This device feature very low quiescent current (typ.130µA), and very low dropout voltage (typ.45mV at light loads and 380mV at 100mA). The quiescent current increases only slightly in dropout. The AMS2942 has positive transient protection up to 60V and can survive unregulated input transient up to 20V below ground. AMS2942 is designed with a tight initial voltage reference tolerance, excellent load and line regulation (typ. 0.05%), and a very low output voltage temperature coefficient, making these devices useful as a low-power voltage regulator in telephone applications, using the telephone line as a power source. The AMS2942 is available in a special 8-pin plastic SOIC in which pin 2 and 3 are fused together with the package paddle serving also as heat sink. An error flag output warns of a low output voltage, often due to failing voltage on input line. A logic-compatible shutdown input is available, which enables the regulator to be switched on and off. The output voltage can be programmed from 1.23V to 42V with an external pair of resistors. ORDERING INFORMATION PACKAGE TYPE 8 LEAD SOIC AMS2942AS AMS2942BS PIN CONNECTION OPERATING TEMP.

Operating Ratings are conditions under which operation of the device is guaranteed. Operating Ratings do not imply guaranteed performance limits. For guaranteed performance limits and associated test conditions, see the Electrical Characteristics tables. Note 2: Unless otherwise specified all limits guaranteed for VIN = ( VONOM +1)V, IL = 100 µA and CL = 1 µF. Limits appearing in boldface type apply over the entire junction temperature range for operation. Limits appearing in normal type apply for TA = TJ = 25°C, VSHUTDOWN ≤ 0.8V. Note 3: Guaranteed and 100% production tested. Note 4: Guaranteed but not 100% production tested. These limits are not used to calculate outgoing AQL levels. Note 5: Dropout voltage is defined as the input to output differential at which the output voltage drops 100 mV below its nominal value measured at 1V differential. At very low values of programmed output voltage, the minimum input supply voltage of 2V ( 2.3V over temperature) must be taken into account. Note 6: Comparator thresholds are expressed in terms of a voltage differential at the feedback terminal below the nominal reference voltage measured at VIN = ( VONOM +1)V. To express these thresholds in terms of output voltage change, multiply by the error amplifier gain = Vout/Vref = (R1 + R2)/R2. For example, at a programmed output voltage of 5V, the error output is guaranteed to go low when the output drops by 95 mV x 5V/1.235 = 384 mV. Thresholds remain constant as a percent of Vout as Vout is varied, with the dropout warning occurring at typically 5% below nominal, 7.5% guaranteed. Note 7: Vref ≤Vout ≤ (Vin - 1V), 2.3 ≤Vin≤42V, 100µA≤IL≤ 100 mA, TJ ≤ TJMAX. Note 8: The junction-to-ambient thermal resistance is 120°C/W for the molded plastic SO-8 (S), when the package is soldered directly to the PCB. Note 9: VSHUTDOWN ≥ 2.5V, VIN ≤ 42V, VOUT =0. Note 10: Output or reference voltage temperature coefficients defined as the worst case voltage change divided by the total temperature range. Note 11: Thermal regulation is defined as the change in output voltage at a time T after a change in power dissipation is applied, excluding load or line regulation effects. Specifications are for a 50mA load pulse at VIN =42V (1.25W pulse) for T =10 ms. Note 12: Regulation is measured at constant junction temperature, using pulse testing with a low duty cycle. Changes in output voltage due to heating effects are covered under the specification for thermal regulation. Note 13: Line regulation is tested at 150°C for IL = 1 mA. For IL = 100 µA and TJ = 125°C, line regulation is guaranteed by design to 0.2%. See typical performance characteristics for line regulation versus temperature and load current.

At lower output voltages, more capacitance is required. Without this capacitor the part will oscillate. Most types of tantalum or aluminum electrolytic works fine here; even film types work but are not recommended for reasons of cost. Many aluminum types have electrolytes that freeze at about -30°C, so solid tantalums are recommended for operation below -25°C. The important parameters of the capacitor are an ESR of about 5 Ω or less and resonant frequency above 500 kHz parameters in the value of the capacitor. The value of this capacitor may be increased without limit. At lower values of output current, less output capacitance is required for stability. The capacitor can be reduced to 0.33 µF for currents below 10 mA or 0.1 µF for currents below 1 mA. At voltages below 5V the error amplifier operates at lower gains so that more output capacitance is needed. For the worst-case situation of a 100mA load at 1.23V output (Output shorted to Feedback) a 3.3µF (or greater) capacitor should be used. A 1µF tantalum or aluminum electrolytic capacitor should be placed between input to ground if there is more than 10 inches of wire between the input and the AC filter capacitor or if a battery is used as the input. Stray capacitance to Feedback terminal can cause instability. This may especially be a problem when using a higher value of external resistors to set the output voltage. Adding a 100 pF capacitor between Output and Feedback and increasing the output capacitor to at least 3.3 µF will fix this problem. The AMS2942 it may be programmed for any output voltage between its 1.235V reference and its 42V maximum rating. As seen in Figure 2, an external pair of resistors is required. The complete equation for the output voltage is: Error Detection Comparator Output The comparator produces a logic low output whenever the output falls out of regulation by more than approximately 5%. This figure is the comparator’s built-in offset of about 60 mV divided by the 1.235 reference voltage. This trip level remains “5% below normal” regardless of the programmed output voltage. For example, the error flag trip level is typically 4.75V for a 5V output or 11.4V for a 12V output. The out of regulation condition may be due either to low input voltage, current limiting, or thermal limiting. Figure 1 gives a timing diagram depicting the ERROR signal and the regulator output voltage as the AMS2942 input is ramped up and down. Since the dropout voltage is load dependent the input voltage trip point will vary with the load current. The output voltage trip point does not vary with load. The error comparator has an opencollector output which requires an external pullup resistor. This resistor may be returned to the output or some other supply voltage depending on system requirements. In determining a value for this resistor, note that the output is rated to sink 400µA. Suggested values range from 100K to 1MΩ. The resistor is not required if error flag terminal is unused. Advanced Monolithic Systems, Inc. Vout = VREF × (1 + R1/ R2)+ IFBR1 where VREF is the nominal 1.235 reference voltage and IFB is the feedback pin bias current, nominally -20 nA. The minimum recommended load current of 1 µA forces an upper limit of 1.2 MΩ on value of R2, if the regulator must work with no load (a condition often found in CMOS in standby) IFB will produce a 2% typical error in VOUT which may be eliminated at room temperature by trimming R1. For better accuracy, choosing R2 = 100k reduces this error to 0.17%. Reducing Output Noise In reference applications it may be an advantageous to reduce the AC noise present at the output. One method is to reduce the regulator bandwidth by increasing the size of the output capacitor. Noise could be reduced fourfold by a bypass capacitor across R1, since it reduces the high frequency gain from 4 to unity. Pick CBYPASS ≅ 1 / 2πR1 × 200 Hz or about 0.01 µF. When doing this, the output capacitor must be increased to 3.3 µF to maintain stability. These changes reduce the output noise from 430 µV to 100 µV rms for a 100 kHz bandwidth at 5V output. With the bypass capacitor added, noise no longer scales with output voltage so that improvements are more dramatic at higher output voltages. www.advanced-monolithic.com Phone (925) 443-0722 Fax (925) 443-0723 AMS2942 APPLICATION HINTS (Continued) +VIN OUTPUT VOLTAGE 4.75V 8 100k VOUT 1.2 30V +VIN ERROR OUPUT ERROR* **SHUTDOWN INPUT 5V INPUT VOLTAGE 5 ERROR* 4 AMS2942 SD R1 GND 3 1.3V 1 VOUT 2 FB 7 3.3µF 1.23 V VREF FIGURE 1.

Using Vout as the pull-up voltage (see Figure 2), rather than an external 5V source, will keep the error flag voltage under 1.2V (typ.) in this condition. The user may wish to drive down the error flag voltage using equal value resistors (10 kΩ suggested), to ensure a low-level logic signal during any fault condition, while still allowing a valid high logic level during normal operation. *See Application Hints.
