Application Note 1850 ISL75052SEH High Performance 3A LDO Evaluation Board User Guide Description What’s Inside The ISL75052SEH is a high-performance, adjustable, low-voltage, high-current, low-dropout linear regulator specified at 1.5A rated output current for input voltages from 4.0V to 13.2V. The LDO outputs can be adjusted from 0.6V to 12.7V by means of two preset resistors. Salient features of the part include: The evaluation kit contains the following: • TID, ELDRS and SEE Rated • Very Fast Load Transient Response • ±2.0% Guaranteed VOUT Accuracy over Line, Load and Temperature • Typical Dropout of 225mV at 1.5A • ISL75052SEHEVAL1Z evaluation board • ISL75052SEH datasheet • AN1850 application note Test Steps 1. Select the desired output voltage by shorting one of the jumpers from J1 through J5. The option of JP6 provides for continuous adjustment of VOUT using potentiometer R6. 2. Set the OCP limit by using jumpers JP8 and JP9. JP9 = 0.275A min, and JP8 = 2.75A min. 3. Close JP7. Also closing jumper JP11 (2 and 3) selects R16 = 5.49k as pull-up for PGOOD. Close JP12 (1 and 2). • EN Feature • PG Feature 4. Connect the input supply to VIN/GND and the load to VOUT/GND. Select the VIN to VOUT ratio to keep dissipation within the thermal limits of the device. • OCP Feature • Short-circuit and Over-temperature Protection The ISL75052SEHEVAL1Z evaluation board provides a simple platform to evaluate performance of the ISL75052SEH. The device output voltage is adjustable, and jumpers are provided to easily set popular output voltages. 5. Use JP10 to enable/disable the IC; Open = Enable, and Close = Disable. (Note: For REVB boards, Close = Enable and Open = Disable.) FIGURE 1.

Application Note 1850 Optimizing LDO Performance Performance of the ISL75052SEH can be optimized by following the guidelines provided in this application note. Input and Output Capacitor Selection RH operation requires the use of a combination of tantalum and ceramic capacitors to achieve a good volume-to-capacitance ratio. The recommended combination is a 2x100µF, 60mΩ, 25V KEMET T541 series tantalum capacitor in parallel with a 0.1µF MIL-PRF-49470 CDR04 ceramic capacitor. This is to be connected between VIN to GND pins and VOUT to GND pins of the LDO, with PCB traces no longer than 0.5cm. The stability of the device depends on the capacitance and ESR of the output capacitor. The usable ESR range for the device is 6mΩ to 100mΩ. At the lower limit of ESR = 6mΩ, the phase margin is about 51°C. On the high side, an ESR of 100mΩ is found to limit the gain margin at around 10dB. The typical GM/PM seen on the ISL75052SEHEVAL1Z evaluation board for VIN = 3.3V, VOUT = 1.8V, and IOUT = 3A, with a 220µF, 10V, 25mΩ capacitor, is GM = 16.3dB and PM = 69.16°C. Output Voltage Adjustment The output voltage can be adjusted by means of the resistor divider shown in Figure 2 as RTOP and RBOTTOM.

Either option could be used depending on cost/performance requirements. Layout Guidelines Good PCB layout is important to achieving expected performance. When placing components and routing traces, minimize ground impedance and keep parasitic inductance low. Give the input and output capacitors a good ground connection, and place them as close to the IC as possible. Route the traces connecting the ADJ pin away from noisy planes and traces, and keep the board capacitance of the ADJ net to GND as low as possible. Thermal Guidelines PG EN TABLE 1. RECOMMENDED OUTPUT CAPACITOR VALUES RTOP COUT CIN OCP RBOTTOM FIGURE 2. ISL75052SEH TYPICAL APPLICATION The resistor values for typical output voltages are given in Table 1. The values listed provide for an Evaluation board output voltage that is about 50mV higher than the desired set point to allow for the drop on the line connecting the Evaluation board to the desired load. If the die temperature exceeds +175°C typical, then the LDO output shuts down to zero until the die temperature cools to +155°C typical. The level of power combined with the thermal impedance of the package (JC of 4°C/W for the 18 Ld CDFP package) determines whether the junction temperature exceeds the thermal shutdown temperature specified in the “Electrical Specifications” table of the ISL75052SEH datasheet. Mount the device on a high effective thermal conductivity PCB with thermal vias, per JESD51-7 and JESD51-5. Place a silpad between package base and PCB copper plane. Select the VIN and VOUT ratios to ensure that dissipation for the selected VIN range keeps TJ within the recommended operating level of 150°C for normal operation. The resistor divider values can be calculated using the equation: VOUT = (0.6X(1+RTOP/RBOTTOM) Assuming a value RTOP = 15.8k and knowing the required output voltage setting one can calculate the RBOTTOM.
