FEATURES
DESCRIPTION
•
•
The LP38855 is a high-current, fast-response
regulator which can maintain output voltage
regulation with an extremely low input to output
voltage drop. Fabricated on a CMOS process, the
device operates from two input voltages: VBIAS
provides power for the internal bias and control
circuits, as well as drive for the gate of the N-MOS
power transistor, while VIN 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 architecture 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.

APPLICATION INFORMATION
EXTERNAL CAPACITORS
To assure regulator stability, capacitors are required on the input, output and bias pins as shown in the Typical
Application Circuit.
Output Capacitor
A minimum output capacitance of 10 µF, ceramic, is required for stability. The amount of output 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 the device ground pin with a clean analog ground.
Only high quality ceramic types such as X5R or X7R should be used, as the Z5U and Y5F types do not provide
sufficient capacitance over temperature.
Tantalum capacitors will also provide stable operation across the entire operating temperature range. However,
the effects of ESR may provide variations in the output voltage during fast load transients. Using the minimum
recommended 10 µF ceramic capacitor at the output will allow unlimited capacitance, Tantalum and/or
Aluminum, to be added in parallel.
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. A ceramic capacitor, X5R or X7R, is recommended.
Tantalum capacitors may also be used at the input pin. There is no specific ESR limitation on the input capacitor
(the lower, the better).
Aluminum electrolytic capacitors can be used, but are not recommended as their ESR increases very quickly at
cold temperatures. They are not recommended for any application where the ambient temperature falls below
0°C.

Bias Capacitor
The capacitor on the bias pin must be at least 1 µF. It can be any good quality capacitor (ceramic is
recommended).
INPUT VOLTAGE
The input voltage (VIN) is the high current external voltage rail that will be regulated down to a lower voltage,
which is applied to the load. The input voltage must be at least VOUT + VDO, and no higher than whatever value is
used for VBIAS.
BIAS VOLTAGE
The bias voltage (VBIAS) is a low current external voltage rail required to bias the control circuitry and provide
gate drive for the N-FET pass transistor. The bias voltage must be in the range of 3.0V to 5.5V to ensure proper
operation of the device.
UNDER VOLTAGE LOCKOUT
The bias voltage is monitored by a circuit which prevents the device from functioning when the bias voltage is
below the Under-Voltage Lock-Out (UVLO) threshold of approximately 2.45V.
As the bias voltage rises above the UVLO threshold the device control circuitry become active. There is
approximately 150 mV of hysteresis built into the UVLO threshold to provide noise immunity.
When the bias voltage is between the UVLO threshold and the Minimum Operating Rating value of 3.0V the
device will be functional, but the operating parameters will not be within the specified limits.
SUPPLY SEQUENCING
There is no requirement for the order that VIN or VBIAS are applied or removed. However, the output voltage
cannot be ensured until both VIN and VBIAS are within the range of specified operating values.
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. A Schottky diode is recommend for this diode clamp.
REVERSE VOLTAGE
A reverse voltage condition will exist when the voltage at the output pin is higher than the voltage at the input pin.
Typically this will happen when VIN is abruptly taken low and COUT continues to hold a sufficient charge such that
the input to output voltage becomes reversed.
The NMOS pass element, by design, contains no body diode. This means that, as long as the gate of the pass
element is not driven, there will not be any reverse current flow through the pass element during a reverse
voltage event. The gate of the pass element is not driven when VBIAS is below the UVLO threshold, or the EN pin
is held low.
When VBIAS is above the UVLO threshold, and the EN pin is above the VEN(ON) threshold, the control circuitry is
active and will attempt to regulate the output voltage. Since the input voltage is less than the output voltage the
control circuit will drive the gate of the pass element to the full VBIAS potential when the output voltage begins to
fall. In this condition, reverse current will flow from the output pin to the input pin, limited only by the RDS(ON) of
the pass element and the output to input voltage differential. Discharging an output capacitor up to 1000 μF in
this manner will not damage the device as the current will decay rapidly. However, continuous reverse current
should be avoided.

SNVS461D – OCTOBER 2006 – REVISED APRIL 2013
ENABLE OPERATION
The Enable pin (EN) provides a mechanism to enable, or disable, the regulator output stage. The Enable pin has
an internal pull-up, through a typical 180 kΩ resistor, to VBIAS.
If the Enable pin is actively driven, pulling the Enable pin above the VEN threshold of 1.25V (typical) will turn the
regulator output on, while pulling the Enable pin below the VEN threshold will turn the regulator output off. There
is approximately 100 mV of hysteresis built into the Enable threshold provide noise immunity.
If the Enable function is not needed this pin should be left open, or connected directly to VBIAS. If the Enable pin
is left open, stray capacitance on this pin must be minimized, otherwise the output turn-on will be delayed while
the stray capacitance is charged through the internal resistance (rEN).
POWER DISSIPATION AND HEAT-SINKING
A heat-sink 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 the sum of three different points of dissipation in the device.
The first part is the power that is dissipated in the NMOS pass element, and can be determined with the formula:
PD(PASS) = (VIN - VOUT) × IOUT
(1)
The second part is the power that is dissipated in the bias and control circuitry, and can be determined with the
formula:
PD(BIAS) = VBIAS × IGND(BIAS)
where
•
IGND(BIAS) is the portion of the operating ground current of the device that is related to VBIAS
(2)
The third part is the power that is dissipated in portions of the output stage circuitry, and can be determined with
the formula:
PD(IN) = VIN × IGND(IN)
where
•
IGND(IN) is the portion of the operating ground current of the device that is related to VIN
(3)
The total power dissipation is then:
PD = PD(PASS) + PD(BIAS) + PD(IN)
(4)
The maximum allowable junction temperature rise (ΔTJ) depends on the maximum anticipated ambient
temperature (TA(MAX)) for the application, and the maximum allowable operating junction temperature (TJ(MAX)):
'TJ = TJ(MAX) - TA(MAX)
(5)
The maximum allowable value for junction to ambient Thermal Resistance, θJA, can be calculated using the
formula:
'TJ
TJA d
PD

Heat-Sinking the TO-220 Package
The TO-220 package has a θJA rating of 60°C/W, and a θJC rating of 3°C/W. These ratings are for the package
only, no additional heat-sinking, and with no airflow.
The thermal resistance of a TO-220 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
DDPAK/TO-263 package.

The heat-sink to be used in the application should have a heat-sink to ambient thermal resistance, θHA:
THA d TJA - (TCH + TJC)
where
•
•
•
θJA is the required total thermal resistance from the junction to the ambient air
θCH is the thermal resistance from the case to the surface of the heat sink
θJC is the thermal resistance from the junction to the surface of the case
(7)
For this equation, θJC is about 3°C/W for a TO-220 package. The value for θCH depends on method of
attachment, insulator, etc. θCH varies between 1.5°C/W to 2.5°C/W. Consult the heat-sink manufacturer
datasheet for details and recommendations.
Heat-Sinking the DDPAK/TO-263 Package
The DDPAK/TO-263 package has a θJA rating of 60°C/W, and a θJC rating of 3°C/W. These ratings are for the
package only, no additional heat-sinking, and with no airflow.
The DDPAK/TO-263 package uses the copper plane on the PCB as a heat-sink. The tab of this package is
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 sizes, using a typical PCB with 1 ounce copper and no solder mask over the copper area
for heat-sinking.
Figure 27. θJA vs Copper (1 Ounce) Area for the DDPAK/TO-263 package
As shown in Figure 27, increasing the copper area beyond 1 square inch produces very little improvement. The
minimum value for θJA for the DDPAK/TO-263 package mounted to a PCB is 32°C/W.
Figure 28 shows the maximum allowable power dissipation for DDPAK/TO-263 packages for different ambient
temperatures, assuming θJA is 35°C/W and the maximum junction temperature is 125°C.

The marketing status values are defined as follows:
ACTIVE: Product device recommended for new designs.
LIFEBUY: TI has announced that the device will be discontinued, and a lifetime-buy period is in effect.
NRND: Not recommended for new designs. Device is in production to support existing customers, but TI does not recommend using this part in a new design.
PREVIEW: Device has been announced but is not in production. Samples may or may not be available.
OBSOLETE: TI has discontinued the production of the device.
(2)
Eco Plan - The planned eco-friendly classification: Pb-Free (RoHS), Pb-Free (RoHS Exempt), or Green (RoHS & no Sb/Br) - please check http://www.ti.com/productcontent for the latest availability
information and additional product content details.
TBD: The Pb-Free/Green conversion plan has not been defined.
Pb-Free (RoHS): TI's terms "Lead-Free" or "Pb-Free" mean semiconductor products that are compatible with the current RoHS requirements for all 6 substances, including the requirement that
lead not exceed 0.1% by weight in homogeneous materials. Where designed to be soldered at high temperatures, TI Pb-Free products are suitable for use in specified lead-free processes.
Pb-Free (RoHS Exempt): This component has a RoHS exemption for either 1) lead-based flip-chip solder bumps used between the die and package, or 2) lead-based die adhesive used between
the die and leadframe. The component is otherwise considered Pb-Free (RoHS compatible) as defined above.
Green (RoHS & no Sb/Br): TI defines "Green" to mean Pb-Free (RoHS compatible), and free of Bromine (Br) and Antimony (Sb) based flame retardants (Br or Sb do not exceed 0.1% by weight
in homogeneous material)
(3)
MSL, Peak Temp. - The Moisture Sensitivity Level rating according to the JEDEC industry standard classifications, and peak solder temperature.
(4)
There may be additional marking, which relates to the logo, the lot trace code information, or the environmental category on the device.
(5)
Multiple Device Markings will be inside parentheses. Only one Device Marking contained in parentheses and separated by a "~" will appear on a device. If a line is indented then it is a continuation
of the previous line and the two combined represent the entire Device Marking for that device.

IMPORTANT NOTICE
Texas Instruments Incorporated and its subsidiaries (TI) reserve the right to make corrections, enhancements, improvements and other
changes to its semiconductor products and services per JESD46, latest issue, and to discontinue any product or service per JESD48, latest
issue. Buyers should obtain the latest relevant information before placing orders and should verify that such information is current and
complete. All semiconductor products (also referred to herein as “components”) are sold subject to TI’s terms and conditions of sale
supplied at the time of order acknowledgment.
TI warrants performance of its components to the specifications applicable at the time of sale, in accordance with the warranty in TI’s terms
and conditions of sale of semiconductor products. Testing and other quality control techniques are used to the extent TI deems necessary
to support this warranty. Except where mandated by applicable law, testing of all parameters of each component is not necessarily
performed.
TI assumes no liability for applications assistance or the design of Buyers’ products. Buyers are responsible for their products and
applications using TI components. To minimize the risks associated with Buyers’ products and applications, Buyers should provide
adequate design and operating safeguards.
TI does not warrant or represent that any license, either express or implied, is granted under any patent right, copyright, mask work right, or
other intellectual property right relating to any combination, machine, or process in which TI components or services are used. Information
published by TI regarding third-party products or services does not constitute a license to use such products or services or a warranty or
endorsement thereof. Use of such information may require a license from a third party under the patents or other intellectual property of the
third party, or a license from TI under the patents or other intellectual property of TI.
Reproduction of significant portions of TI information in TI data books or data sheets is permissible only if reproduction is without alteration
and is accompanied by all associated warranties, conditions, limitations, and notices. TI is not responsible or liable for such altered
documentation. Information of third parties may be subject to additional restrictions.
Resale of TI components or services with statements different from or beyond the parameters stated by TI for that component or service
voids all express and any implied warranties for the associated TI component or service and is an unfair and deceptive business practice.
TI is not responsible or liable for any such statements.
Buyer acknowledges and agrees that it is solely responsible for compliance with all legal, regulatory and safety-related requirements
concerning its products, and any use of TI components in its applications, notwithstanding any applications-related information or support
that may be provided by TI. Buyer represents and agrees that it has all the necessary expertise to create and implement safeguards which
anticipate dangerous consequences of failures, monitor failures and their consequences, lessen the likelihood of failures that might cause
harm and take appropriate remedial actions. Buyer will fully indemnify TI and its representatives against any damages arising out of the use
of any TI components in safety-critical applications.
In some cases, TI components may be promoted specifically to facilitate safety-related applications. With such components, TI’s goal is to
help enable customers to design and create their own end-product solutions that meet applicable functional safety standards and
requirements. Nonetheless, such components are subject to these terms.
No TI components are authorized for use in FDA Class III (or similar life-critical medical equipment) unless authorized officers of the parties
have executed a special agreement specifically governing such use.
Only those TI components which TI has specifically designated as military grade or “enhanced plastic” are designed and intended for use in
military/aerospace applications or environments. Buyer acknowledges and agrees that any military or aerospace use of TI components
which have not been so designated is solely at the Buyer's risk, and that Buyer is solely responsible for compliance with all legal and
regulatory requirements in connection with such use.
TI has specifically designated certain components as meeting ISO/TS16949 requirements, mainly for automotive use. In any case of use of
non-designated products, TI will not be responsible for any failure to meet ISO/TS16949.
