The LM39500 offers extremely low dropout (typically
400mV at 5A) and low ground current (typically 70mA
* X.X = Fixed Vout = 1.5V, 1.8V, 2.5V, 3.3V, 5.0V
at 5A).
The LM39500/1/2 is ideal for PC Add-In cards that need to convert from standard 5V or 3.3V, down to new, lower
core voltages. A guaranteed maximum dropout voltage of 500mV over all operating allows the LM39500/1/2 to
provide LM39500/1/2 to 2.5V from a supply as low as 3V. The LM39500 also has fast transient response, for heavy
switching applications.
The device requires only 47F of output capacitance to maintain stability and achieve fast transient response.
The LM39500/1/2 is fully protected with overcurrent limiting, thermal shutdown, reversed-battery and reversed-lead
in-sertion protection.
The LM39501 offers a TTL-logic-compat-ible enable pin and an error flag that indicates undervoltage and overcurrent
conditions.
The LM39500/1/2 comes in the TO-220 and TO-263 packages and is an ideal upgrade to older,NPN-based linear
voltage regulators.
The LM39502 is adjustable version.

LM39500/39501/39502
Application Information
The LM39500/1 is a high-performance low-dropout voltage regulator suitable for moderate to high-current voltage
regu-lator applications. Its 400mV dropout voltage at full load makes it especially valuable in battery-powered
systems and as a high-efficiency noise filter in post-regulator applications. Unlike older NPN-pass transistor
designs, where the mini-mum dropout voltage is limited by the base-to-emitter voltage drop and collector-toemitter saturation voltage, dropout per-formance of the PNP output of these devices is limited only by the low V CE
saturation voltage.A trade-off for the low dropout voltage is a varying base drive requirement.
The LM39500/1/2 regulator is fully protected from damage due to fault conditions. Current limiting is provided. This
limiting is linear output current during overload conditions is constant. Thermal shutdown disables the device when
the die temperature exceeds the maximum safe operating tem-perature. Transient protection allows device (and
load) sur-vival even when the input voltage spikes above and below nominal. The output structure of these regulators
allows voltages in excess of the desired output voltage to be applied without reverse current flow.
Thermal Design
Linear regulators are simple to use. The most complicated design parameters to consider are thermal
characteristics.Thermal design requires four application-specific param-eters:
•Maximum ambient temperature (T A)
•Output Current (I OUT)
•Output Voltage (V OUT)
•Input Voltage (V IN)
•Ground Current (I GND)
Calculate the power dissipation of the regulator from these numbers and the device parameters from this
datasheet,where the ground current is taken from the data sheet.
PD = (V IN – VOUT) IOUT + VIN·IGND
The heat sink thermal resistance is determined by:
θSA=(TJMAX-TA)/PD -(θJC+θCS)
where TJ (max) 125 ℃ and θCS is between 0℃ and 2℃/W.
The heat sink may be significantly reduced in applications where the minimum input voltage is known and is large
compared with the dropout voltage. Use a series input resistor to drop excessive voltage and distribute the heat
between this resistor and the regulator. The low dropout properties of Taejin regulators allow signifi-cant reductions
in regulator power dissipation and the asso-ciated heat sink without compromising performance. When this
technique is employed, a capacitor of at least 1.0F is needed directly between the input and regulator ground.Refer
to Application Note 9 for further details and examples on thermal design and heat sink specification.
Output Capacitor
The LM39500/1/2 requires an output capacitor to maintain stability and improve transient response. Proper capacitor
selection is important to ensure proper operation. The LM39500/1/2 output capacitor selection is dependent upon
the ESR (equivalent series resistance) of the output capacitor to maintain stability. When the output capacitor is 47F
or greater, the output capacitor should have less than 1 of ESR. This will improve transient response as well as
promote stability. Ultralow ESR capacitors, such as ceramic chip capacitors may promote instability. These very low
ESR levels may cause an oscillation and/or underdamped tran-sient response. A low-ESR solid tantalum capacitor
works extremely well and provides good transient response and stability over temperature. Aluminum electrolytics can
also be used, as long as the ESR of the capacitor is < 1.The value of the output capacitor can be increased without
limit. Higher capacitance values help to improve transient response and ripple rejection and reduce output noise.
Input Capacitor
An input capacitor of 1uF or greater is recommended when the device is more than 4 inches away from the bulk ac
supply capacitance, or when the supply is a battery. Small, surface-mount, ceramic chip capacitors can be used for
the bypass-ing. Larger values will help to improve ripple rejection by bypassing the input to the regulator, further
improving the integrity of the output voltage.Transient Response and 3.3V.

Minimum Load Current
The LM39500/1/2 regulator is specified between finite loads.
If the output current is too small, leakage currents dominate and the output voltage rises.
A 10mA minimum load current is necessary for proper regulation.
Transient Response and 3.3V to 2.5V Conversion
The LM39500/1/2 has excellent transient response to varia-tions in input voltage and load current. The device has
been designed to respond quickly to load current variations and input voltage variations. Large output capacitors are
not required to obtain this performance. A standard 47F output capacitor, preferably tantalum, is all that is required.
Larger values help to improve performance even further.
By virtue of its low-dropout voltage, this device does not saturate into dropout as readily as similar NPN-based designs. When converting from 3.3V to 2.5V, the NPN-based regulators are already operating in dropout, with typical
dropout requirements of 1.2V or greater. To convert down to 2.5V without operating in dropout, NPN-based regulators
require an input voltage of 3.7V at the very least. The LM39500/1/2 regulator will provide excellent performance with
an input as low as 3.0V. This gives the PNP-based regulators a distinct advantage over older, NPN-based linear
regulators does not have the headroom to dothis conversion.
Error Flag
The LM39501 version features an error flag circuit which monitors the output voltage and signals an error condition
when the voltage drops 5% below the nominal output voltage. The error flag is an open-collector output that can sink
10mA during a fault condition.
Low output voltage can be caused by a number of problems, including an overcurrent fault (device in current limit) or
low input voltage. The flag is inoperative during overtemperature shutdown.
Enable Input
The LM39501 version features an enable input for on/off control of the device. Its shutdown state draws “zero” current
(only microamperes of leakage). The enable input is TTL/ CMOS compatible for simple logic interface, but can be
connected to up to 20V.
Adjustable Regulator Design
The LM39502 allows programming the output voltage any-where between 1.25V and the 16V maximum operating
rating of the family. Two resistors are used. Resistors can be quite large, up to 1MΩ, because of the very high input
impedance and low bias current of the sense comparator: The resistor values are calculated by: R1=R2(Vout/1.250-1)
Where VO is the desired output voltage. Figure 1 shows component definition. Applications with widely varying load
currents may scale the resistors to draw the minimum load current required for proper operation.
