case supplies require a low input-output
differential to maintain regulation. This
feature makes it ideal for computer
monitors that have to comply with
energy-efficient / "Green PC" programs,
where the input voltage drops to only a
few tenths of a volt above the output
when power supply enters sleep-mode
operation.

ELECTRICAL CHARACTERISTICS
Unless otherwise specified, the following specifications apply over the operating ambient temperature -40°C to +125°C for the LX8940IP
and 0°C to +125°C for LX8940CP; VIN = 10V, IO = 1A, COUT = 22µF, and for DC characteristics only. Low duty cycle pulse testing
techniques are used which maintains junction and case temperatures equal to the ambient temperature.)
Note 3: These parameters, although guaranteed, are not tested in production.

APPLICATION NOTE
EXTERNAL CAPACITORS
To stabilize the outputs and prevent oscillation (perhaps
by many volts) external capacitors are required. The
minimum recommended value for the output capacitors is
10μF, although the actual size and type will likely vary
according to the particular application, e.g., operating
temperature range and load. Another consideration is the
effective series resistance (ESR) of the
capacitor. Capacitor ESR will vary by manufacturer.
Consequently, some evaluation may be required to
determine the minimum value of the output capacitors.
Generally worst case occurs at the maximum load and
minimum ambient temperature. The size of the output
capacitor can be increased to any value above the
minimum. One possible advantage of this would be to
maintain the output voltage during brief periods of
negative input transients The output capacitors chosen
should be rated for the full range of ambient temperature
over which the circuit will be exposed and expected to
operate. For example, many aluminum type electrolytic
capacitors change values at cold temperatures. The
effective capacitance is reduced and regulator stability is
affected. Tantalum capacitors are a good choice for these
types of environments.
WWW . Microsemi .C OM
The advantages of using a low-dropout regulator such as
the LX8940 is the need for less “headroom” for full
regulation, and the inherent reverse polarity protection
provided by the PNP output device. A typical NPN
regulator design requires an input to output differential of
approximately two volts minimum. This is due to the 2Vbe
+ Vcesat of the NPN Darlington used in the output, coupled
with the voltage drop across the current limit resistor. In
contrast, the “PNP Regulator” uses a single series pass
transistor with its single Vcesat, thus the lower input to
output voltage differential or dropout voltage. In some
applications the regulator output voltage is used not only as
a power supply but also as a voltage reference for control
systems. In such cases not just the temperature stability of
the output is important but also the initial accuracy.
LX8940 fills this need as the internal bandgap reference is
trimmed allowing a typical output voltage tolerance of
±1%.
OUTPUT PROTECTION
The output features fault protection against over voltage as
well as a thermal shutdown feature. If the input voltage
rises above 33V (load dump), the output shuts down
automatically. The internal circuitry is thus protected and
the IC is able to survive higher voltage transients than
might otherwise be expected. The thermal shutdown output
effectively guards against overheating of the die and
protects the device from being damaged.
