NCP4561 Ultra Low-Noise Low Dropout Voltage Regulator with 1.0 V ON/OFF Control The NCP4561 is a Low DropOut (LDO) regulator featuring excellent noise performances. Thanks to its innovative concept, the circuit reaches an incredible 40 VRMS noise level without an external bypass capacitor. Housed in a small SOT–23 5 leads–like package, it represents the ideal designer’s choice when space and noise are at premium. The absence of external bandgap capacitor unleashes the response time to a wake–up signal and makes it stay within 40 s (in repetitive mode), pushing the NCP4561 as a natural candidate in portable applications. The NCP4561 also hosts a novel architecture which prevents excessive undershoots when the regulator is the seat of fast transient bursts, as in any bursting systems. Finally, with a static line regulation better than –75 dB, it naturally shields the downstream electronics against choppy lines.

The change in output voltage for a change in input voltage. The measurement is made under conditions of low dissipation or by using pulse technique such that the average chip temperature is not significantly affected. One usually distinguishes static line regulation or DC line regulation (a DC step in the input voltage generates a corresponding step in the output voltage) from ripple rejection or audio susceptibility where the input is combined with a frequency generator to sweep from a few hertz up to a defined boundary while the output amplitude is monitored. Dropout Voltage The input/output differential at which the regulator output no longer maintains regulation against further reductions in input voltage. Measured when the output drops 100 mV below its nominal value (which is measured at 1.0 V differential value). The dropout level is affected by the chip temperature, load current and minimum input supply requirements. Thermal Protection Output Noise Voltage This is the integrated value of the output noise over a specified frequency range. Input voltage and output current are kept constant during the measurement. Results are expressed in VRMS. Internal thermal shutdown circuitry is provided to protect the integrated circuit in the event that the maximum junction temperature is exceeded. When activated at typically 125°C, the regulator turns off. This feature is provided to prevent catastrophic failures from accidental overheating. Maximum Power Dissipation Maximum Package Power Dissipation The maximum total dissipation for which the regulator will operate within its specs. The maximum power package power dissipation is the power dissipation level at which the junction temperature reaches its maximum operating value, i.e. 125°C. Depending on the ambient temperature, it is possible to calculate the maximum power dissipation and thus the maximum available output current. Quiescent Current The quiescent current is the current which flows through the ground when the LDO operates without a load on its output: internal IC operation, bias, etc. When the LDO becomes loaded, this term is called the Ground current. It is actually the difference between the input current (measured through the LDO input pin) and the output current. http://onsemi.com 4 NCP4561 TYPICAL CHARACTERISTICS 6.000 210 QUIESCENT CURRENT (A) GROUND CURRENT (mA) 5.500 5.000 4.500 4.000 –40°C 25°C 3.500 3.000 2.500 85°C 2.000 1.500 1.000 0.500 0.000 0 20 40 80 60 100 205 200 195 190 185 –60 –40 –20 0 20 40 60 80 100 OUTPUT CURRENT (mA) AMBIENT TEMPERATURE (°C) Figure 2.

A 1.0 F capacitor either ceramic or tantalum is recommended and should be connected close to the NCP4561 package. Higher values will correspondingly improve the overall line transient response. The NCP4561 hosts several protections, giving natural ruggedness and reliability to the products implementing the component. The output current is internally limited to a maximum value of 180 mA typical while temperature shutdown occurs if the die heats up beyond 125°C. These values let you assess the maximum differential voltage the device can sustain at a given output current before its protections come into play. The maximum dissipation the package can handle is given by: Output Decoupling Thanks to a novel concept, the NCP4561 is a stable component and does not require any specific Equivalent Series Resistance (ESR) neither a minimum output current. Capacitors exhibiting ESRs ranging from a few m up to 3.0 can thus safely be used. The minimum decoupling value is 1.0 F and can be augmented to fulfill stringent load transient requirements. The regulator accepts ceramic chip capacitors as well as tantalum devices. T T A P max Jmax R JA If TJmax is limited to 125°C, then the NCP4561 can dissipate up to 470 mW @ 25°C. The power dissipated by the NCP4561 can be calculated from the following formula: Noise Decoupling Ptot V Unlike other LDOs, the NCP4561 is a true low–noise regulator. Without the need of an external bypass capacitor, it typically reaches the incredible level of 40 VRMS overall noise between 100 Hz and 100 kHz. To give maximum insight on noise specifications, ON Semiconductor includes spectral density graphics. The classical bypass capacitor impacts the start–up phase of standard LDOs. However, thanks to its low–noise architecture, the NCP4561 operates without a bypass element and thus offers a typical 40 s start–up phase. in I (I ) V V out I out gnd out in or Vin max Ptot V out I out I gnd I out If a 80 mA output current is needed, the ground current is extracted from the data–sheet curves: 4.0 mA @ 80 mA. For a NCP4561SN28T1 (2.8 V) delivering 80 mA and operating at 25°C, the maximum input voltage will then be 8.3 V. http://onsemi.com 7 NCP4561 Typical Applications The following figure portrays the typical application of the NCP4561.

A Typical Application Schematic PCB Layout Considerations inductances/capacitances are minimized. This layout is the basis for the NCP4561 performance evaluation board. The BNC connectors give the user an easy and quick evaluation mean. As for any low noise designs, particular care has to be taken when tackling Printed Circuit Board (PCB) layout.

PCB Layout http://onsemi.com 8 NCP4561 Understanding the Load Transient Improvement During this decreasing phase, the LDO stops the PNP bias and one can consider the LDO asleep. If by misfortune a current shot appears, the reaction time is incredibly lengthened and a strong undershoot takes place. This reaction is clearly not acceptable for line sensitive devices, such as VCOs or other Radio–Frequency parts. This problem is dramatically exacerbated when the output current drops to zero rather than a few mA. In this later case, the internal feedback network is the only discharge path, accordingly lengthening the output voltage decay period. The NCP4561 cures this problem by implementing a clever design where the LDO detects the presence of the overshoot and forces the system to go back to steady–state as soon as possible, ready for the next shot, which positively improves the response time and decreases the negative peak voltage. The NCP4561 features a novel architecture which allows the user to easily implement the regulator in burst systems where the time between two current shots is kept very small. The quality of the transient response time is related to many parameters, among which the closed–loop bandwidth with the corresponding phase margin plays an important role. However, other characteristics also come into play like the series pass transistor saturation. When a current perturbation suddenly appears on the output, e.g. a load increase, the error amplifier reacts and actively biases the PNP transistor. During this reaction time, the LDO is in open–loop and the output impedance is rather high. As a result, the voltage brutally drops until the error amplifier effectively closes the loop and corrects the output error. When the load disappears, the opposite phenomenon takes place with a positive overshoot. The problem appears when this overshoot decays down to the LDO steady–state value. NCP4561 has a fast start–up phase unacceptable level. NCP4561 offers the best of both worlds since it no longer includes a bypass capacitor and starts in less than 40 s typically (Repetitive at 200 Hz). It also ensures a low–noise level of 40 VRMS 100 Hz–100 kHz. The following picture details the typical NCP4561 startup phase. Thanks to the lack of bypass capacitor the NCP4561 is able to supply its downstream circuitry as soon as the OFF to ON signal appears. In a standard LDO, the charging time of the external bypass capacitor hampers the response time. A simple solution consists in suppressing this bypass element but, unfortunately, the noise rises to an Tek Run: 5.00 MS/s Sample Vout 500 mV/div C4 High 2.78 V C4 Mean 2.426 V ON/OFF Pin Voltage 1 V/div Ch3 1.00 V Ch4 500 mV M 10.0 s Ch3 1.82 V (Conditions: Vin = 3.8 V, Iload = 10 mA, Cout = 1 F) Figure 12.
