DESCRIPTION
The L4947/L4947R is a monolithic integrated circuit in Pentawatt package specially designed to
provide a stabilized supply voltage for automotive
and industrial electronic systems. Thanks to its
very low voltage drop, in automotive applications
the L4947/L4947R can work correctly even during
the cranking phase, when the battery voltage

could fall as low as 6V. Furthermore, it incorporates a complete range of protection circuits
against the dangerous overvoltages always present on the battery rail of the car. The reset function makes the device particularly suited to supply
microprocessor based systems : a signal is available (after an externally programmable delay) to
reset the microprocessor at power-on phase ; at
power-off, this signal becomes low inhibiting the
microprocessor.

FUNCTIONAL DESCRIPTION
The L4947/L4947R is a very low drop 5V/0.5A
voltage regulator provided with a reset function
and therefore particularly suited to meet the requirements of supplying the microprocessor systems used in automotive and industrial applications.
The block diagram shows the basic structure of
the device : the reference, the error amplifier, the
driver, the power PNP, the protection and reset
functions.
The power stage is a Lateral PNP transistor
which allows a very low dropout voltage (typ.
400mV at TJ = 25°C, max. 750mV over the full
temperature range @ IO = 500mA). The typical
curve of the dropout voltage as a function of the
junction temperature is shown in Fig. 1 : that is
the worst case, where IO = 500mA.

L4947 - L4947R
The current consumption of the device (quiescent
current) is maximum 13mA - over full T - when no
load current is required.
The internal antisaturation circuit allows a drastic
reduction in the current peak which takes place
during the start up.
The reset function supervises the regulator output
voltage inhibiting the microprocessor when the
device is out of regulation and resetting it at the
power-on after a settable delay. The reset is LOW
when the output voltage value is lower than the
reset threshold voltage. At the power-on phase
the output voltage increases (see Fig. 2) and when it reaches the power-on VO threshold VRT
(On) - the reset output becomes HIGH after a delay time set by the external capacitor C d. At the
power-off the output voltage decreases : at the
VRT(Off) threshold value (VO-0.15V typ. for L4947
and VO-0.3V typ. for L4947R value) the reset outFigure 1: Typical Dropout Voltage vs. Tj

put instantaneously goes down (LOW status) inhibiting the microprocessor. The typical power onoff hysteresis is 50mV.
The three gain stages (operational amplifier,
driver and power PNP) require the external capacitor (Comin = 20µF) to guarantee the global
stability of the system.
Load dump and field decay protections (± 80V),
reverse voltage (– 18V) and short circuit protection, thermal shutdown are the main features that
make the L4947/L4947Rspecially suitable for applications in the automotive enviroment.
EXTERNAL COMPENSATION
Since the purpose of a voltage regulator is to supply and load variations, the open loop gain of the
regulator must be very high at low frequencies.
This may cause instability as a result of the various poles present in the loop. To avoid this instability dominant pole compensation is used to reduce phase shift due to other poles at the unity
gain frequency. The lower the frequency of these
others poles at the unity gain frequency. The
lower the frequency of these other poles, the
greater must be capacitor esed to create the
dominant pole for the same DC gain.
Where the output transistor is a lateral PNP type
there is a pole in the regulation loop at a frequencybtoo low to be compensated by a capacitor which can be integrated. An external compensation is therefore necessary so a very high value
capacitor must be connected from the output to
ground.
The paeassitic equivalent series resistance of the
capacitor used adds a zero to the regulation loop.
This zero may compromise the stability of the
system since its effect tends to cancel the effect
of the pole added. In regulators this ESR must be
less than 3Ω and the minimum capacitor value is
47µF.
