Intersil LP3991TL-1.3 300ma linear voltage regulator for digital application Datasheet

LP3991
300mA Linear Voltage Regulator for Digital Applications
General Description
Features
Operating from a minimum input voltage of 1.65V, the LP3991
regulator has been designed to provide fixed stable output
voltages for load currents up to 300mA. This device is suitable
where accurate, low voltages are required from low input voltage sources and is therefore suitable for post regulation of
switched mode regulators. In such applications, significant
improvements in performance and EMI can be realized, with
little reduction in overall efficiency. The LP3991 will provide
fixed outputs as low as 1.2V from a wide input range of 1.65V
to 4.0V Using the enable pin, the device may be controlled to
provide a shutdown state, in which negligible supply current
is drawn.
The LP3991 is designed to be stable with space saving ceramic capacitors as small as 0402 case size.
Performance is specified for a -40°C to 125°C junction temperature range.

Note 6: The maximum ambient temperature (TA(max)) is dependant on the maximum operating junction temperature (TJ(max-op) = 125°C), the maximum power
dissipation of the device in the application (PD(max)), and the junction to ambient thermal resistance of the part / package in the application (θJA), as given by the
following equation: TA(max) = TJ(max-op) - (θJA × PD(max)).
Note 7: Junction to ambient thermal resistance is dependant on the application and board layout. In applications where high maximum power dissipation is
possible, special care must be paid to thermal dissipation issues in board design.
Note 8: Full details can be found in JESD61-7
Note 9: All limits are guaranteed. All electrical characteristics having room-temperature limits are tested during production at TJ = 25°C or correlated using
Statistical Quality Control methods. Operation over the temperature specification is guaranteed by correlating the electrical characteristics to process and
temperature variations and applying statistical process control.
Note 10: VIN(MIN) = VOUT(NOM) + 0.5V or 1.65V, whichever is greater. (See post DC/DC convertor example in application information section).
Note 11: Dropout voltage is voltage difference between input and output at which the output voltage drops to 100mV below its nominal value. This parameter is
only specified for output voltages above 1.8V.
Note 12: The device maintains the regulated output voltage without a load.
Note 13: Short circuit current is measured with VOUT pulled to 0V.
Note 14: This electrical specification is guaranteed by design.
Note 15: Enable Pin has an internal 1.2MΩ typical, resistor connected to GND.
Note 16: The device will operate with input voltages up to 4.0V. However special care should be taken in relation to thermal dissipation and the need to derate
the maximum allowable ambient temperature. See (Notes 6, 7)

EXTERNAL CAPACITORS
In common with most regulators, the LP3991 requires external capacitors for regulator stability. The LP3991 is specifically designed for portable applications requiring minimum
board space and smallest components. These capacitors
must be correctly selected for good performance.
INPUT CAPACITOR
An input capacitor is required for stability. It is recommended
that a 1.0µF capacitor be connected between the LP3991 input pin and ground (this capacitance value may be increased
without limit).
This capacitor must be located a distance of not more than
1cm from the input pin and returned to a clean analogue
ground. Any good quality ceramic, tantalum, or film capacitor
may be used at the input.
Important: Tantalum capacitors can suffer catastrophic failures due to surge current when connected to a lowimpedance source of power (like a battery or a very large
capacitor). If a tantalum capacitor is used at the input, it must
be guaranteed by the manufacturer to have a surge current
rating sufficient for the application.
There are no requirements for the ESR (Equivalent Series
Resistance) on the input capacitor, but tolerance, temperature, and voltage coefficients must be considered when selecting the capacitor to ensure the capacitance will remain ≊
1.0µF over the entire operating temperature range.
OUTPUT CAPACITOR
Correct selection of the output capacitor is critical to ensure
stable operation in the intended application.
The output capacitor must meet all the requirements specified
in the recommended capacitor table over all conditions in the
application. these conditions include DC bias, frequency and
temperature. Unstable operation will result if the capacitance
drops below the minimum specified value.
The LP3991 is designed specifically to work with very small
ceramic output capacitors. For voltage options of 1.5V and
higher, A 4.7µF ceramic capacitor (dielectric type X7R or
X5R) with an ESR between 5mΩ to 500mΩ, is suitable in the
LP3991 application circuit. However, on lower VOUT options a
2.2µF may be employed with only a small increase in load
transient.
Other ceramic types such as Y5V and Z5U are less suitable
owing to their inferior temperature characteristics. (See section on Capacitor Characteristics).
It is also recommended that the output capacitor is placed
within 1cm of the output pin and returned to a clean, low
impedance, ground connection.
It is possible to use tantalum or film capacitors at the device
output, VOUT, but these are not as attractive for reasons of
size and cost (see the section Capacitor Characteristics).
20110040
FIGURE 1. Effect of DC bias on Capacitance Value.
As an example Figure 1 shows a typical graph showing a
comparison of capacitor case sizes in a Capacitance vs. DC
Bias plot. As shown in the graph, as a result of the DC Bias
condition, the capacitance value may drop below the minimum capacitance value given in the recommended capacitor
table. Note that the graph shows the capacitance out of spec
for the 0402 case size capacitor at higher bias voltages. It is
therefore recommended that the capacitor manufacturers'
specifications for the nominal value capacitor are consulted
for all conditions as some capacitor sizes (e.g. 0402) may not
be suitable in the actual application. Ceramic capacitors have
the lowest ESR values, thus making them best for eliminating
high frequency noise. The ESR of a typical 4.7µF ceramic
capacitor is in the range of 20mΩ to 40mΩ, which easily
meets the ESR requirement for stability for the LP3991. The
temperature performance of ceramic capacitors varies by
type. Capacitor type X7R is specified with a tolerance of ±15%
over the temperature range -55°C to +125°C. The X5R has a
similar tolerance over the reduced temperature range of -55°
C to +85°C. Some large value ceramic capacitors (4.7µF) are
manufactured with Z5U or Y5V temperature characteristics,
which can result in the capacitance dropping by more than
50% as the temperature varies from 25°C to 85°C. Therefore
X7R or X5R types are recommended in applications where
the temperature will change significantly above or below 25°
C.
Tantalum capacitors are less desirable than ceramic for use
as output capacitors because they are more expensive when
comparing equivalent capacitance and voltage ratings in the
NO-LOAD STABILITY
The LP3991 will remain stable and in regulation with no external load. This is an important consideration in some circuits, for example CMOS RAM keep-alive applications.
CAPACITOR CHARACTERISTICS
The LP3991 is designed to work with ceramic capacitors on
the input and output to take advantage of the benefits they
offer. For capacitance values around 4.7µF, ceramic capaci-
9

LP3991
tors give the circuit designer the best design options in terms
of low cost and minimal area.
For both input and output capacitors, careful interpretation of
the capacitor specification is required to ensure correct device
operation. The capacitor value can change greatly dependant
on the conditions of operation and capacitor type.
In particular, to ensure stability, the output capacitor selection
should take account of all the capacitor parameters, to ensure
that the specification is met within the application. Capacitance value can vary with DC bias conditions as well as
temperature and frequency of operation. Capacitor values will
also show some decrease over time due to aging. The capacitor parameters are also dependant on the particular case
size with smaller sizes giving poorer performance figures in
general.
Application Information
LP3991
1µF to 4.7µF range. Another important consideration is that
tantalum capacitors have higher ESR values than equivalent
size ceramics. This means that while it may be possible to find
a tantalum capacitor with an ESR value within the stable
range, it would have to be larger in capacitance (which means
bigger and more costly) than a ceramic capacitor with the
same ESR value. It should also be noted that the ESR of a
typical tantalum will increase about 2:1 as the temperature
goes from 25°C down to -40°C, so some guard band must be
allowed.
micro SMD MOUNTING
The micro SMD package requires specific mounting techniques which are detailed in the National Semiconductor
Application Note (AN-1112). Referring to the section Surface
Mount Technology (SMT) Assenbly Considerations, it should
be noted that the pad style which must be used with the 4 pin
package is NSMD (non-solder mask defined) type.
For best results during assembly, alignment ordinals on the
PCB may be used to facilitate placement of the micro SMD
device.
ENABLE CONTROL
The LP3991 features an active high Enable pin, VEN, which
turns the device on when pulled high. When not enabled the
regulator output is off and the device typically consumes 2nA.
If the application does not require the Enable switching feature, the VEN pin should be tied to VIN to keep the regulator
output permanently on.
To ensure proper operation, the signal source used to drive
the VEN input must be able to swing above and below the
specified turn-on/off voltage thresholds listed in the Electrical
Characteristics section under VIL and VIH.
micro SMD LIGHT SENSITIVITY
Exposing the micro SMD device to direct sunlight may cause
mis-operation of the device. Light sources such as halogen
lamps can affect the electrical performance if brought near to
the device.
The wavelengths which have most detrimental effect are reds
and infra-reds, which means that fluorescent lighting, used
inside most buildings will have little effect on performance.
20110036
FIGURE 2. LP3991 Used as a Post DC/DC regulator
POST-BUCK REGULATOR
Linear Post-Regulation can be an effective way to reduce ripple and switching noise from DC/DC convertors while still
maintaining a reasonably high overall efficiency.
The LP3991 is particularly suitable for this role due to its low
input voltage requirements. In addition, there is often no need
for a separate input capacitor for the LP3991 as it can share
the output cap of the DC/DC convertor.
Care of PCB layouts involving switching regulators is
paramount. In particular, the ground paths for the LDO should
be routed separately from the switcher ground and star connected close to the battery. Routing of the switch pin of the
DC/DC convertor must be kept short to minimize radiated
EMI. A low pass filter such as a ferrite bead or common mode
choke on the battery input leads can further reduce radiated
EMI.
Figure 2 shows a typical example using an LM3673, 350mA
DC/DC buck regulator with a nominal output of 1.8V and a
1.5V LP3991. The overall efficiency will be greater than 70%
over the full Li-Ion battery voltage range. Maximum efficiency
is achieved by minimizing the difference between VIN and
VOUT of the LP3991. The LP3991-1.5 will remain in regulation
down to an input voltage of 1.65V, so, in this case, a 1.8V
buck with 5% tolerance is adequate for all conditions of temperature and load.
