The maximum continuous supply voltage is 16V. Note 2: Full load current (IFL) is defined as 5A. Note 3: VIN = VOUT (NOMINAL) +1V. For example, use VIN = 4.3V for a 3.3V regulator. Employ pulse-testing procedures to minimize temperature rise. Note 4 Ground pin current is the regulator quiescent current. The total current drawn from the source is the sum of the load current plus the ground pin current. Note 5: Output voltage temperature coefficient is defined as the worst case voltage change divided by the total temperature range. Note 6: Thermal regulation is defined as the change in output voltage at time T after a change in power dissipation is applied, excluding load / line regulation effects. Specifications for a 200mA load pulse as VIN = 20V (a 4W pulse) for t = 10ms. Note 7: VREF≤ VOUT ≤ (VIN-1), 2.3V≤VIN ≤ 16V, 10mA ≤ IL ≤ IFL, Tj < Tjmax. Note 8: Comparator threshold is expressed in terms of a voltage differential at the Adjust terminal below the nominal reference voltage measured 6V input. To express these thresholds in terms of output voltage change, multiply the error amplifier gain = VOUT/VREF = (R1 + R2)/R2. For example, at a programmable output voltage of 5V, the Error output is guaranteed to go low when the output drops by 95mVx 5V/ 1.240V = 383mV. Threshold remain constant as a percent of VOUT as VOUT is varied, with the dropout warning occurring at typically 5% below nominal, 7.7% guaranteed. Note 9: VEN ≤ 0.4V and VIN ≤ 16V, VOUT = 0. Note 10: Measured with IOUT = IOUT MIN (10mA).

If the power source has a high AC impedance, a 0.1µF ceramic capacitor between input & ground is recommended. Thermal Considerations Minimum Load Current Although the SPX29501/02 offers limiting circuitry for overload conditions, it is still necessary to insure that the maximum junction temperature is not exceeded in the application. Heat will flow through the lowest resistance path, the junction-to-case path. In order to insure the best thermal flow of the component, proper mounting is required. To ensure a proper behavior of the regulator under light load, a minimum load of 10mA for SPX29501/02 is required. Adjustable Regulator Design The SPX29502 is an adjustable regulator that can be programmed to any value between 1.24V and 16V using 2 resistors, R1 and R2. The relationship between the resistors is: TO-220 Design Example: Assume that VIN = 8V, VOUT = 5V, IOUT = 5A, TA = 50°C, θHA= 1°C/W, θCH= 2°C/W, and θJC= 2°C/W, where: R1 = R2(VOUT/1.24-1). Error Flag The SPX29501 features an error flag that indicates either an over current or under voltage condition. The flag output goes low, sinking 10mA when either condition occurs. TA = ambient temperature, θHA= heatsink to ambient thermal resistance θCH= case to heatsink thermal resistance θJC = junction to case thermal resistance The power calculated under these conditions is: Enable Input The SPX29501/02 have an Enable function that switches the regulator on and off. Their thresholds are TTL compatible. Enabling the regulator requires approximately 20µA of current. PD = (VIN – VOUT) * IOUT = 15W. Typical Application Circuits And the junction temperature is calculated as TJ = TA + PD * (θHA + θCH + θJC) or TJ = 50 + 15 * (1+2+2) = 125°C Figure 1 represents at typical fixed output regulator. Figure 2 represents an adjustable output regulator. The values of R1 and R2 set the output voltage value as follows: Reliable operation is insured. VOUT =VREF * [1 + (R1/R2)]. Capacitor Requirements The output capacitor is needed to insure stability and minimize the output noise. The value of the capacitor varies with the load. However, a minimum value of 22µF aluminum capacitor will guarantee stability over all load conditions. A tantalum capacitor is recommended if a faster Rev:B Nov 2008 For best results, the total series resistance should guarantee a minimum regulator load current of 10mA.
