MOTOROLA MC78T12BT Three-ampere positive fixed voltage regulator Datasheet

Order this document by MC78T00/D
This family of fixed voltage regulators are monolithic integrated circuits
capable of driving loads in excess of 3.0 A. These three–terminal regulators
employ internal current limiting, thermal shutdown, and safe–area
compensation. Devices are available with improved specifications, including
a 2% output voltage tolerance, on AC–suffix 5.0, 12 and 15 V device types.
Although designed primarily as a fixed voltage regulator, these devices
can be used with external components to obtain adjustable voltages and
currents. This series of devices can be used with a series–pass transistor to
supply up to 15 A at the nominal output voltage.

A common ground is required between the input and the output voltages. The input voltage must
remain typically 2.2 V above the output voltage even during the low point on the input ripple voltage.
XX Indicates nominal voltage.
XX these two digits of the type number indicate voltage.
# Automotive temperature range selections are available with special test conditions and additional
tests. Contact your local Motorola sales office for
information.
** Cin is required if regulator is located an appreciable distance from power supply filter.
** (See Applications Information for details.)
** CO is not needed for stability; however, it does improve transient response.
* 2% regulators available in 5, 12 and 15 V devices.

VOLTAGE DEVIATION (V)
can be caused by a change in either the input voltage or the
load current. Thermal regulation is a function of IC layout and
die attach techniques, and usually occurs within 10 ms of a
change in power dissipation. After 10 ms, additional changes
in the output voltage are due to the temperature coefficient of
the device.
Figure 1 shows the line and thermal regulation response of
a typical MC78T05AC to a 20 W input pulse. The variation of
the output voltage due to line regulation is labeled ➀ and the
thermal regulation component is labeled ➁. Figure 2 shows
the load and thermal regulation response of a typical
MC78T05AC to a 20 W load pulse. The output voltage
variation due to load regulation is labeled ➀ and the thermal
regulation component is labeled ➁.

VOLTAGE (V)
The performance of a voltage regulator is specified by its
immunity to changes in load, input voltage, power dissipation,
and temperature. Line and load regulation are tested with a
pulse of short duration (< 100µs) and are strictly a function of
electrical gain. However, pulse widths of longer duration (>
1.0 ms) are sufficient to affect temperature gradients across
the die. These temperature gradients can cause a change in
the output voltage, in addition to changes caused by line and
load regulation. Longer pulse widths and thermal gradients
make it desirable to specify thermal regulation.
Thermal regulation is defined as the change in output
voltage caused by a change in dissipated power for a
specified time, and is expressed as a percentage output
voltage change per watt. The change in dissipated power

MC78T00 Series
APPLICATIONS INFORMATION
Design Considerations
The MC78T00 Series of fixed voltage regulators are
designed with Thermal Overload Protection that shuts down
the circuit when subjected to an excessive power overload
condition, Internal Short Circuit Protection that limits the
maximum current the circuit will pass, and Output Transistor
Safe–Area Compensation that reduces the output short
circuit current as the voltage across the pass transistor is
increased.
In many low current applications, compensation
capacitors are not required. However, it is recommended that
the regulator input be bypassed with a capacitor if the
regulator is connected to the power supply filter with long wire
lengths, or if the output load capacitance is large. An input
bypass capacitor should be selected to provide good high
frequency characteristics to insure stable operation under all
load conditions. A 0.33 µF or larger tantalum, mylar, or other
capacitor having low internal impedance at high frequencies
should be chosen. The bypass capacitor should be mounted
with the shortest possible leads directly across the regulator’s
input terminals. Normally good construction techniques
should be used to minimize ground loops and lead resistance
drops since the regulator has no external sense lead.

The MC78T05 regulator can also be used as a current source when
connected as above. In order to minimize dissipation the MC78T05 is
chosen in this application. Resistor R determines the current
as follows:
5.0 V
IO = R + IB
^
^
∆IB 0.7 mA over line, load and Temperature changes
IB 3.5 mA
For example, a 2.0 A current source would require R to be a 2.5 Ω,
10 W resistor and the output voltage compliance would be the input
voltage less 7.0 V.

The addition of an operational amplifier allows adjustment to higher or
intermediate values while retaining regulation characteristics. The
minimum voltage obtainable with this arrangement is 3.0 V greater
than the regulator voltage.

The MC78T00 series can be current boosted with a PNP transistor. The
2N4398 provides current to 15 A. Resistor R in conjuction with the VBE of
the PNP determines when the pass transistor begins conducting; this
circuit is not short circuit proof. Input–output differential voltage
minimum is increased by the VBE of the pass transistor.

XX = 2 digits of type number indicating voltage.
The circuit of Figure 17 can be modified to provide supply protection
against short circuits by adding a short circuit sense resistor, RSC, and
an additional PNP transistor. The current sensing PNP must be able to
handle the short circuit current of the three–terminal regulator.
Therefore, an eight–ampere power transistor is specified.
