Functional Description
Introduction
The S5U1284 regulator is 5-terminal device designed specifically to provide extremely low dropout voltage comparable to the PNP type without
the disadvantage of the extra power dissipation due to the base current associated with PNP regulators. This is done by bringing out the control
pin of the regulator that provides the base current to the power NPN and connecting it to a voltage that is greater than the voltage present at
the Vin pin. This flexibility makes the S5U1284 ideal for applications where dual inputs are available such as a computer motherboard with an
ATX style power supply that provides 5V and 3.3V to the board. One such application is the new graphic chip sets that require anywhere from
2.4V to 2.7V supply. The S5U1284 can easily be programmed with the addition of two external resistors to any voltages within the range of
1.25V to 15.5V. Another major requirment of these graphic chips is the need to switch the load current from zero to several amps in tens of
nanoseconds at the processor pins, which translates to an approximately 300 to 500ns of current step at the regulator. In addition, the output
voltage tolerances are also extremely tight and they include the transient response as part of the specification. The S5U1284 is specifically
designed to meet the fast current transient needs as well as providing an accurate initial voltage, reducing the overall system cost with the need
for fewer number of output capacitors. Another feature of the device is its true remote sensing capability that allows accurate voltage setting
at the load rather than at the device.
Output Voltage Setting
The S5U1284 can be programmed to any voltage in the range of 1.25V to 15.5V with the addition of R1 and R2 external resistors according to
the following formula:
S5U1284-ADJ
The S5U1284-ADJ keeps a constant 1.25V between the Vsense pin and the Adj pin. By placing a resistor R1 across these two pins and
connecting the Vsense and Vout pin together, a constant current flows through R1, adding to the ladj current and into the R2 resistor producing
a voltage equal to the (1.25/R1)*R2+ladj*R2. This voltage is then added to the 1.25V to set the output voltage. This is summarized in the
above equation. Since the min. load current requirement of the S5U1284-adj is 10mA, R1 is typically selected to be 121 Ohm resistor so that
it automatically satisfies this condition. Notice that since ladj is typically in the range of 55uA it only adds a small error to the output voltage
and should only be considered when a very precise output voltage setting is required.
Load Regulator
Since the S5U1284 has separate pins for the output (Vout) and the sense (Vsense), it is ideal for providing true remote sensing of output
voltage at the load. this means that the voltage drops due to parasitic resistance such PCB traces between the regulator and the load are
compensated for using remote sensing. Figure following shows a typical application of the S5U1284-ADJ with remote sensing.
S5U1284-ADJ
Stability
The S5U1284-XX requires the use of an output capacitor as part of the frequency compensation in order to make the regulator stable.
Typical designs for the microprocessor application use standard electrolytic with typical ESR in the range of 50 to 100 mOhm and an output
capacitance of 100uF to 1000uF. Fortunately as the capacitance increases, the ESR decreases resulting in a fixed RC time constant. The
S5U1284-XX takes advantage of the phenomena in making the overakk regulator loop stable. For most applications a min. of 100uF
aluminum electrolytic capacitor insures both stability and good transient response.

Thermal Design
The S5U1284-XX incorporates an internal thermal shutdown that protects the device when the junction temperature
exceeds the maximum allowable junction temperatures. Although this device can operate with junction temperatures in the
range of 150 , it is recommended that the selected heat sink be chosen such that during maximum continuous load
operation, the junction temperature is kept below this number. The example below shows the steps in selecting the proper
surface mount package.
Assuming, the following conditions: Vout =2.5V, Vin =3.3V, Vctrl =5V, Iout =2A DC Avg.
Calculate the maximum power dissipation using the following equation: Pd =Iout*(Vin-Vout) + (Iout/60)*(Vctrl-Vout)
Pd =2*(3.3-2.5) + (2/60)*(5-2.5) =1.68W
Using table below select the proper package and the amount of copper board needed.
