Stability The circuit design used in the LND1086 series requires the use of an output capacitor as part of the device frequency compensation. The addition of 150 µF aluminum electrolytic or a 22 µF solid tantalum on the output will ensure stability for all operating conditions. Microsecond surge currents of 10A to 20A can be handled by the internal diode between the Output pin and the Input pin of the device. In normal operations it is difficult to get those values of surge currents even with the use of large output capacitance. Only with high value output capacitors, such as 1000 to 5000µF and with the Input pin instantaneously shorted to ground, can damage occur. A diode from output to input is recommended (Figure 2). Output Voltage The LND1086 develops a 1.25V reference voltage between the Output pin and the Adjust pin (Figure 1). Placing a resistor between these two terminals causes a constant current to flow through R1 and down though R2 to set the output voltage. In general R1 is chosen so that this current is the specified minimum load current of 10mA. The current out of the Adjust pin is small as compared to the current from R1 and can be ignored. For fixed voltage devices R1 and R2 are included in the device. Figure 1. Output Voltage Protection Diodes In normal operation LND1086 family does not need any protection diodes between the adjustment pin and the output and from the output to the input to prevent die overstresses. Internal resistors are limiting the internal current paths on the ADJ pin. Therefore even with bypass capacitors on the adjust pin no protection diode is needed to ensure device safety under short-circuit conditions Figure 2. Protection Diodes Thermal Considerations The LND1086 series have internal power and thermal-limiting circuitry designed to protect the device under overload conditions. However, maximum junction temperature ratings should not be exceeded under continuous normal load conditions. Careful consideration must be given to all sources of thermal resistance from junction to ambient, including junction-to-case, case to-heat sink interface and heat sink resistance itself. • Linear Dimensions, Inc. • 445 East Ohio Street, Chicago IL 60611 USA • tel 312.321.1810 • fax 312.321.1830 • www.lineardimensions.com • LND1085/86 TYPICAL APPLICATIONS Improving ripple rejection 5V regulator with shutdown 1.2V to 15v adjustable regulator Automatic light control • Linear Dimensions, Inc. • 445 East Ohio Street, Chicago IL 60611 USA • tel 312.321.1810 • fax 312.321.1830 • www.lineardimensions.com •
