GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The LP2950 and LP2951 are micropower voltage regulators ideally suited for use in battery-powered systems. These devices
feature very low quiescent current (typ.75µA), and very low dropout voltage (typ.45mV at light loads and 380mV at 100mA)
thus prolonging battery life. The quiescent current increases only slightly in dropout. The LP2950/LP2951 has positive
transient protection up to 60V and can survive unregulated input transient up to 20V below ground.
The LP2950 and LP2951 were designed to include a tight initial tolerance (typ. 0.5%), excellent load and line regulation (typ.
0.05%), and a very low output voltage temperature coefficient, making these devices useful as a low-power voltage reference.
The LP2950 is offered in the 3-pin TO-92 package. LP2951 is available in 8-pin plastic SOIC and DIP packages and offers
three major additional system features. An error flag output warns of a low output voltage, often due to failing batteries on
input. The LP2951 also features the logic-compatible shutdown input which enables the regulator to be switched on and off.
The LP2951 device may be pin-strapped for a 5V, 3.3V, or 3V output, or programmed from 1.24V to 29V with an external
pair of resistors.

Note 1: Absolute Maximum Ratings are limits beyond which damage to the device may occur. Operating Ratings are conditions under which operation of the
device is guaranteed. Operating Ratings do not imply guaranteed performance limits. For guaranteed performance limits and associated test conditions, see the
Electrical Characteristics tables.
Note 2: Unless otherwise specified all limits guaranteed for VIN = ( VONOM +1)V, IL = 100 µA and CL = 1 µF for 5V versions and 2.2µF for 3V and 3.3V versions.
Limits appearing in boldface type apply over the entire junction temperature range for operation. Limits appearing in normal type apply for TA = TJ = 25°C
Additional conditions for the 8-pin versions are FEEDBACK tied to VTAP, OUTPUT tied to SENSE and VSHUTDOWN ≤ 0.8V.
Note 3: Guaranteed and 100% production tested.
Note 4: Guaranteed but not 100% production tested. These limits are not used to calculate outgoing AQL levels.
Note 5: Dropout voltage is defined as the input to output differential at which the output voltage drops 100 mV below its nominal value measured at 1V differential.
At very low values of programmed output voltage, the minimum input supply voltage of 2V ( 2.3V over temperature) must be taken into account.
Note 6: Comparator thresholds are expressed in terms of a voltage differential at the feedback terminal below the nominal reference voltage measured at
VIN = ( VONOM +1)V. To express these thresholds in terms of output voltage change, multiply by the error amplifier gain = Vout/Vref = (R1 + R2)/R2. For example,
at a programmed output voltage of 5V, the error output is guaranteed to go low when the output drops by 95 mV x 5V/1.235 = 384 mV. Thresholds remain constant
as a percent of Vout as Vout is varied, with the dropout warning occurring at typically 5% below nominal, 7.5% guaranteed.
Note 7: Vref ≤Vout ≤ (Vin - 1V), 2.3 ≤Vin≤30V, 100µA≤IL≤ 100 mA, TJ ≤ TJMAX.
Note 8: The junction-to-ambient thermal resistance are as follows:180°C/W and 160°C/W for the TO-92 (N) package with 0.40 inch and 0.25 inch leads to the
printed circuit board (PCB) respectively, 105°C/W for the molded plastic DIP (P) and 160°C/W for the molded plastic SO-8 (S). The above thermal resistances for
the N, S and P packages apply when the package is soldered directly to the PCB.
Note 9: May exceed input supply voltage.
Note 10: When used in dual-supply systems where the output terminal sees loads returned to a negative supply, the output voltage should be diode-clamped to
ground.
Note 11: Vshutdown ≥ 2V, Vin ≤ 30V, Vout =0, Feedback pin tied to 5VTAP.
Note 12: Output or reference voltage temperature coefficients defined as the worst case voltage change divided by the total temperature range.

LP2950/LP2951
Note 13: Thermal regulation is defined as the change in output voltage at a time T after a change in power dissipation is applied, excluding load or line regulation
effects. Specifications are for a 50mA load pulse at VIN =30V (1.25W pulse) for T =10 ms.
Note 14: Regulation is measured at constant junction temperature, using pulse testing with a low duty cycle. Changes in output voltage due to heating effects are
covered under the specification for thermal regulation.
Note 15: Line regulation for the LP2951 is tested at 150°C for IL = 1 mA. For IL = 100 µA and TJ = 125°C, line regulation is guaranteed by design to 0.2%. See
typical performance characteristics for line regulation versus temperature and load current.
Note 16: All LP2950 devices have the nominal output voltage coded as the last two digits of the part number. In the LP2951 products, the 3.0V and 3.3V versions
are designated by the last two digits, but the 5V version is denoted with no code of the part number.

APPLICATION HINTS
External Capacitors
A 1.0 µF or greater capacitor is required between output and
ground for stability at output voltages of 5V or more. At lower
output voltages, more capacitance is required (2.2µ or more is
recommended for 3V and 3.3V versions). Without this capacitor
the part will oscillate. Most types of tantalum or aluminum
electrolytic works fine here; even film types work but are not
recommended for reasons of cost. Many aluminum types have
electrolytes that freeze at about -30°C, so solid tantalums are
recommended for operation below -25°C. The important
parameters of the capacitor are an ESR of about 5 Ω or less and
resonant frequency above 500 kHz parameters in the value of the
capacitor. The value of this capacitor may be increased without
limit.
At lower values of output current, less output capacitance is
required for stability. The capacitor can be reduced to 0.33 µF for
currents below 10 mA or 0.1 µF for currents below 1 mA. Using
the adjustable versions at voltages below 5V runs the error
amplifier at lower gains so that more output capacitance is
needed. For the worst-case situation of a 100mA load at 1.23V
output (Output shorted to Feedback) a 3.3µF (or greater)
capacitor should be used.
Unlike many other regulators, the LP2950, will remain stable and
in regulation with no load in addition to the internal voltage
divider. This is especially important in CMOS RAM keep-alive
applications. When setting the output voltage of the LP2951
version with external resistors, a minimum load of 1µA is
recommended.
A 1µF tantalum or aluminum electrolytic capacitor should be
placed from the LP2950/LP2951 input to the ground if there is
more than 10 inches of wire between the input and the AC filter
capacitor or if a battery is used as the input.
Stray capacitance to the LP2951 Feedback terminal can cause
instability. This may especially be a problem when using a
higher value of external resistors to set the output voltage. Adding
a 100 pF capacitor between Output and Feedback and increasing
the output capacitor to at least 3.3 µF will fix this problem.
Error Detection Comparator Output
The comparator produces a logic low output whenever the
LP2951 output falls out of regulation by more than approximately
5%. This figure is the comparator’s built-in offset of about 60 mV
divided by the 1.235 reference voltage. (Refer to the block
diagram in the front of the datasheet.) This trip level remains
“5% below normal” regardless of the programmed output voltage
of the 2951. For example, the error flag trip level is typically
4.75V for a 5V output or 11.4V for a 12V output. The out of
regulation condition may be due either to low input voltage,
current limiting, or thermal limiting.
Figure 1 gives a timing diagram depicting the ERROR signal and
the regulator output voltage as the LP2951 input is ramped up
and down. For 5V versions the ERROR signal becomes valid
(low) at about 1.3V input. It goes high at about 5V input (the
input voltage at which Vout = 4.75 ).
Advanced Monolithic Systems, Inc.
Since the LP2951’s dropout voltage is load dependent (see curve
in typical performance characteristics), the input voltage trip
point (about 5V) will vary with the load current. The output
voltage trip point (approx. 4.75V) does not vary with load.
The error comparator has an open-collector output which requires
an external pullup resistor. This resistor may be returned to the
output or some other supply voltage depending on system
requirements. In determining a value for this resistor, note that
the output is rated to sink 400µA, this sink current adds to
battery drain in a low battery condition. Suggested values range
from 100K to 1MΩ. The resistor is not required if this output is
unused.
Programming the Output Voltage (LP2951)
The LP2951 may be pin-strapped for the nominal fixed output
voltage using its internal voltage divider by tying the output and
sense pins together, and also tying the feedback and VTAP pins
together. Alternatively, it may be programmed for any output
voltage between its 1.235V reference and its 30V maximum
rating. As seen in Figure 2, an external pair of resistors is
required.
The complete equation for the output voltage is:
Vout = VREF × (1 + R1/ R2)+ IFBR1
where VREF is the nominal 1.235 reference voltage and IFB is the
feedback pin bias current, nominally -20 nA. The minimum
recommended load current of 1 µA forces an upper limit of 1.2
MΩ on value of R2, if the regulator must work with no load (a
condition often found in CMOS in standby) IFB will produce a 2%
typical error in VOUT which may be eliminated at room
temperature by trimming R1. For better accuracy, choosing R2 =
100k reduces this error to 0.17% while increasing the resistor
program current by 12 µA. Since the LP2951 typically draws 60
µA at no load with Pin 2 open-circuited, this is a small price to
pay.
Reducing Output Noise
In reference applications it may be an advantageous to reduce the
AC noise present at the output. One method is to reduce the
regulator bandwidth by increasing the size of the output
capacitor. This is the only way that noise can be reduced on the 3
lead LP2950 but is relatively inefficient, as increasing the
capacitor from 1 µF to 220 µF only decreases the noise from 430
µV to 160 µV rms for a 100 kHz bandwidth at 5V output.
Noise could also be reduced fourfold by a bypass capacitor across
R1, since it reduces the high frequency gain from 4 to unity. Pick
CBYPASS ≅ 1 / 2πR1 × 200 Hz
or about 0.01 µF. When doing this, the output capacitor must be
increased to 3.3 µF to maintain stability. These changes reduce
the output noise from 430 µV to 100 µV rms for a 100 kHz
bandwidth at 5V output. With the bypass capacitor added, noise
no longer scales with output voltage so that improvements are
more dramatic at higher output voltages.

*When VIN 1.3V the error flag pin becomes a high impedance,
and the error flag voltage rises to its pull-up voltage. Using Vout
as the pull-up voltage (see Figure 2), rather than an external 5V
source, will keep the error flag voltage under 1.2V (typ.) in this
condition. The user may wish to drive down the error flag
voltage using equal value resistors (10 k suggested), to ensure
a low-level logic signal during any fault condition, while still
allowing a valid high logic level during normal operation.

Operation: Reg.#1’s VOUT is programmed one diode drop above 5V. It’s error flag
becomes active when VIN≤ 5.7V. When VIN drops below 5.3V, the error flag of
Reg.#2 becomes active and via Q1 latches the main output off. When VIN again
exceeds 5.7V Reg.#1 is back in regulation and the early warning signal rises,
unlatching Reg.#2 via D3.
