LP3892
1.5A Fast-Response Ultra Low Dropout Linear
Regulators
General Description
Features
The LP3892 is a high current, fast response regulator which
can maintain output voltage regulation with minimum input to
output voltage drop. Fabricated on a CMOS process, the
device operates from two input voltages: Vbias provides
voltage to drive the gate of the N-MOS power transistor,
while Vin is the input voltage which supplies power to the
load. The use of an external bias rail allows the part to
operate from ultra low Vin voltages. Unlike bipolar regulators, the CMOS architectutre consumes extremely low quiescent current at any output load current. The use of an
N-MOS power transistor results in wide bandwidth, yet minimum external capacitance is required to maintain loop stability.
The fast transient response of these devices makes them
suitable for use in powering DSP, Microcontroller Core voltages and Switch Mode Power Supply post regulators. The
parts are available in TO-220 and TO-263 packages.

Note 1: Absolute maximum ratings indicate limits beyond which damage to the component may occur. Operating ratings indicate conditions for which the device
is intended to be functional, but do not guarantee specific performance limits. For guaranteed specifications, see Electrical Characteristics. Specifications do not
apply when operating the device outside of its rated operating conditions.
Note 2: At elevated temperatures, device power dissipation must be derated based on package thermal resistance and heatsink thermal values. θJ-A for TO-220
devices is 65˚C/W if no heatsink is used. If the TO-220 device is attached to a heatsink, a θJ-S value of 4˚C/W can be assumed. θJ-A for TO-263 devices is
approximately 40˚C/W if soldered down to a copper plane which is at least 1.5 square inches in area. If power dissipation causes the junction temperature to exceed
specified limits, the device will go into thermal shutdown.
Note 3: The human body model is a 100 pF capacitor discharged through a 1.5k resistor into each pin.
Note 4: Typical numbers represent the most likely parametric norm for 25˚C operation.
Note 5: Limits are guaranteed through testing, statistical correlation, or design.
Note 6: If used in a dual-supply system where the regulator load is returned to a negative supply, the output pin must be diode clamped to ground.
Note 7: Output voltage line regulation is defined as the change in output voltage from nominal value resulting from a change in input voltage.
Note 8: Output voltage load regulation is defined as the change in output voltage from nominal value as the load current increases from no load to full load.
Note 9: Dropout voltage is defined as the minimum input to output differential required to maintain the output with 2% of nominal value.
Note 10: The machine model is a 220 pF capacitor discharged directly into each pin. The machine model ESD rating of pin 5 is 100V.

LP389X devices. The regulator output can tolerate ceramic
capacitance totaling up to 15% of the amount of Tantalum
capacitance connected from the output to ground.
Application Hints
VBIAS RESTRICTIONS FOR PROPER START-UP
To prevent misoperation, ensure that VBIAS is below 50mV
before start-up is initiated. This scenario can occur in systems with a backup battery using reverse-biased "blocking"
diodes which may allow enough leakage current to flow into
the VBIAS node to raise it’s voltage slightly above ground
when the main power is removed. Using low leakage diodes
or a resistive pull down can prevent the voltage at VBIAS from
rising above 50mV. Large bulk capacitors connected to
VBIAS may also cause a start-up problem if they do not
discharge fully before re-start is initiated (but only if VBIAS is
allowed to fall below 1V). A resistor connected across the
capacitor will allow it to discharge more quickly. It should be
noted that the probability of a "false start" caused by incorrect logic states is extremely low.
INPUT CAPACITOR
The input capacitor must be at least 10 µF, but can be
increased without limit. It’s purpose is to provide a low
source impedance for the regulator input. Ceramic capacitors work best for this, but Tantalums are also very good.
There is no ESR limitation on the input capacitor (the lower,
the better). Aluminum electrolytics can be used, but their
ESR increase very quickly at cold temperatures. They are
not recommended for any application where temperatures
go below about 10˚C.
BIAS CAPACITOR
The 0.1µF capacitor on the bias line can be any good quality
capacitor (ceramic is recommended).
EXTERNAL CAPACITORS
BIAS VOLTAGE
To assure regulator stability, input and output capacitors are
required as shown in the Typical Application Circuit.
The bias voltage is an external voltage rail required to get
gate drive for the N-FET pass transistor. Bias voltage must
be in the range of 4.5 - 6V to assure proper operation of the
part.
OUTPUT CAPACITOR
At least 10µF of output capacitance is required for stability
(the amount of capacitance can be increased without limit).
The output capacitor must be located less than 1 cm from
the output pin of the IC and returned to a clean analog
ground. The ESR (equivalent series resistance) of the output
capacitor must be within the "stable" range as shown in the
graph below over the full operating temperature range for
stable operation.
UNDER VOLTAGE LOCKOUT
The bias voltage is monitored by a circuit which prevents the
regulator output from turning on if the bias voltage is below
approximately 4V.
SHUTDOWN OPERATION
Pulling down the shutdown (S/D) pin will turn-off the regulator. Pin S/D must be actively terminated through a pull-up
resistor (10 kΩ to 100 kΩ) for a proper operation. If this pin
is driven from a source that actively pulls high and low (such
as a CMOS rail to rail comparator), the pull-up resistor is not
required. This pin must be tied to Vin if not used.
POWER DISSIPATION/HEATSINKING
A heatsink may be required depending on the maximum
power dissipation and maximum ambient temperature of the
application. Under all possible conditions, the junction temperature must be within the range specified under operating
conditions. The total power dissipation of the device is given
by:
PD = (VIN−VOUT)IOUT+ (VIN)IGND
where IGND is the operating ground current of the device.
The maximum allowable temperature rise (TRmax) depends
on the maximum ambient temperature (TAmax) of the application, and the maximum allowable junction temperature
(TJmax):
TRmax = TJmax− TAmax
The maximum allowable value for junction to ambient Thermal Resistance, θJA, can be calculated using the formula:
θJA = TRmax / PD
20069631
Minimum ESR vs Output Load Current
Tantalum capacitors are recommended for the output as
their ESR is ideally suited to the part’s requirements and the
ESR is very stable over temperature. Aluminum electrolytics
are not recommended because their ESR increases very
rapidly at temperatures below 10˚C. Aluminum caps can only
be used in applications where lower temperature operation
is not required.
A second problem with Al caps is that many have ESR’s
which are only specified at low frequencies. The typical loop
bandwidth of a linear regulator is a few hundred kHz to
several MHz. If an Al cap is used for the output cap, it must
be one whose ESR is specified at a frequency of 100 kHz or
more.
Because the ESR of ceramic capacitors is only a few milli
Ohms, they are not suitable for use as output capacitors on
www.national.com
These parts are available in TO-220 and TO-263 packages.
The thermal resistance depends on amount of copper area
or heat sink, and on air flow. If the maximum allowable value
of θJA calculated above is ≥ 60 ˚C/W for TO-220 package
and ≥ 60 ˚C/W for TO-263 package no heatsink is needed
since the package can dissipate enough heat to satisfy these
requirements. If the value for allowable θJA falls below these
limits, a heat sink is required.

sizes, using a typical PCB with 1 ounce copper and no solder
mask over the copper area for heat sinking.
(Continued)
HEATSINKING TO-220 PACKAGE
The thermal resistance of a TO220 package can be reduced
by attaching it to a heat sink or a copper plane on a PC
board. If a copper plane is to be used, the values of θJA will
be same as shown in next section for TO263 package.
The heatsink to be used in the application should have a
heatsink to ambient thermal resistance,
θHA≤ θJA − θCH − θJC.
In this equation, θCH is the thermal resistance from the case
to the surface of the heat sink and θJC is the thermal resistance from the junction to the surface of the case. θJC is
about 3˚C/W for a TO220 package. The value for θCH depends on method of attachment, insulator, etc. θCH varies
between 1.5˚C/W to 2.5˚C/W. If the exact value is unknown,
2˚C/W can be assumed.
20069625
HEATSINKING TO-263 PACKAGE
The TO-263 package uses the copper plane on the PCB as
a heatsink. The tab of these packages are soldered to the
copper plane for heat sinking. The graph below shows a
curve for the θJA of TO-263 package for different copper area

As shown in the graph below, increasing the copper area
beyond 1 square inch produces very little improvement. The
minimum value for θJA for the TO-263 package mounted to a
PCB is 32˚C/W.
Figure 2 shows the maximum allowable power dissipation
for TO-263 packages for different ambient temperatures,
assuming θJA is 35˚C/W and the maximum junction temperature is 125˚C.
