The LM323,A are monolithic integrated circuits which supply a fixed
positive 5.0 V output with a load driving capability in excess of 3.0 A. These
three–terminal regulators employ internal current limiting, thermal shutdown,
and safe–area compensation. The A–suffix is an improved device with
superior electrical characteristics and a 2% output voltage tolerance. These
regulators are offered with a 0° to +125°C temperature range in a low cost
plastic power package.
Although designed primarily as a fixed voltage regulator, these devices
can be used with external components to obtain adjustable voltages and
currents. These devices can be used with a series pass transistor to supply
up to 15 A at 5.0 V.

voltage must remain typically 2.5 V above the output voltage even during the low point
on the input ripple voltage.

3. Load and line regulation are specified at constant junction temperature. Pulse testing is required with a pulse width ≤ 1.0 ms and a duty cycle ≤ 5%.
4. Without a heatsink, the thermal resistance (RθJA is 65°C/W). With a heatsink, the effective thermal resistance can approach the specified values of

be caused by a change in either 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 LM323A to a 20 W input pulse. The variation of the
output voltage due to line regulation is labeled À and the
thermal regulation component is labeled Á. Figure 2 shows
the load and thermal regulation response of a typical LM323A
to a 20 W load pulse. The output voltage variation due to load
regulation is labeled À and the thermal regulation component
is labeled Á.
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 (< 100 µs) 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 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 can

APPLICATIONS INFORMATION
Design Considerations
The LM323,A 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
MOTOROLA ANALOG IC DEVICE DATA
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.

For example, a 2.0 A current source would require R to be a 2.5 Ω,
15 W resistor and the output voltage compliance would be the input
voltage less 7.5 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 LM323, A 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.

The circuit of Figure 16 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 8.0 A power transistor is specified.
