For guaranteed Specifications and test conditions see the Electrical Characteristics. Note 2: Maximum positive supply voltage of 20V must be limited duration (<100mS) and duty cycle (<1%). Note 3: The maximum allowable power dissipation is a function of the maximum junction temperature, Tj, the junction to ambient thermal resistance, θja, and the ambient temperature , Ta. Exceeding the maximum allowable power dissipation will cause excessive die temperature, and the regulator will go into thermal shutdown. The effective value of θja can be reduced by using a heatsink. Note 4: Dropout voltage is defined as the input to output differential at which the output voltage drops 2% below its nominal value measured at 1V differential. Note 5: Ground pin current is the regulator quiescent current. The total current drawn from the source is the sum of the ground pin current and output load current. Note 6: Output current will decrease with increasing temperature, but it will be not dropped below 1.5A at the maximum specified temperature. TS39150 2-5 2005/3 rev. A Application Information Application Information Minimum Load Current The TS39150 series are high performance with low dropout voltage regulator suitable for moderate to high current and voltage regulator application. Its 400mA(typ) dropout voltage at full load and over temperature makes it especially valuable in battery power systems and as high efficiency noise filters in post regulator applications. Unlike normal NPN transistor design, where the base to emitter voltage drop and collector to emitter saturation voltage limit the minimum dropout voltage, dropout performance of the PNP output of these devices is limited only by low Vce saturation voltage. The TS39150 series is fully protected from damage due to fault conditions. Linear current limiting is provided. Output current during overload conditions is constant. Thermal shutdown the device when the die temperature exceeds the maximum safe operating temperature. Transient protection allows device survival even when the input voltage spikes above and below nominal. The output structure of these regulators allows voltages in excess of the desired output voltage to be applied without reverse current flow. The TS39150 series is specified between finite loads. If the output current is too small leakage currents dominate and the output voltage rises. A 10mA minimum load current swamps any expected leakage current across the operating temperature range. Typical Application Circuit Capacitor Requirement The TS39150 series requires an output capacitor to maintain stability and improve transient response is necessary. The value of this capacitor is dependent upon the output current, lower currents allow smaller capacitors. TS39150 series regulators are stable with the 10uF minimum capacitor value at full load. Where the regulator is powered from a source with high AC impedance, a 0.1uF capacitor connected between input and ground is recommended. The capacitor should have good characteristics to above 250KHz. The capacitance values will be improved transient response, ripple rejection and output noise. TS39150 3-5 Thermal Characteristics TS39150 series linear regulators are simple to use, the most complicated design parameters to consider are thermal characteristics, thermal design requires the following application specification parameters: z Maximum ambient temperature, Ta z Output current, Iout z Output voltage, Vout z Input voltage, Vin We calculate the power dissipation of the regulator from these numbers and the device parameters from this data sheet. A heatsink may be required depending on the maximum power dissipation and maximum ambient temperature of the application. Under all possible operating conditions, the junction temperature must be within the range specified under absolute maximum ratings. To determine if the heatsink is required, the power dissipated by the regulator, PD must be calculated. The below formula shows the voltages and currents for calculating the PD in the regulator: Iin = IL / IG PD = (Vin-Vout) * IL + (Vin) * IG Ex. PD = (3.3V-2.5V) * 1.5A + 3.3V * 11mA = 1200mW + 36mW = 1236mW Remark: IL is output load current, IG is ground current. Vin is input voltage Vout is output voltage The next parameter which must be calculated is the maximum allowable temperature rise, TR(max). this is calculated by the using to formula: TR(max) = TJ(max) – TA(max) Where: TJ(max) is the maximum allowable junction o temperature, which is 125 C for commercial grade parts. is the maximum ambient TA(max) temperature which will be encountered in the application. 2005/3 rev. A Application Information (continues) Using the calculated values for TR(max) and PD, the maximum allowable value for the junction to ambient thermal resistance, θja, can now be found: θja = TR(max) / PD IMPORTANT: if the maximum allowable value for is found to be ≥60 oC/W for the TO-220 package, ≥80 o C/W for the TO-263 package, no heatsink is needed since the package alone will dissipate enough heat to satisfy these requirements. If the calculated value for θja falls below these limits, a heatsink is required. TS39150 4-5 2005/3 rev.
