MIL-PRF-38534 AND 38535 CERTIFIED FACILITY RAD HARD POSITIVE, 0.7A, LDO, SINGLE RESISTOR ADJ VOLTAGE REGULATOR 5978RH FEATURES: Manufactured using Space Qualified RH3080 Die MIL-PRF-38535 Class V Processing & Screening Total Dose Hardened to 300 Krads(Si) (Method 1019.7 Condition A) Low Dropout to 250mV (VIN - VOUT, with Seperate CTL Supply) Output Adjustable to Zero Volts Internal Short Circuit Current Limit Output Voltage is Adjustable with 1 External Resistor Output Current Capability to 0.7A Internal Thermal Overload Protection Outputs may be Paralleled for Higher Current Available in Straight or Gull Wing Lead Form Contact MSK for MIL-PRF-38535 Qualification Status DESCRIPTION: The MSK5978RH offers low dropout down to 250mV and an output voltage range down to zero volts while offering radiation tolerance for space applications. This, combined with the low θJC, allows increased output current while providing exceptional device efficiency. Output voltage is selected by the user through the use of 1 external resistor. Additionally, the regulator offers internal short circuit current and thermal limiting, which allows circuit protection and eliminates the need for external components and excessive derating. Because of the increased efficiency, a small hermetic 10 pin ceramic flatpack can be used providing maximum performance while occupying minimal board space. The MSK5978RH is available in two lead options: straight or gull wing.

J 8/15 APPLICATION NOTES LOAD REGULATION OUTPUT VOLTAGE The MSK5978RH specified load regulation is Kelvin Sensed, therefore the parasitic resistance of the system must be considered to design an acceptable load regulation. The overall load regulation includes the specified MSK5978RH load regulation plus the parasitic resistance multiplied by the load current as shown in Figure 3. RSO is the series resistance of all conductors between the MSK5978RH output and the load. It will directly increase output load regulation error by a voltage drop of ∆IO x RSO. RSS is the series resistance between the SET pin and the load. RSS will have little effect on load regulation if the SET pin trace is connected as close to the load as possible keeping the load return current on a separate trace as shown. RSR is the series resistance of all of the conductors between the load and the input power source return. RSR will not effect load regulation if the SET pin is connected with a Kelvin Sense type connection as shown in Figure 3, but it will increase the effective dropout voltage by a factor of IO x RSR. Keeping RSO and RSR as low as possible will ensure minimal voltage drops and wasted power. A single resistor (RSET) from the SET pin to ground creates the reference voltage for the internal Error Amplifier. The MSK5978RH SET pin supplies a constant current of 10uA that develops the reference voltage. The output voltage is simply RSET x 10uA. Since the output is internally driven by a unity-gain amplifier, an alternative to using RSET is to connect a high quality reference source to the SET pin. With a minimum load requirement of 1mA on the Output, the Output Voltage can be adjusted to near 0V. To bring the output voltage to 0V, the load must be connected to a slightly negative voltage supply to sink the 1mA minimum load current from a 0V output. FIGURE 1 OUTPUT CAPACITANCE For stability purposes, the MSK5978RH requires a minimum output capacitor of 10µF with an ESR of 0.5Ω or less. Tantalum or ceramic capacitors are recommended. A larger capacitance value will improve transient response for increased load current changes. Consideration must also be given to temperature characteristics of the capacitors used. FIGURE 3 LOW DROPOUT OPERATION OUTPUT CURRENT/CURRENT LIMIT Using separate VIN and CTL power supplies allows for lower dropout and improved efficiency. Figure 2 shows the MSK5978RH output transistor collector is connected to the VIN pin. The regulator control circuitry is powered by the CTL input. The dropout of the regulator is determined by the saturation voltage of the output transistor, typical 250mV at 0.7A ILOAD. The CTL supply must supply the base drive current for the output transistor. The CTL current minus the 10µA SET current is supplied to the load. See the Typical Performance Characteristics curves for expected VIN dropout voltage, CTL pin dropout voltage and current requirements under various conditions. With separate supplies for VIN and CTL, power dissipation is reduced and efficiency improves. Available output current and current limit values have been derived from the MSK5978VRHG which assumes a lead length of approximately 0.1 inch. Increased lead length will decrease current limit due to lead resistance. This is especially important to note with use of the MSK5978VRH, which allows the potential for lead lengths to exceed 0.1 inch. As an approximation, every 50mil increase in lead length will decrease the current limit by 40mA. PARALLELING DEVICES When currents greater than 0.7A are needed, the MSK5978RH's may be paralleled to multiply the current capacity. As shown in Figure 4, the VIN and SET pins must be tied together. The VOUT pins are connected to the load with consideration to the conductor resistance. The conductor resistance of each MSK5978RH VOUT connection to the load, must be equal to create equal load sharing. As little as 10mΩ ballast resistance typically ensures better than 80% equal sharing of load current at full load. Additional consideration must be given to the effect the additional VOUT conductor resistance has on load regulation; see paragraph titled "Load Regulation". FIGURE 2 ADDITIONAL STABILITY A capacitor placed in parallel with the SET pin resistor to ground, will improve the output transient response and filter noise in the system. To reduce output noise, typically less than 100pF is all that will be required. Capacitors up to 1µF can be used, however consideration must be given to the effect the time constant created will have on the startup time. FIGURE 4 3 8548-13 Rev. J 8/15 APPLICATION NOTES CONT'D APPLICATION NOTES CONT'D HEAT SINKING IMPROVING INITIAL ACCURACY AND REDUCING TEMPERATURE DRIFT To determine if a heat sink is required for your application and if so, what type, refer to the thermal model and governing equation below. The initial output accuracy of the MSK5978RH due to SET pin current tolerance and set point resistor accuracy can be reduced to 0.2% using the MSK109RH radiation hardened precision reference. Minimal drift of the MSK109RH from temperature extremes and irradiation ensure very tight regulation. The circuit can be configured to use the 2.5V reference to directly set the output at 2.5V or with a slight variation it can provide any output within the operating range of the MSK5978RH down to 0V output. Select RS to maintain between 1mA and 10mA of current through the reference; see Figure 5 below. RS may be tied to VIN or another power source. The optional trim resistor can be used to further trim out initial output and system error. Reference the MSK109RH data sheet for application circuits that provide stable output voltages across the full operating range of the MSK5978RH including down to 0V output and the operating characteristics of the MSK109RH. Governing Equation: TJ = PD x (RθJC + RθCS + RθSA) + TA WHERE TJ = Junction Temperature PD = Total Power Dissipation RθJC = Junction to Case Thermal Resistance RθCS = Case to Heat Sink Thermal Resistance RθSA = Heat Sink to Ambient Thermal Resistance TC = Case Temperature TA = Ambient Temperature TS = Heat Sink Temperature EXAMPLE: This example demonstrates the thermal calculations for the regulator operating at 0.5A output current. Conditions for MSK5978RH: VCTL=VIN = +3.0V; IOUT = +0.50A VOUT=+1.0V 1.) Assume 45° heat spreading model. 2.) Find regulator power dissipation: PD= (VIN - VOUT)(IOUT) PD= (3-1)(0.50) = 1.0W 3.) For conservative design, set TJ = +125°C Max. 4.) For this example, worst case TA = +90°C. 5.) RθJC = 17.0°C/W from the Electrical Specification Table. 6.) RθCS= 0.15°C/W for most thermal greases. 7.) Rearrange governing equation to solve for RθSA: FIGURE 5 RθSA= ((TJ - TA/PD - (RθJC) - (RθCS) =(125°C - 90°C)/1.0W - 17.0°C/W - 0.15°C/W =17.9°C/W ADDING SHUTDOWN The MSK5978RH can be easily shutdown by either reducing RSET to 0Ω or connecting a transistor from the SET pin to ground. By connecting two transistors, as shown in Figure 6, a low current voltage source is all that is required to take the SET pin to ground as well as pull the output voltage to ground. Q2 pulls the output voltage to ground when no load is present and only needs to sink 10mA. Use a low leakage switching diode between Vout and Set to avoid overstress during shutdown transitions. In this case the result is 17.9°C/W. Therefore, a heat sink with a thermal resistance of no more than 17.9°C/W must be used in this application to maintain regulator circuit junction temperature under 125°C.
