description
The TL783 is an adjustable three-terminal
high-voltage regulator with an output range of
1.25 V to 125 V and a DMOS output transistor
capable of sourcing more than 700 mA. It is
designed for use in high-voltage applications where standard bipolar regulators cannot be used. Excellent
performance specifications, superior to those of most bipolar regulators, are achieved through circuit design
and advanced layout techniques.
As a state-of-the-art regulator, the TL783 combines standard bipolar circuitry with high-voltage double-diffused
MOS transistors on one chip to yield a device capable of withstanding voltages far higher than standard bipolar
integrated circuits. Because of its lack of secondary-breakdown and thermal-runaway characteristics usually
associated with bipolar outputs, the TL783 maintains full overload protection while operating at up to 125 V from
input to output. Other features of the device include current limiting, safe-operating-area (SOA) protection, and
thermal shutdown. Even if ADJ is inadvertently disconnected, the protection circuitry remains functional.
Only two external resistors are required to program the output voltage. An input bypass capacitor is necessary
only when the regulator is situated far from the input filter. An output capacitor, although not required, improves
transient response and protection from instantaneous output short circuits. Excellent ripple rejection can be
achieved without a bypass capacitor at the adjustment terminal.
The TL783C is characterized for operation over the virtual junction temperature range of 0°C to 125°C.

† Stresses beyond those listed under “absolute maximum ratings” may cause permanent damage to the device. These are stress ratings only, and
functional operation of the device at these or any other conditions beyond those indicated under “recommended operating conditions” is not
implied. Exposure to absolute-maximum-rated conditions for extended periods may affect device reliability.
NOTES: 1. Maximum power dissipation is a function of TJ(max), θJA, and TA. The maximum allowable power dissipation at any allowable
ambient temperature is PD = (TJ(max) – TA)/θJA. Operating at the absolute maximum TJ of 150°C can impact reliability. Due to
variations in individual device electrical characteristics and thermal resistance, the built-in thermal overload protection may be
activated at power levels slightly above or below the rated dissipation.
2. The package thermal impedance is calculated in accordance with JESD 51.

DESIGN CONSIDERATIONS
The internal reference (see functional block diagram) generates 1.25 V nominal (Vref) between OUT and ADJ. This
voltage is developed across R1 and causes a constant current to flow through R1 and the programming resistor R2,
giving an output voltage of:
VO = Vref (1 + R2/R1) + lI(ADJ) (R2)
or
VO ≈ Vref (1 + R2/R1)
The TL783 was designed to minimize the input current at ADJ and maintain consistency over line and load variations,
thereby minimizing the associated (R2) error term.
To maintain II(ADJ) at a low level, all quiescent operating current is returned to the output terminal. This quiescent
current must be sunk by the external load and is the minimum load current necessary to prevent the output from rising.
The recommended R1 value of 82 Ω provides a minimum load current of 15 mA. Larger values can be used when
the input-to-output differential voltage is less than 125 V (see the output-current curve in Figure 14) or when the load
sinks some portion of the minimum current.

DESIGN CONSIDERATIONS
bypass capacitors
The TL783 regulator is stable without bypass capacitors; however, any regulator becomes unstable with certain
values of output capacitance if an input capacitor is not used. Therefore, the use of input bypassing is
recommended whenever the regulator is located more than four inches from the power-supply filter capacitor.
A 1-µF tantalum or aluminum electrolytic capacitor usually is sufficient.
Adjustment-terminal capacitors are not recommended for use on the TL783 because they can seriously
degrade load transient response as well as create a need for extra protection circuitry. Excellent ripple rejection
presently is achieved without this added capacitor.
Due to the relatively low gain of the MOS output stage, output voltage dropout may occur under large load
transient conditions. The addition of an output bypass capacitor greatly enhances load transient response and
prevents dropout. For most applications, it is recommended that an output bypass capacitor be used, with a
minimum value of:
Co (µF) = 15/VO
Larger values provide proportionally better transient-response characteristics.
protection circuitry
The TL783 regulator includes built-in protection circuits capable of guarding the device against most overload
conditions encountered in normal operation. These protective features are current limiting, safe-operating-area
protection, and thermal shutdown. These circuits protect the device under occasional fault conditions only.
Continuous operation in the current limit or thermal shutdown mode is not recommended.
The internal protection circuits of the TL783 protect the device up to maximum-rated VI as long as certain
precautions are taken. If Vl is instantaneously switched on, transients exceeding maximum input ratings may
occur, which can destroy the regulator. These are usually caused by lead inductance and bypass capacitors
causing a ringing voltage on the input. In addition, when rise times in excess of 10 V/ns are applied to the input,
a parasitic npn transistor in parallel with the DMOS output can be turned on, causing the device to fail. If the
device is operated over 50 V and the input is switched on rather than ramped on, a low-Q capacitor, such as
tantalum or aluminum electrolytic should be used rather than ceramic, paper, or plastic bypass capacitors. A
Q factor of 0.015 or greater usually provides adequate damping to suppress ringing. Normally, no problems
occur if the input voltage is allowed to ramp upward through the action of an ac line rectifier and filter network.
Similarly, when an instantaneous short circuit is applied to the output, both ringing and excessive fall times can
result. A tantalum or aluminum electrolytic bypass capacitor is recommended to eliminate this problem.
However, if a large output capacitor is used and the input is shorted, addition of a protection diode may be
necessary to prevent capacitor discharge through the regulator. The amount of discharge current delivered is
dependent on output voltage, size of capacitor, and fall time of Vl. A protective diode (see Figure 17) is required
only for capacitance values greater than:
Co (µF) = 3 x 104/(VO)2
Care always should be taken to prevent insertion of regulators into a socket with power on. Power should be
turned off before removing or inserting regulators.

load regulation
The current-set resistor (R1) should be located close to the regulator output terminal rather than near the load.
This eliminates long line drops from being amplified, through the action of R1 and R2, to degrade load regulation.
To provide remote ground sensing, R2 should be near the load ground.
