KEY FEATURES
DESCRIPTION
The LX8386/86A/86B series devices are
pin-compatible with earlier 3-terminal
regulators, such as the 117 series products.
While a 10µF output capacitor is required on
both input and output of these new devices,
this capacitor is generally included in most
regulator designs.
The LX8386/86A/86B series quiescent
current flows into the load, increasing
efficiency. This feature contrasts with PNP
regulators, where up to 10% of the output
current is wasted as quiescent current. The
LX8386-xxI is specified over the full
industrial temperature range of –25°C to
+125°C and the LX8386/86A/86B is
specified over the commercial range of 0°C
to 125°C.

The LX8386/86A/86B Series ICs are
positive regulators designed to provide 1.5A
output current. These regulators yield
higher efficiency than currently available
devices with all internal circuitry designed
to operate down to a 1V input-to-output
differential. In each of these products, the
dropout voltage is fully specified as a
function of load current. Dropout is
guaranteed at a maximum of 1.3V (8386A/
86B) and 1.5V (8386) at maximum output
current, decreasing at lower load currents.
On-chip trimming adjusts the reference
voltage to 1% (0.8% for the 8386B) initial
accuracy and 2% (1% for the 8386B) over
line, load, and temperature.

APPLICATION NOTES
STABILITY
The output capacitor is part of the regulator’s frequency
compensation system. Many types of capacitors are available,
with different capacitance value tolerances, capacitance
temperature coefficients, and equivalent series impedances. For
all operating conditions, connection of a 220µF aluminum
electrolytic capacitor or a 47µF (<400mΩ ESR) solid tantalum
capacitor between the output terminal and ground will guarantee
stable operation.
If a bypass capacitor is connected between the output voltage
adjust (ADJ) pin and ground, ripple rejection will be improved
(please see the section entitled “RIPPLE REJECTION”). When
ADJ pin bypassing is used, the required output capacitor value
increases. Output capacitor values of 220µF (aluminum) or 47µF
(tantalum) provide for all cases of bypassing the ADJ pin. If an
ADJ pin bypass capacitor is not used, smaller output capacitor
values are adequate. The table below shows recommended
minimum capacitance values for operation.

OVERLOAD RECOVERY
Like almost all IC power regulators, the LX8386/86A/86B
regulators are equipped with Safe Operating Area (SOA)
protection. The SOA circuit limits the regulator's maximum
output current to progressively lower values as the input-to-output
voltage difference increases. By limiting the maximum output
current, the SOA circuit keeps the amount of power that is
dissipated in the regulator itself within safe limits for all values of
input-to-output voltage within the operating range of the
regulator. The LX8386/86A/86B SOA protection system is
designed to be able to supply some output current for all values of
input-to-output voltage, up to the device breakdown voltage.
Under some conditions, a correctly operating SOA circuit may
prevent a power supply system from returning to regulated operation after removal of an intermittent short circuit at the output of
the regulator. This is a normal mode of operation, which can be
seen, in most similar products, including older devices such as
7800 series regulators. It is most likely to occur when the power
system input voltage is relatively high and the load impedance is
relatively low.
When the power system is started “cold”, both the input and
output voltages are very close to zero. The output voltage closely
follows the rising input voltage, and the input-to-output voltage
difference is small. The SOA circuit therefore permits the
regulator to supply large amounts of current as needed to develop
the designed voltage level at the regulator output.
Now consider the case where the regulator is supplying
regulated voltage to a resistive load under steady state conditions.
A moderate input-to-output voltage appears across the regulator
but the voltage difference is small enough that the SOA circuitry
allows sufficient current to flow through the regulator to develop
the designed output voltage across the load resistance. If the
output resistor is short-circuited to ground, the input-to-output
voltage difference across the regulator suddenly becomes larger
by the amount of voltage that had appeared across the load
resistor. The SOA circuit reads the increased input-to-output
voltage, and cuts back the amount of current that it will permit the
regulator to supply to its output terminal. When the short circuit
across the output resistor is removed, all the regulator output
current will again flow through the output resistor. The maximum
current that the regulator can supply to the resistor will be limited
by the SOA circuit, based on the large input-to-output

APPLICATIONS
To ensure good transient response from the power supply
system under rapidly changing current load conditions, designers
generally use several output capacitors connected in parallel.
Such an arrangement serves to minimize the effects of the
parasitic resistance (ESR) and inductance (ESL) that are present
in all capacitors. Cost-effective solutions that sufficiently limit
ESR and ESL effects generally result in total capacitance values
in the range of hundreds to thousands of microfarads, which is
more than adequate to meet regulator output capacitor
specifications. Output capacitance values may be increased
without limit.
The circuit shown in Figure 1 can be used to observe the
transient response characteristics of the regulator in a power
system under changing loads. The effects of different capacitor
types and values on transient response parameters, such as
overshoot and under-shoot, can be compared quickly in order to
develop an optimum solution.

The LX8386/86A/86B Series ICs are easy to use LowDropout (LDO) voltage regulators. They have all of the standard
self-protection features expected of a voltage regulator: short
circuit protection, safe operating area protection and automatic
thermal shutdown if the device temperature rises above
approximately 165°C.
Use of an output capacitor is REQUIRED with the
LX8386/86A/86B series. Please see the table below for
recommended minimum capacitor values.
These regulators offer a more tightly controlled reference
voltage tolerance and superior reference stability when measured
against the older pin-compatible regulator types that they replace.

RIPPLE REJECTION
Ripple rejection can be improved by connecting a capacitor
between the ADJ pin and ground. The value of the capacitor
should be chosen so that the impedance of the capacitor is equal
in magnitude to the resistance of R1 at the ripple frequency. The
capacitor value can be determined by using this equation:
C=
where:
1
(6.28 × FR × R1)
≡ the value of the capacitor in Farads; select
an equal or larger standard value.
FR ≡ the ripple frequency in Hz
R1 ≡ the value of resistor R1 in ohms
At a Ripple frequency of 120Hz, with R1= 100Ω:
C
C=
1
= 13.3μF
(6.28 × 120Hz ×100Ω )
The closest equal or larger standard value should be used, in
this case, 15µF. When an ADJ pin bypass capacitor is used,
output ripple amplitude will be essentially independent of the
output voltage. If an ADJ pin bypass capacitor is not used, output
ripple will be proportional to the ratio of the output voltage to the
reference voltage:
V
M = OUT
VREF
where:
≡ a multiplier for the ripple seen when the
ADJ pin is optimally bypassed.
VREF ≡ 1.25V

LOAD REGULATION
Because the LX8386/86A/86B regulators are three-terminal
devices, it is not possible to provide true remote load sensing.
Load regulation will be limited by the resistance of the wire
connecting the regulator to the load. The data sheet specification
for load regulation is measured at the bottom of the package.
Negative side sensing is a true Kelvin connection, with the
bottom of the output divider returned to the negative side of the
load. Although it may not be immediately obvious, best load
regulation is obtained when the top of the resistor divider, (R1), is
connected directly to the case of the regulator, not to the load.
This is illustrated in Figure 3. If R1 were connected to the load,
the effective resistance between the regulator and the load would
be:
⎛ R 2 + R1 ⎞
RPeff = RP × ⎜
⎟
⎝ R1 ⎠
where:
RP ≡ Actual parasitic line resistance.
When the circuit is connected as shown in Figure 3, the
parasitic resistance appears as its actual value, rather than the
higher RPeff.

OUTPUT VOLTAGE
The LX8386/86A/86B ICs develop a 1.25V reference voltage
between the output and the adjust terminal (See Figure 2). By
placing a resistor, R1, between these two terminals, a constant
current is caused to flow through R1 and down through R2 to set
the overall output voltage. Normally this current is the specified
minimum load current of 10mA. Because IADJ is very small and
constant when compared with the current through R1, it
represents a small error and can usually be ignored.

OVERLOAD RECOVERY (continued)
voltage across the regulator at the time the short circuit is
removed from the output. If this limited current is not sufficient
to develop the designed voltage across the output resistor, the
voltage will stabilize at some lower value, and will never reach
the designed value. Under these circumstances, it may be
necessary to cycle the input voltage down to zero in order to
make the regulator output voltage return to regulation.

APPLICATION NOTES (CONTINUED)
Even when the circuit is configured optimally, parasitic
resistance can be a significant source of error. A 20 mil. wide PC
trace built from 1 oz. copper-clad circuit board material has a
parasitic resistance of about 25 milliohms per inch of its length at
room temperature. If a 3-terminal regulator used to supply 2.50
volts is connected by 2 inches of this trace to a load which draws
1.5 amps of current, a 75 millivolt drop will appear between the
regulator and the load. Even when the regulator output voltage is
precisely 2.50 volts, the load will only see 2.43 volts, which is a
2% error. It is important to keep the connection between the
regulator output pin and the load as short as possible, and to use
wide traces or heavy-gauge wire.
The minimum specified output capacitance for the regulator
should be located near the regulator package. If several capacitors
are used in parallel to construct the power system output
capacitance, any capacitors beyond the minimum needed to meet
the specified requirements of the regulator should be located near
the sections of the load that require rapidly-changing amounts of
current. Placing capacitors near the sources of load transients will
help ensure that power system transient response is not impaired
by the effects of trace impedance.
To maintain good load regulation, wide traces should be used
on the input side of the regulator, especially between the input
capacitors and the regulator. Input capacitor ESR must be small
enough that the voltage at the input pin does not drop below
VIN(MIN) during transients.

125°C − 50°C
− (2.7°C/W + 1.0°C/W)
(5.0V − 2.5V) * 1.5A
R θSA = 16.3°C/W
Next, select a suitable heat sink. The selected heat sink must
have RθSA < 3.1°C/W. Thermalloy heatsink 6296B has RθSA =
3.0°C/W with 3000ft/min air flow.
Finally, verify that junction temperature remains within specification using the selected heat sink:
TJ = 3.75W(2.7°C/W + 1.0°C/W + 12.0°C/W) + 50°C
TJ = 109°C
** Although the device can operate up to 150°C junction, it is recommended for long term
reliability to keep the junction temperature below 125°C whenever possible.

APPLICATIONS
THERMAL CONSIDERATIONS
The LX8386/86A/86B regulators have internal power and
thermal limiting circuitry designed to protect each device under
overload conditions. For continuous normal load conditions,
however, maximum junction temperature ratings must not be
exceeded. It is important to give careful consideration to all
sources of thermal resistance from junction to ambient. This
includes junction to case, case to heat sink interface, and heat
sink thermal resistance itself.
Junction-to-case thermal resistance is specified from the IC
junction to the back surface of the case directly opposite the die.
This is the lowest resistance path for heat flow. Proper mounting
is required to ensure the best possible thermal flow from this area
of the package to the heat sink. Thermal compound at the case to
heat sink interface is strongly recommended. If the case of the
device must be electrically isolated, a thermally conductive
spacer can be used, as long as its added contribution to thermal
resistance is considered. Note that the case of all devices in this
series is electrically connected to the output.
