CS8321 CS8321 Micropower 5V, 150mA Low Dropout Linear Regulator Features Description The CS8321 is a precision 5V micropower voltage regulator with very low quiescent current (140µA typ at 1mA load). The 5V output is accurate within ±2% and supplies 150mA of load current with a typical dropout voltage of only 300mV. This combination of low quiescent current and outstanding regulator performance makes the CS8321 ideal for any battery operated equipment. The regulator is protected against reverse battery and short circuit conditions. The device can withstand 45V load dump transients making it suitable for use in automotive environments.

Circuit Description and Application Notes Antisaturation Protection An antisaturation control circuit has also been added to prevent the pass transistor from going into deep saturation, which would cause excessive power dissipation due to large bias currents lost to the substrate via a parasitic PNP transistor, as shown in Figure 1. Voltage Reference and Output Circuitry The CS8321 is a series pass voltage regulator. It consists of an error amplifier, bandgap voltage reference, PNP pass transistor with antisaturation control, and current limit. As the voltage at the input, VIN, is increased, QN is forward biased via R. QN provides base drive for QP. As QP becomes forward biased, the output voltage, VOUT, begins to rise as QPÕs output current charges the output capacitor. Once VOUT rises to a certain level, the error amplifier becomes biased and provides the appropriate amount of base current to QP. The error amplifier monitors the scaled output voltage via an internal voltage divider, R1 and R2, and compares it to the bandgap voltage reference. The error amplifierÕs output is a current which is equal to the error amplifierÕs differential input voltage times its transconductance. Therefore, the error amplifier varies the base drive current to QN, which provides bias to QP, based on the difference between the reference voltage and the scaled output voltage, VOUT.

The aluminum electrolytic capacitor is the least expensive solution, but, if the circuit operates at low temperatures (-25¡C to -40¡C), both the value and ESR of the capacitor will vary considerably. The capacitor manufacturers data sheet usually provides this information. The value for the output capacitor COUT shown in Figure 3 should work for most applications, however it is not necessarily the best solution. To determine an acceptable value for COUT for a particular application, start with a tantalum capacitor of the recommended value and work towards a less expensive alternative part. Step 1: Place the completed circuit with a tantalum capacitor of the recommended value in an environmental chamber at the lowest specified operating temperature and monitor the outputs with an oscilloscope. A decade box connected in series with the capacitor will simulate the higher ESR of an aluminum capacitor. Leave the decade box outside the chamber, the small resistance added by the longer leads is negligible. Step 2: With the input voltage at its maximum value, increase the load current slowly from zero to full load while observing the output for any oscillations. If no oscillations are observed, the capacitor is large enough to ensure a stable design under steady state conditions. Step 3: Increase the ESR of the capacitor from zero using the decade box and vary the load current until oscillations appear. Record the values of load current and ESR that cause the greatest oscillation. This represents the worst case load conditions for the regulator at low temperature. Step 4: Maintain the worst case load conditions set in step 3 and vary the input voltage until the oscillations increase. This point represents the worst case input voltage conditions. Step 5: If the capacitor is adequate, repeat steps 3 and 4 with the next smaller valued capacitor. A smaller capacitor will usually cost less and occupy less board space. If the output oscillates within the range of expected operating conditions, repeat steps 3 and 4 with the next larger standard capacitor value. Step 6: Test the load transient response by switching in various loads at several frequencies to simulate its real working environment. Vary the ESR to reduce ringing. Step 7: Remove the unit from the environmental chamber and heat the IC with a heat gun. Vary the load current as instructed in step 5 to test for any oscillations. Once the minimum capacitor value with the maximum ESR is found, a safety factor should be added to allow for the tolerance of the capacitor and any variations in regulator performance. Most good quality aluminum electrolytic capacitors have a tolerance of ± 20% so the minimum value found should be increased by at least 50% to allow for this tolerance plus the variation which will occur at low temperatures. The ESR of the capacitor should be less than 50% of the maximum allowable ESR found in step 3 above. Current Limit Limit The output stage is protected against short circuit conditions. As shown in Figure 2, the output current will fold back when the faulted load is continually increased. This technique has been incorporated to limit the total power dissipation across the device during a short circuit condition, since the device does not contain overtemperature shutdown. 0.34257 0.30831 0.27405 Load Current 0.23980 0.20554 0.17128 0.13703 0.10277 0.06851 * Curve will vary with temperature and process variation. 0.03426 0.00000 0.00 0.51 1.02 1.52 2.03 2.54 3.05 3.56 4.06 4.57 5.08 Output Voltage Figure 2.

The maximum power dissipation for a single output regulator (Figure 3) is: PD(max)=(VIN(max)ÐVOUT(min))IOUT(max)+VIN(max)IQ Each material in the heat flow path between the IC and the outside environment will have a thermal resistance. Like series electrical resistances, these resistances are summed to determine the value of RQJA: (1) where: VIN(max) is the maximum input voltage, VOUT(min) is the minimum output voltage, IOUT(max) is the maximum output current for the application, and IQ is the quiescent current the regulator consumes at IOUT(max). RQJA = RQJC + RQCS + RQSA where: RQJC = the junctionÐtoÐcase thermal resistance, RQCS = the caseÐtoÐheatsink thermal resistance, and RQSA = the heatsinkÐtoÐambient thermal resistance. RQJC appears in the package section of the data sheet. Like RQJA, it too is a function of package type. RQCS and RQSA are functions of the package type, heatsink and the interface between them. These values appear in heatsink data sheets of heatsink manufacturers. Once the value of PD(max) is known, the maximum permissible value of RQJA can be calculated: RQJA = 150¡C - TA PD (2) The value of RQJA can then be compared with those in the package section of the data sheet. Those packages with RQJA's less than the calculated value in equation 2 will keep the die temperature below 150¡C. In some cases, none of the packages will be sufficient to dissipate the heat generated by the IC, and an external heatsink will be required.
