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.)

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.

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.

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.
