bulk capacitors are normally recommended.
Decoupling ceramic capacitors are recommended to be placed at the load and ground pins very closely and also
the impedance of the layout must be minimized.
3. Input Capacitor
In order to prevent the input rail from dropping, the proper input capacitor to supply current surge during stepping
load transients is required. Because the limited slew rate of the surge currents, more parasitic inductance needs
more input capacitance.
Ultra-low-ESR capacitors (>100mF, ESR<300mW) is recommended for the input capacitor.
4. Feedback Network
The following figure shows the feedback network between VOUT GND and FB pins. Working with the internal error
amplifier, the feedback network can provide proper frequency response for the UTC LXXLD15.
