NSC LM9071

LM9071
Low-Dropout System Voltage Regulator with Delayed
Reset
General Description
Features
The LM9071 is a 5V, 250 mA low-dropout voltage regulator.
The regulator features an active low delayed reset output
flag which can be used to reset a microprocessor system on
turn-ON and in the event that the regulator output falls out of
regulation for any reason. An external capacitor programs a
delay time interval before the reset output can return high.
Designed for automotive application the LM9071 contains a
variety of protection features such as reverse battery,
over-voltage shutdown, thermal shutdown, input transient
protection and a wide operating temperature range.
Design techniques have been employed to allow the regulator to remain operational and not generate false reset signals
when subjected to high levels of RF energy (300V/m from
2 MHz to 400 MHz).

Note 1: Absolute Maximum Ratings indicate 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 conditions, see the Electrical Characteristics.
Note 2: All pins will survive an ESD impulse of ± 2000V using the human body model of 100 pF discharged through a 1.5 kΩ resistor. In addition the input voltage
pin will withstand ten pulses of ± 12 kV from a 150 pF capacitor discharged through a 560Ω resistor when bypassed with a 22 nF, 100V capacitor.

covery from a fault condition the delay capacitor is used to
hold the micro in a reset condition for a programmable time
interval to allow the system operating voltages and clock to
stabilize before executing code. The delay time interval can
be estimated by the following equation:
The LM9071 voltage regulator has been optimized for use in
microprocessor based automotive systems. Several unique
design features have been incorporated to address many
FMEA (Failure Mode Effects Analysis) concerns for fail-safe
system performance.
FAULT TOLERANT FEATURES
While not specifically guaranteed due to production testing
limitations, the LM9071 has been tested and shown to continue to provide a regulated output and, not generate an erroneous system reset signal while subjected to high levels of
RF electric field energy (up to 300 V/m signal strength over
a 2 MHz to 400 MHz frequency range). This is very important
in vehicle safety related applications where the system must
continue to operate normally. To maintain this immunity to
RFI the output bypass capacitor is important (47 µF is recommended).
An output bypass capacitor of at least 10 µF is required for
stability (47 µF is recommended). The ESR of this capacitor
should be less than 3Ω. An input capacitor of 1 µF or larger
is recommended to improve line transient and noise performance.
Conventional load dump protection is built in to withstand up
to +60V and −50V transients. Protection against reverse polarity battery connections is also built in. With a reversed battery connection the output of the LM9071 will not go more
negative than one diode drop below ground. This will prevent
damage to any of the 5V load circuits.
INPUT STABILITY
Low dropout voltage regulators which utilize a PNP power
transistor usually exhibit a large increase in current when in
dropout (VIN < 5.5V). This increase is caused by the saturation characteristics (β reduction) of the PNP transistor. To
significantly minimize this increase in current the LM9071
detects when the PNP enters saturation and reduces the operating current.
This reduction in input current can create a stability problem
in applications with higher load current ( > 100 mA) where
the input voltage is applied through a long length of wire,
which in effect adds a significant amount of inductance in series with the input. The drop in input current may create a
positive input voltage transient which may take the PNP out
of saturation. If the input voltage is held constant at the
threshold where the PNP is going in and out of saturation, an
oscillation may be created.
This is only observed where a large series inductance is
present in the input supply line and when the rise and fall
time of the input supply is very slow. If the application and removal of the input voltage changes at a rate greater than
500 mV/µs it will move through the dropout region of the
regulator (VIN of 3V to 5.5V) too quickly for an oscillation to
be established.
RESET FLAG
Excessive loading of the output to the point where the output
voltage drops by 300 mV to 500 mV will signal a reset flag to
the micro. This will warn of a VCC supply that may produce
unpredictable operation of the system. On power-up and re-
