These features, combined with a high thermal performance MSOP-8 with PowerPAD package make this device ideal for high-performance analog applications. ADJUSTABLE OPERATION VEN VIN The TPS7A3001 has an output voltage range of –1.174 to –33V. The nominal output voltage of the device is set by two external resistors, as shown in Figure 29. Time (20ms/div) Figure 30. Enable Pin Positive/Negative Threshold VOUT VIN OUT IN CIN 10mF EN CBYP 10nF TPS7A3001 R1 FB R2 CNR/SS 10nF NR/SS CAPACITOR RECOMMENDATIONS COUT 10mF GND Figure 29. Adjustable Operation for Maximum AC Performance R1 and R2 can be calculated for any output voltage range using the formula shown in Equation 1. To ensure stability under no load conditions, this resistive network must provide a current equal to or greater than 5mA. VOUT VOUT ³ 5mA R1 = R2 - 1 , where R1 + R2 VREF (1) If greater voltage accuracy is required, take into account the output voltage offset contributions because of the feedback pin current and use 0.1% tolerance resistors. ENABLE PIN OPERATION The TPS7A30xx provides a dual polarity enable pin (EN) that turns on the regulator when |VEN| > 2.0V, whether the voltage is positive or negative, as shown in Figure 30. This functionality allows for different system power management topologies: • Connecting the EN pin directly to a negative voltage, such as VIN, or • Connecting the EN pin directly to a positive voltage, such as the output of digital logic circuitry. 12 VOUT Submit Documentation Feedback Low ESR capacitors should be used for the input, output, noise reduction, and bypass capacitors. Ceramic capacitors with X7R and X5R dielectrics are preferred. These dielectrics offer more stable characteristics. Ceramic X7R capacitors offer improved over-temperature performance, while ceramic X5R capacitors are the most cost-effective and are available in higher values. Note that high ESR capacitors may degrade PSRR. INPUT AND OUTPUT CAPACITOR REQUIREMENTS The TPS7A30xx family of negative, high-voltage linear regulators achieve stability with a minimum input and output capacitance of 2.2mF; however, it is highly recommended to use a 10mF capacitor to maximize ac performance. NOISE REDUCTION AND BYPASS CAPACITOR REQUIREMENTS Although noise reduction and bypass capacitors (CNR/SS and CBYP, respectively) are not needed to achieve stability, it is highly recommended to use 0.01mF capacitors to minimize noise and maximize ac performance. MAXIMUM AC PERFORMANCE In order to maximize noise and PSRR performance, it is recommended to include 10mF or higher input and output capacitors, and 0.01mF noise reduction and bypass capacitors, as shown in Figure 29. The solution shown delivers minimum noise levels of 15.1mVRMS and power-supply rejection levels above 55dB from 10Hz to 700kHz; see Figure 18 and Figure 19. Copyright © 2010, Texas Instruments Incorporated TPS7A30xx www.ti.com OUTPUT NOISE The TPS7A30xx provides low output noise when a noise reduction capacitor (CNR/SS) is used. The noise reduction capacitor serves as a filter for the internal reference. By using a 0.01mF noise reduction capacitor, the output noise is reduced by almost 80% (from 80mVRMS to 17mVRMS); see Figure 20. SBVS125 – AUGUST 2010 Additionally, ac performance can be maximized by adding a 0.01mF bypass capacitor (CBYP) from the FB pin to the OUT pin. This capacitor greatly improves power-supply rejection at lower frequencies, for the band from 10Hz to 200kHz; see Figure 18. TPS7A30xx low output voltage noise makes it an ideal solution for powering noise-sensitive circuitry. The very high power-supply rejection of the TPS7A30xx makes it a good choice for powering high-performance analog circuitry, such as operational amplifiers, ADCs, DACS, and audio amplifiers. POWER-SUPPLY REJECTION TRANSIENT RESPONSE The 0.01mF noise reduction capacitor greatly improves TPS7A30xx power-supply rejection, achieving up to 20dB of additional power-supply rejection for frequencies between 110Hz and 400KHz. As with any regulator, increasing the size of the output capacitor reduces over/undershoot magnitude but increases duration of the transient response.

In conjunction with its positive counterpart, the TPS7A49xx family of positive high-voltage linear regulators, the TPS7A30xx family of negative high voltage linear regulators provides ultralow noise positive and negative voltage rails to high-performance analog circuitry, such as operational amplifiers, ADCs, DACs, and audio amplifiers. Because of the ultralow noise levels at high voltages, analog circuitry with high-voltage input supplies can be used. This characteristic allows for high-performance analog solutions to optimize the voltage range, maximizing system accuracy. The TPS7A30xx offers a wide-bandwidth, very-high power-supply rejection ratio. This specification makes it ideal for post dc/dc converter filtering, as shown in Figure 31. It is highly recommended to use the maximum performance schematic shown in Figure 29. Also, verify that the fundamental frequency (and its first harmonic, if possible) is within the bandwidth of the regulator PSRR, shown in Figure 18. +18V DC/DC converters are the preferred solution to step up or down a voltage rail when current consumption is not negligible. They offer high efficiency with minimum heat generation, but they have one primary disadvantage: they introduce a high-frequency component, and the associated harmonics, on top of the dc output signal. This high-frequency component, if not filtered properly, degrades analog circuitry performance, reducing overall system accuracy and precision. OUT +15V TPS7A49 POST DC/DC CONVERTER FILTERING Most of the time, the voltage rails available in a system do not match the voltage specifications demanded by one or more of its circuits; these rails must be stepped up or down, depending on specific voltage requirements.

Post DC/DC Converter Regulation to High-Performance Analog Circuitry AUDIO APPLICATIONS Audio applications are extremely sensitive to any distortion and noise in the audio band from 20Hz to 20kHz. This stringent requirement demands clean voltage rails to power critical high-performance audio systems. The very-high power-supply rejection ratio (> 55dB) and low noise at the audio band of the TPS7A30xx maximize performance for audio applications; see Figure 18. 14 Submit Documentation Feedback Copyright © 2010, Texas Instruments Incorporated TPS7A30xx www.ti.com SBVS125 – AUGUST 2010 LAYOUT PACKAGE MOUNTING Solder pad footprint recommendations for the TPS7A30xx are available at the end of this product datasheet and at www.ti.com. BOARD LAYOUT RECOMMENDATIONS TO IMPROVE PSRR AND NOISE PERFORMANCE To improve ac performance such as PSRR, output noise, and transient response, it is recommended that the board be designed with separate ground planes for IN and OUT, with each ground plane connected only at the GND pin of the device. In addition, the ground connection for the output capacitor should connect directly to the GND pin of the device. Equivalent series inductance (ESL) and equivalent series resistance (ESR) must be minimized in order to maximize performance and ensure stability. Every capacitor (CIN, COUT, CNR/SS, CBYP) must be placed as close as possible to the device and on the same side of the printed circuit board (PCB) as the regulator itself. Do not place any of the capacitors on the opposite side of the PCB from where the regulator is installed. The use of vias and long traces is strongly discouraged because they may impact system performance negatively and even cause instability. If possible, and to ensure the maximum performance denoted in this product datasheet, use the same layout pattern used for TPS7A30 evaluation board, available at www.ti.com. THERMAL PROTECTION Thermal protection disables the output when the junction temperature rises to approximately +170°C, allowing the device to cool. When the junction temperature cools to approximately +150°C, the output circuitry is enabled. Depending on power dissipation, thermal resistance, and ambient temperature, the thermal protection circuit may cycle on and off. This cycling limits the dissipation of the regulator, protecting it from damage as a result of overheating. Any tendency to activate the thermal protection circuit indicates excessive power dissipation or an inadequate heatsink. For reliable operation, junction temperature should be limited to a maximum of +125°C. To estimate the margin of safety in a complete design (including heatsink), increase the ambient temperature until the thermal protection is triggered; use worst-case loads and signal conditions. For good reliability, thermal protection should trigger Copyright © 2010, Texas Instruments Incorporated at least +35°C above the maximum expected ambient condition of your particular application. This configuration produces a worst-case junction temperature of +125°C at the highest expected ambient temperature and worst-case load. The internal protection circuitry of the TPS7A30xx has been designed to protect against overload conditions. It was not intended to replace proper heatsinking. Continuously running the TPS7A30xx into thermal shutdown degrades device reliability. POWER DISSIPATION The ability to remove heat from the die is different for each package type, presenting different considerations in the PCB layout. The PCB area around the device that is free of other components moves the heat from the device to the ambient air. Performance data or JEDEC low- and high-K boards are given in the Dissipation Ratings Table. Using heavier copper increases the effectiveness in removing heat from the device. The addition of plated through-holes to heat dissipating layers also improves the heatsink effectiveness. Power dissipation depends on input voltage and load conditions. Power dissipation (PD) is equal to the product of the output current times the voltage drop across the output pass element, as shown in Equation 2: PD = (VIN - VOUT) IOUT (2) SUGGESTED LAYOUT AND SCHEMATIC Layout is a critical part of good power-supply design. There are several signal paths that conduct fast-changing currents or voltages that can interact with stray inductance or parasitic capacitance to generate noise or degrade the power-supply performance. To help eliminate these problems, the IN pin should be bypassed to ground with a low ESR ceramic bypass capacitor with a X5R or X7R dielectric. The GND pin should be tied directly to the PowerPAD under the IC. The PowerPAD should be connected to any internal PCB ground planes using multiple vias directly under the IC. It may be possible to obtain acceptable performance with alternate PCB layouts; however, the layout shown in Figure 32 and the schematic shown in Figure 33 have been shown to produce good results and are meant as a guideline.
