Detailed Description output transistor, as a result the output voltage decreases until the feedback v41oltage is equal to 1.25V. Similarly, when the feedback voltage is less than 1.25V, the error amplifier causes the output PMOS to conductor more current to pull the feedback voltage up to 1.25V. Thus, through this feedback action, the error amplifier, output PMOS, and the voltage divider effectively form a unity-gain amplifier with the feedback voltage force to be the same as the 1.25V bandgap reference. The output voltage, VOUT, is then given by the following equation: VOUT = 1.25 (1 + R1/R2). (1) The block diagram of the G920 is shown in Figure 1. It consists of an error amplifier, 1.25V bandgap reference, PMOS output transistor, internal feedback voltage divider, shutdown logic, over current protection circuit, and over temperature protection circuit. The internal feedback voltage divider’s central tap is connected to the non-inverting input of the error amplifier. The error amplifier compares non-inverting input with the 1.25V bandgap reference. If the feedback voltage is higher than 1.25V, the error amplifier’s output becomes higher so that the PMOS output transistor has a smaller gate-to-source voltage (VGS). This reduces the current carrying capability of the PMOS For the G920, the pre-set output voltage is 3.3V. IN EN － ERROR AMP SHUTDOWN LOGIC ＋ OVER CURRENT PROTECT & DYNAMIC FEEDBACK OUT R1 OVER TEMP.

Over Current Protection The G920 use a current mirror to monitor the output current. A small portion of the PMOS output transistor’s current is mirrored onto a resistor such that the voltage across this resistor is proportional to the output current. This voltage is compared against the 1.25V reference. Once the output current exceeds the limit, the PMOS output transistor is turned off. Once the output transistor is turned off, the current monitoring voltage decreases to zero, and the output PMOS is turned on again. If the over current condition persist, the over current protection circuit will be triggered again. Thus, when the output is shorted to ground, the output current will be alternating between 0 and the over current limit. The typical over current limit of the G920 is set to 250mA. Note that the input bypass capacitor of 1µF must be used in this case to filter out the input voltage spike caused by the surge current due to the inductive effect of the package pin and the printed circuit board’s routing wire. Otherwise, the actual voltage at the IN pin may exceed the absolute maximum rating. consumption to only the leakage current. The output is disconnected from the input. When the output has no load at all, the output voltage will be discharged to ground through the internal resistor voltage divider. Operating Region and Power Dissipation Since the G920 is a linear regulator, its power dissipation is always given by P = IOUT (VIN – VOUT). The maximum power dissipation is given by: PMAX = (TJ – TA)/θJA, Where (TJ – TA) is the temperature difference the G920 die and the ambient air, θJA, is the thermal resistance of the chosen package to the ambient air. In the case of a SOT23-5 package, the thermal resistance is typically 140oC/Watt. Applications Information Capacitor Selection and Regulator Stability Normally, use a 1µF capacitor on the input and a 1µF capacitor on the output of the G920. Larger input capacitor values and lower ESR provide better supply-noise rejection and transient response. A higher-value input capacitor (10µF) may be necessary if large, fast transients are anticipated and the device is located several inches from the power source. For stable operation over the full temperature range, with load currents up to 120mA, a minimum of 1µF is recommended. Dynamic Current Feedback The G920 is designed to work with both low and high ESR output capacitors. Since a PMOS transistor is used as the output transistor, an output capacitor greater than 1 µF is needed to stabilize the feedback loop of the regulator. Due to the large value of the output capacitor, the dominant pole is the pole caused by the output node. The pole cause by the error amplifier’s output node is the second pole. With a high ESR output capacitor, the zero caused by the ESR is typically near the second pole so that the second pole is cancelled by the zero, and the loop is stable. However, when the output capacitor has a low ESR, the zero will be much larger than the second pole. When the zero is near or larger than the unity-gain frequency, it can no longer cancel the phase shift caused by the second pole, and the loop becomes unstable. The G920 uses dynamic current feedback to stabilize the loop. The output impedence of the error amplifier is reduced when the output current increases. Thus, the second pole is pushed outward in accordance with the output current so that the second pole can be cancelled by the ESR’s zero to maintain regulator stability. Power-Supply Rejection and Operation from Sources Other than Batteries The G920 is designed to deliver low dropout voltages and low quiescent currents in battery powered systems. Power-supply rejection is 53dB at low frequencies as the frequency increases above 20kHz, the output capacitor is the major contributor to the rejection of power-supply noise. When operating from sources other than batteries, improve supply-noise rejection and transient response by increasing the values of the input and output capacitors, and using passive filtering techniques. Load Transient Considerations The G920 load-transient response graphs show two components of the output response: a DC shift of the output voltage due to the different load currents, and the transient response. Typical overshoot for step changes in the load current from 0mA to 100mA is 12mV. Increasing the output capacitor's value and decreasing its ESR attenuates transient spikes. Over Temperature Protection To prevent abnormal temperature from occurring, the G920 has a built-in temperature monitoring circuit. When it detects the temperature is above 170oC, the output transistor is turned off. When the IC is cooled down to below 150oC, the output is turned on again. In this way, the G920 will be protected against abnormal junction temperature during operation. Input-Output (Dropout) Voltage A regulator's minimum input-output voltage differential (or dropout voltage) determines the lowest usable supply voltage. In battery-powered systems, this will determine the useful end-of-life battery voltage. Because the G920 use a P-channel MOSFET pass transistor, their dropout voltage is a function of RDS(ON) multiplied by the load current. Shutdown Mode When the EN pin is connected a logic low voltage, the G920 enters shutdown mode. All the analog circuits are turned off completely, which reduces the current TEL: 886-3-5788833 http://www.gmt.com.tw Ver 0.0 Preliminary Mar 27, 2001 6 G920 Global Mixed-mode Technology Inc.
