LM3460-1.2, -1.5
Precision Controller for GTLp and GTL Bus Termination
General Description
Features
The LM3460 is a monolithic integrated circuit designed for
precision control of GTLplus and GTL Bus termination. This
controller is available in a tiny SOT23-5 package, and includes an internally compensated op amp, a bandgap reference, an NPN output transistor, and voltage setting resistors.
A trimmed precision bandgap voltage reference utilizes temperature drift curvature correction for excellent voltage stability over the operating range. The precision output control enables the termination voltage to maintain tight regulation,
despite fast switching requirements on the bus.
The LM3460 controller is designed to be used with a high
current ( > 7A) NPN pass transistor to provide the high current needed for the bus termination. The wide bandwidth of
the feedback loop provides excellent transient response,
and greatly reduces the output capacitance required, thus
reducing cost and board space requirements.

Absolute Maximum Ratings (Note 1)
LM3460
Electrical Characteristics
LM3460-1.2 (Continued)
Note 1: Absolute Maximum Ratings are limits beyond which damage to the device may occur. Operating Ratings indicate conditions for which the device is intended
to be functional, but do not guarantee specific performance limits. For guaranteed specifications and test conditions, see the Electrical Characteristics. The guaranteed specifications apply only for the test conditions listed. Some performance characteristics may degrade when the device is not operated under the listed test conditions.
Note 2: The maximum power dissipation must be derated at elevated temperatures and is dictated by TJmax (maximum junction temperature), θJA (junction ot ambient thermal resistance), and TA (ambient temperature). The maximum allowable power dissipation at any temperature is (PDmax = (TJmax − TA)/θJA) or the number
given in the Absolute Maximum Ratings, whichever is lower. The typical thermal resistance θJA when soldered to a printed circuit board is approximately 330˚ C/W.
Note 3: The human body model is a 100 pF capacitor discharged through a 1.5 kΩ resistor into each pin.
Note 4: Typical numbers are at 25˚C and represent the most likely parametric norm.
Note 5: Limits are 100% production tested at 25˚C. Limits over the operating temperature range are guaranteed through correlation using Statistical Quality Control
(SQC) methods. The limits are used to calculate National’s Average Outgoing Quality Level (AOQL).
Note 6: VSAT = VREG − VOUT, when the voltage at the IN pin is forced 100mV above the nominal regulating voltage (VREG).

LM3460
Product Description
The LM3460 is a shunt regulator designed for use as a precision control element in a feedback loop. The regulated output voltage is sensed between the IN pin and GROUND pin
of the LM3460.
Applying a load pulse to the output of the regulator circuit
and observing the output voltage response is a good method
of verifying the stability of the control loop.
If excessive ringing on the output waveform is observed, this
usually indicates marginal stability resulting from insufficient
phase margin.
The output of the LM3460 sources current whenever the
voltage at the IN pin reaches the regulated voltage.
This current is used to cut off the drive to the external pass
trnasistor, which provides the negative feedback to force the
output voltage to be the same value as VREG.
If the voltage on the IN pin is forced above the VREG voltage,
the maximum voltage applied to the IN pin should not exceed 20V. In addition, an external resistor may be required
on the OUT pin to limit the maximum current to 20 mA.
Test Circuit
The test circuit shown in Figure 3 can be used to measure
various LM3460 parameters. Test conditions are set by forcing the appropriate voltage at the VOUT Set test point and selecting the appropriate RL or IOUT as specified in the Electrical Characteristics section. Use a DVM at the ″measure″ test
points to read the data.
Compensation
The inverting input of the error amplifier is brought out to simplify closed-loop compensation. Typically, compensation is
provided by a single capacitor connected from the COMPENSATION pin to the OUT pin of the LM3460.

PERFORMANCE DATA
(Continued)
All data taken at 20˚C ambient:
LOAD/LINE REGULATION: The output voltage changed
< 0.1 mV as the load was increased from 0-7A, and the input
voltage was varied from 3.0V-3.6V.
DROPOUT VOLTAGE: The dropout voltage (which is defined as the minimum input-output voltage differential required to maintain a regulated output) was measured at 7A
and found to be 1.4V. This means that a minimum input voltage of 2.9V is required to keep the 1.5V output in regulation.
TRANSIENT RESPONSE: Transient response was tested
using a 0.2Ω power resistor connected to the output using a
mechanical contact to provide a 0-7A load current step.
When the load was applied, the change in output voltage
was seen to be < 5 mV with a total recovery time of about 30
µs (see Figure 5).
DS012603-10
FOR BEST RESULTS: SELECT RA < 500Ω
FIGURE 4. Setting the Output Voltage
The simplest way to calculate the resistor values is to assume a value for RA and then solve the equation shown for
RB.
To assure best output voltage accuracy, the value selected
for RA should be < 500Ω, and 1% tolerance resistors should
be used.
As the ohmic value of RA is increased, the internal resistive
divider inside the LM3460 will cause the output voltage to
deviate from the value predicted by the formula shown.
DS012603-11
FIGURE 5. Output Transient Response
HEATSINKING/COMPONENT SELECTION
HEATSINKING: As with any linear regulator, the power dissipated in the pass transistor (Q4) is approximately:
P = (VIN− VOUT) X ILOAD
App Circuit Technical Information
Figure 1 and Figure 2 highlight two applications of the
LM3460. This section provides details of circuit function.
Q4 must be provided with adequate heatsinking so that the
junction temperature never exceeds 150˚C.
1.5V/7A TYPICAL APPLICATION
Figure 6 shows the maximum allowable values of thermal
resistance (from heatsink-to-ambient) that must be provided
for various values of the load current.
Figure 1 shows the schematic of a wide-bandwidth linear
regulator which provides a regulated 1.5V output at up to 7A
of load current from a 3V-3.6V input.
The pass element of the regulator (which supplies the load
current) is made up of a three-transistor complimentary Darlington composed of Q2, Q3, and Q4. The bias current flowing through R1 will drive the pass element ON, until such
time as Q1 pulls down and takes the drive away from the
base of Q2.
The circuit regulates the output to 1.5V using the LM3460
precision controller, which sources current from its output
whenever the voltage at the IN pin reaches 1.5V.
When the LM3460 sources current from its output, it turns on
Q1 (stealing the base drive for Q2) which reduces the current from the 1.5V regulated output. In this way, a negative
feedback loop is established which locks the output at 1.5V.
C1 and C2 are used for compensation, and should be ceramic capacitors.
C4 is required for regulator stability, and both C3 and C4 affect transient response. Circuit performance should be carefully evaluated if substitutions are made for these two components.

Detailed information will be presented in the areas which differ between the two circuits.
(Continued)
HEATSINKING
A given thermal resistance can be obtained by using different combinations of heatsink and airflow (refer to heatsink
manufacturers datasheets).
The design tradeoff here is that heatsinks which are smaller,
lighter, and cheaper require more airflow to get the desired
value of thermal resistance.
TRANSIENT RESPONSE: If the regulator is to respond
quickly to changes in load current demand, the input and
output capacitors must be selected carefully.
The output capacitor C4 is most critical, as it must supply
current to the load in the time it takes the regulator loop to
sense the output voltage change and turn on the pass transistor. A Sanyo Oscon type (or equivalent) will give the best
performance here.
The input capacitor C3 is also important, as it provides an
energy reservoir from which the regulator sources current to
force the output back up to the nominal value. A good, low
ESR electrolytic such as a Panasonic HFQ type is a good
choice for C3.
LAYOUT TIPS: In order to optimize performance, parasitic
inductance due to connecting traces must be minimized. All
paths shown as heavy lines on the schematic must be made
by traces which are wide and short as possible (component
placement should be optimized for minimum lead length).
POWER TRANSISTOR AND DRIVER: The power transistor
used at Q4 must have very good current gain at 7A, and
wide bandwidth (high fT) for this circuit to work as specified.
The D44H8 is an excellent choice for cost and performance.
The current gain of Q4 dictates the power dissipation in its
driver (Q3) which must supply the base current to Q4. If the
gain of Q4 is lowered, Q3 must source more current into its
base (and the power dissipation in Q3 goes up proportionately).
The D44H8 has a guaranteed minimum gain of 40 @ 4A, with
typical gain much higher. Assuming the gain of Q4 is about
30% lower at 7A, it will still be > 28. Therefore, to support 7A
of load current, Q3 must supply 250 mA to the base of Q4
(worst case).
The power dissipation in Q3 (assuming 3.3V input) will never
exceed approximately 250 mW, which is easily handled by
2N3906 in a TO-92 case (which has a thermal resistance of
about 180˚C/W), but could be a problem for a very small surface mount device.
If substitutions are made for Q3 or Q4, careful attention must
be paid to the current gain as well as the fT.
TRANSISTOR BANDWIDTH: Fast transient response that
the regulator be able to respond quickly to any change in
output voltage (which will occur if the current drawn by the
load suddenly changes).
All of the transistors specified in the schematic are very
wide-band devices (have high fT values) which is necessary
for fast response. If substitutions are made for any of the
transistors, this specification must be considered.
The 1.2V design needs a little more heatsinking because the
lower output voltage means more power dissipation in Q4 at
any value of load current.
Figure 7 shows the maximum allowable values of thermal
resistance (from heatsink-to-ambient) that must be provided
for various values of the load current.
DS012603-13
FIGURE 7. Q4 Heatsink Requirements for Circuit
shown in Figure 2
Q1 DRIVE CIRCUITRY
In the circuit shown in Figure 1, the output of U1 drives the
base of Q1 with current when the voltage at VOUT reaches
the regulation point. As Q1 turns ON, it steals drive from Q2
which holds the loop in regulation.
The circuit of Figure 2 uses a different drive configuration for
Q1, required because of the lower voltage across U1.
With only 1.2V across U1, the OUT pin of the LM3460 cannot swing up high enough in voltage to turn on the VBE of Q1.
In the circuit of Figure 2, drive for Q1 is provided by R7, but
only when U1 sources current: The operation of the drive
scheme is as follows:
If the voltage at VOUT is below 1.2V, no current flows from
the OUT pin of U1. Q1 is held OFF as the current flowing
down through R7 goes through D1 and R5 to ground.
IMPORTANT: Diode D1 is a 1N4001 because its VF must be
much less than the VBE of Q1 (a signal diode like 1N4148 will
not work here).
When U1 is not sourcing current, the voltage at the OUT pin
(and the cathode of D1) will be held at about 50 mV by the
R7/D1/R5 divider. The current flowing to ground through
these components is about 110 µA.
Because D1 is a 1A power diode, the VF across D1 at this
small value of current will be much less than the VBE needed
to turn ON Q1 (so Q1 is held off by D1).
When U1 begins to source current (to cut off the pass transistor and regulate VOUT) it forces the voltage at the cathode
of D1 to rise.
This action causes the current that was flowing through D1
to flow into the base of Q1, turning it ON and taking drive
away from the base of Q2.
This action provides the negative feedback required to regulate VOUT and allows the LM3460 to operate with only 1.2V
of total supply voltage across the device.
1.2V/7A TYPICAL APPLICATION
The 1.2V @ 7A design in Figure 2 is very similar in function
to the design shown in Figure 1. Most of the circuit descriptions previously detailed for that circuit apply unchanged to
Figure 2, will not be repeated.
