FUNCTIONAL DESCRIPTION
The L4938N is based on the STMicroelectronics
modular voltage regulator approach. Several outstanding features and auxiliary functions are provided to meet the requirements of supplying the microprocessor systems used in automotive applications.
Furthermore the device is suitable also in other applications requiring two stabilized voltages.
The modular approach allows other features and
functions to be realized easily when required.
STANDBY REGULATOR
The standby regulator uses an Isolated Collector
Vertical PNP transistor as the regulating element.
This structure allows a very low dropout voltage at
currents up to 50mA. The dropout operation of the
standby regulator is maintained down to 2V input
supply voltage. The output voltage is regulated up
to the transientinput supplyvoltageof 40V.This feature avoids functional interruptions which could be
generated by overvoltage pulses.
The typical curve of the standby output voltage as a
functionof theinput supply voltage is shown in fig. 1.
The current consumption of the device (quiescent
current) is less than 250µA when output 2 is disabled (standby mode). The dropout voltage is controlled to reduce the quiescent current peak in the
undervoltage region and to improve the transient
response in this region.
The quiescentcurrent isshown in fig. 2 as a function
of the supply input voltage 2.
OUTPUT 2 VOLTAGE
The output 2 regulator uses the same output structure as the standbyregulator, but rated for anoutput
current of 500mA.
The output 2 regulatorworks in tracking mode with
the standby output voltage as a reference voltage
when the output 2 programming pin ADJ is connected to VO2. By connecting a resistor divider R1,
R2 to the pin ADJ as shown in fig. 3, the output voltage 2 can be programmed to the value :
VO2 = VO1 (1 + R1/R2)
The output 2 regulator can be switched off via the
Enable input.
If a fixed 5 regulation is required ADJ Pin has to be
connectedto V02 Pin.

RESET CIRCUIT
Theblockcircuit diagramof theresetcircuit isshown
in fig.4. The resetcircuit supervisesthe standbyoutput voltage. The reset threshold of 4.7V is defined
by the internal reference voltage and the standby
output divider.
The reset pulse delay time tRD, is defined by the
charge time of an external capacitor CT :
CT x 2V
tRD =
2µA
Thereaction time of the reset circuit dependson the
discharge time limitation of the reset capacitor CT
and is proportional to the value of CT.
The reaction time of the reset circuit increases the
noise immunity. In fact,if the standbyoutputvoltage
drops below the reset threshold for a time shorter
than the reaction time tRR, no reset output variation
occurs. The nominal reset delay is generated for
standby output voltage drops longer than the time
necessary for the complete discharging of the capacitor CT. This time is typically equal to 50µs if
CT = 100nF.The typical reset outputwaveformsare
shown in fig. 5.
SENSE COMPARATOR
This circuit comparesan input signal withan internal
voltage reference of typically 1.23V. The use of an
externalvoltage divider makes the comparatorvery
flexible in the application. This function can be used
to supervisethe input voltage - eitherbefore or after
the protectiondiode - and togive additionalinformationtothe microprocessorsuch aslow voltagewarnings.
If this feature is not used SI and SO have to connected to GND. In this case the St-by quiescent current (14V) increases from 290µA to 300µA.
