CBYPASS may be used to reduce output noise. The capacitors must be correctly selected with respect to capacitance values for all three capacitors and ESR value for COUT. Input Capacitor An input capacitor with a minimum capacitance value of 1µF is required between the LP2967 input and ground (the amount of capacitance may be increased without limit). This capacitor must be located a distance of not more than 0.5 inches from the input pin and returned to a clean analog ground. Any good quality ceramic or tantalum may be used for this capacitor. 10114207 LP2967-2.5V Region Of Stability with 10 µF COUT Output Capacitor The output capacitor must meet the requirement for minimum capacitance value of 2.2 µF and also have an appropriate ESR (equivalent series resistance) value. The LP2967 is actually designed to work with ceramic or tantalum output capacitors, utilizing circuitry which allows the regulator to be stable with an output capacitor whose ESR is as low as 4 mΩ. It may also be possible to use a film capacitor at the output, but this type is not as attractive for reasons of size and cost. Important: The output capacitor must maintain its ESR in the stable region over the full operating temperature range of the application to assure stability. The minimum required amount of output capacitance is 2.2 µF. Output capacitor size can be increased without limit. It is important to remember that capacitor tolerance and variation with temperature must be taken into consideration when selecting an output capacitor so that the minimum required amount of output capacitance is provided over the full operating temperature range. 10114209 LP2967-2.5V Region Of Stability with 4.7 µF COUT LP2967-3.3V Region of Stability with 10 µF COUT 10114210 10114208 13 www.national.com LP2967 Application Hints LP2967 Application Hints ceramic capacitors is that their capacitance can vary with temperature. Most large value ceramic capacitors are manufactured with the Z5U or Y5V temperature characteristic, which results in the capacitance dropping by more than 50% as the temperature goes from 25˚C to 85˚C. This could cause problems if a 2.2 µF capacitor were used on the output since it will drop down to approximately 1 µF at high ambient temperatures. This could cause the LP2967 to oscillate. If Z5U or Y5V capacitors are used on the output, a minimum capacitance value of 4.7 µF must be used. (Continued) LP2967-2.5V Region Of Stability with 2.2 µF COUT A better choice for temperature coefficient in ceramic capacitors is X7R or X5R which hold the capacitance to within ± 15% over the full temperature range. Unfortunately, the larger values of capacitance are not offered by all manufacturers in the X7R dielectric. Tantalum For the LP2967, tantalum capacitors are less desirable than ceramic for use as output capacitors because they are typically more expensive when comparing equivalent capacitance and voltage ratings in the 2.2 µF to 4.7 µF range of capacitance. Tantalum capacitors have good temperature stability: a 4.7µF was tested and showed a 10% decline in capacitance as the temperature was decreased from +125˚C to −40˚C while the ESR increased by about 2:1 over the same range of temperatures. This increase in ESR at lower temperatures can cause oscillations when marginal quality capacitors are used and the upper limit for ESR value is exceeded. 10114265 No-Load Operation If a 2.2 µF output capacitor is used, the minimum stable ESR value rises to about 0.5 Ω at load currents below 1 mA. If the minimum output load is < 1 mA (with COUT = 2.2 µF), a Tantalum output capacitor should be used (the ESR of a ceramic will be too low). It should be noted that if a 4.7 µF (or larger) output capacitor is used, the part is fully stable with either Tantalum or ceramic from no load to full load output current. Aluminum The large physical size of aluminum electrolytic capacitors make them unattractive for use with the LP2967. Their ESR characteristics are also not well suited to the requirements of LDO regulators. The ESR of an aluminum electrolytic is higher than that of a tantalum, and it also varies greatly with temperature. A typical aluminum electrolytic can exhibit an ESR increase of 50X when going from 20˚C to −40˚C. Also, some aluminum electrolytic capacitors can not be used below −25˚C because the electrolyte will freeze. Bypass Capacitor Connecting a 10 nF capacitor to the Bypass pin significantly reduces noise on the regulator output. It should be noted that the capacitor is connected directly to a high impedance circuit in the bandgap reference. Because this circuit has only a few microamperes flowing into it, any significant loading on this node will cause a change in the regulated output voltage. For this reason, DC leakage current through the noise bypass capacitor must never exceed 100 nA, and should be kept as low as possible for best output voltage accuracy. The types of capacitors best suited for the noise bypass capacitor are ceramic and film capacitors. High quality ceramic capacitors with either NPO or COG dielectric typically have very low leakage. 10 nF polypropylene and polycarbonate film capacitors are available in small surface mount packages and typically have extremely low leakage current. SHUTDOWN OPERATION The two LDO regulators in the LP2967 have independent shutdown pins. A low logic level signal at either of the shutdown pins SD1 or SD2 will turn off the corresponding regulator output VOUT1 or VOUT2. Pins SD1 and SD2 must be terminated by tying them to VIN for a proper operation when the shutdown function is not required. CAPACITOR CHARACTERISTICS REVERSE CURRENT PATH The internal power transistor in the LP2967 has an inherent parasitic diode. During normal operation, the input voltage is higher than the output voltage and the parasitic diode is reverse biased. However, if the output is pulled above the input in an application, then current flows from the output to the input if the parasitic diode gets forward biased. The output can be pulled above the input as long as the current in the parasitic diode is limited to 150mA. Ceramic Ceramic capacitors have the lowest ESR values, which make them best for eliminating high frequency noise. The outputs of LP2967 require a minimum of 2.2 µF of capacitance. The ESR of a typical 2.2 µF ceramic capacitor is in the range of 4 mΩ to 20 mΩ, which easily meets the ESR limits required for stability by the LP2967. One disadvantage of www.national.com 14 ambient temperature coefficient (θJA) for an MSOP-8 package is 235˚C/W and the 8-bump micro SMD with minimum copper area is 220˚C/W. The total power dissipation of the device is given by: PD = (VIN − VOUT1) IOUT1 + (VIN − VOUT2) IOUT2 (Continued) MAXIMUM POWER DISSAIPATION CAPABILITY Each output pin the LP2967 can deliver a current of up to 150mA over the full operating junction temperature range. However, the maximum output current must be derated at higher ambient temperature to ensure the junction temperature does not exceed 125˚C. Under all possible conditions, the junction temperatures must be within the range specified under operating conditions. The LP2967 is available in MSOP-8 package and 8-bump micro SMD. The junction to The maximum power dissipation, PDmax, that the device can tolerate can be calculated by using the formula: PDmax = (TJMAX − TA) / θJA where TJMAX is the maximum specified junction temperature (125˚C), and TA is the maximum ambient temperature. 15 www.national.com LP2967 Application Hints LP2967 Physical Dimensions inches (millimeters) unless otherwise noted micro SMD Package NS Package Number TPA08F5A The dimensions of X1, X2, and X3 are given below: X1 = 1.412mm X2 = 1.946mm X3 = 0.500mm www.national.com 16 LP2967 Physical Dimensions inches (millimeters) unless otherwise noted (Continued) micro SMD Package NS Package Number BPA08F5B The dimensions of X1, X2, and X3 are given below: X1 = 1.412mm X2 = 1.946mm X3 = 0.850mm Mini SO-8 Package Type MM For Ordering, Refer to Ordering Information Table NS Package Number MUA08A 17 www.national.com LP2967 Dual Micropower 150 mA Low-Dropout Regulator in micro SMD Package Notes National does not assume any responsibility for use of any circuitry described, no circuit patent licenses are implied and National reserves the right at any time without notice to change said circuitry and specifications.
