LM3411 Precision Secondary Regulator/Driver General Description The LM3411 is a low power fixed-voltage (3.3V or 5.0V) precision shunt regulator designed specifically for driving an optoisolator to provide feedback isolation in a switching regulator. The LM3411 circuitry includes an internally compensated op amp, a bandgap reference, NPN output transistor, and voltage setting resistors. A trimmed precision bandgap reference with temperature drift curvature correction, provides a guaranteed 1% precision over the operating temperature range (A grade version). The amplifier’s inverting input is externally accessible for loop frequency compensation when used as part of a larger servo system. The output is an open-emitter NPN transistor capable of driving up to 15 mA of load current. Because of its small die size, the LM3411 has been made available in the sub-miniature 5-lead SOT23-5 surface mount package. This package is ideal for use in space critical applications. Although its main application is to provide a precision output voltage (no trimming required) and maintain very good regulation in isolated DC/DC converters, it can also be used with other types of voltage regulators or power semiconductors to provide a precision output voltage without precision resistors or trimming.

Operating Ratings indicate conditions for which the device is intended to be functional, but do not guarantee specific performance limits. For guaranteed specifications and test conditions, see the Electrical Characteristics. The guaranteed specifications apply only for the test conditions listed. Some performance characteristics may degrade when the device is not operated under the listed test conditions. Note 2: The maximum power dissipation must be derated at elevated temperatures and is dictated by TJmax (maximum junction temperature), θJA (junction to ambient thermal resistance), and TA (ambient temperature). The maximum allowable power dissipation at any temperature is (PDmax = TJmax − TA)/θJA or the number given in the Absolute Maximum Ratings, whichever is lower. The typical thermal resistance (θJA) when soldered to a printed circuit board is approximately 306˚C/W for the M5 package. Note 3: The human body model is a 100 pF capacitor discharged through a 1.5 kΩ resistor into each pin. Note 4: Typical numbers are at 25˚C and represent the most likely parametric norm. Note 5: Limits are 100% production tested at 25˚C. Limits over the operating temperature range are guaranteed through correlation using Statistical Quality Control (SQC) methods. The limits are used to calculate National’s Averaging Outgoing Level (AOQL). Note 6: Actual test is done using equivalent current sink instead of a resistor load. Note 7: VSAT = V(IN) − VOUT, when the voltage at the IN pin is forced 100 mV above the nominal regulating voltage (VREG).

The regulated output voltage is sensed between the IN pin and GROUND pin of the LM3411. If the voltage at the IN pin is less than the LM3411 regulating voltage (VREG), the OUT pin sources no current. As the voltage at the IN pin approaches the VREG voltage, the OUT pin begins sourcing current. This current is then used to drive a feedback device, (opto-coupler) or a power device, (linear regulator, switching regulator, etc.) which servos the output voltage to be the same value as VREG. In some applications, (even under normal operating conditions) the voltage on the IN pin can be forced above the VREG voltage. In these instances, the maximum voltage applied to the IN pin should not exceed 20V. In addition, an external resistor may be required on the OUT pin to limit the maximum current to 20 mA. where Rf ≈ 52 kΩ for the 3.3V part, and Rf ≈ 94 kΩ for the 5V part. The resistor (Rf) in the formula is an internal resistor located on the die. Since this resistor value will affect the phase margin, the worst case maximum and minimum values are important when analyzing closed loop stability. The minimum and maximum room temperature values of this resistor are specified in the Electrical Characteristics section of this data sheet, and a curve showing the temperature coefficient is shown in the curves section. In the applications shown here, the worst case phase margin occurs with minimum values of Rf. Compensation Test Circuit The inverting input of the error amplifier is brought out to allow overall closed-loop compensation. In many of the applications circuits shown here, compensation is provided by a single capacitor connected from the compensation pin to the out pin of the LM3411. The capacitor values shown in the schematics are adequate under most conditions, but they can be increased or decreased depending on the desired loop response. Applying a load pulse to the output of a regulator circuit and observing the resultant output voltage response is a easy method of determining the stability of the control loop. Analyzing more complex feedback loops requires additional information. The test circuit shown in Figure 2 can be used to measure and verify various LM3411 parameters. Test conditions are set by forcing the appropriate voltage at the VOUT Set test point and selecting the appropriate RL or IOUT as specified in the Electrical Characteristics section. Use a DVM at the “measure” test points to read the data. DS011987-14 FIGURE 2. LM3411 Test Circuit 7 www.national.com LM3411 The formula for AC gain at a frequency (f) is as follows; Product Description LM3411 Applications Information DS011987-15 FIGURE 3. Isolated 250 mA Flyback Switching Regulator DS011987-16 FIGURE 4. Isolated 1.5A Flyback Switching Regulator Using a LM2577 An isolated DC/DC flyback converter capable of higher output current is shown in Figure 4. This circuit utilizes the LM2577 SIMPLE SWITCHER™ voltage regulator for the Pulse Width Modulation (PWM), power switch and protection functions, while the LM3411 provides the voltage reference, gain and opto coupler drive functions. In this circuit, the reference and error amplifier in the LM2577 are not used (note that the feedback pin is grounded). The gain is provided by the LM3411. Since the voltage reference is located on the secondary side of the transformer, this circuit provides very good regulation specifications. The output of a switching regulator typically will contain a small ripple voltage at the switching frequency and may also contain voltage transients. These transient voltage spikes can be sensed by the LM3411 and could give an incorrect regulation voltage. An RC filter consisting of a 1Ω resistor and a 100 nF capacitor will filter these transients and minimize this problem. The 1Ω resistor should be located on the ground side of the LM3411, and the capacitor should be physically located near the package. The LM3411 regulator/driver provides the reference and feedback drive functions in a regulated power supply. It can also be used together with many different types of regulators, (both linear and switching) as well as other power semiconductor devices to add precision and improve regulation specifications. Output voltage tolerances better than 0.5% are possible without using trim pots or precision resistors. One of the main applications of the LM3411 is to drive an opto-isolator to provide feedback signal isolation in a switching regulator circuit. For low current applications, (up to 250 mA) the circuit shown in Figure 3 provides good regulation and complete input/output electrical isolation. For an input voltage of 15V, this circuit can provide an output of either 3.3V or 5V with a load current up to 250 mA with excellent regulation characteristics. With the part values shown, this circuit operates at 80 kHz., and can be synchronized to a clock or an additional LM3578. (See LM1578 data sheet for additional information.) www.national.com 8 LM3411 Applications Information (Continued) DS011987-17 FIGURE 5. Precision 1A Buck Regulator DS011987-18 FIGURE 6. Negative Input, Negative or Positive Output Flyback Regulator provided, with the addition of an opto-isolator and related components, this circuit could provide input/output isolation. Combining a LM3411A-5.0 with a 1A low dropout linear regulator results in a 5V ± 0.5% (1% over the operating temperature range) regulator with excellent regulation specifications, with no trimming or 1% resistors needed. An added benefit of this circuit (and also true of many of the other circuits shown here) is the high-side and low-side remote output voltage sensing feature. Sensing the output voltage at the load eliminates the voltage drops associated with wire resistance, thus providing near perfect load regulation. Improved output voltage tolerance and regulation specifications are possible by combining the LM3411A with one of the SIMPLE SWITCHER buck regulator IC’s, such as the LM2574, LM2575, or LM2576. The circuit shown in Figure 5 can provide a 5V, ± 0.5% Output (1% over the operating temperature range) without using any trim-pots or precision resistors. Typical line regulation numbers are a 1 mV change on the output for a 8V–18V change on the input, and load regulation of 1 mV with a load change from 100 mA–1A. A DC-DC flyback converter that accepts a negative input voltage, and delivers either a positive or negative output is shown in Figure 6. The circuit utilizes a buck regulator (such as the LM2574, LM2575, or LM2576, depending on how much output current is needed) operating in a flyback configuration. The LM3411 provides the reference and the required level shifting circuitry needed to make the circuit work correctly. A 5V, 1A regulator circuit featuring low dropout, very good regulation specifications, self protection features and allows output voltage sensing is shown in Figure 7. The regulator used is a LM2941 adjustable low dropout positive regulator, which also features an ON/OFF pin to provide a shutdown feature. A unique feature of this circuit is the ability to ground either the high or low side of the output, thus generating either a negative or a positive output voltage. Although no isolation is 9 www.national.com LM3411 Applications Information (Continued) DS011987-19 FIGURE 7. Precision 5V 1A Low Dropout Regulator This circuit is capable of excellent performance with both the dropout voltage and the ground pin current specifications improved over the LM2941/LM3411 circuit. The standard LM317 three terminal adjustable regulator circuit can greatly benefit by adding a LM3411. Performance is increased and features are added. The circuit shown in Figure 9 provides much improved line and load regulation, lower temperature drift, and full remote output voltage sensing on both the high and low side. In addition, a precise current limit or constant current feature is simple to add. Current limit protection in most IC regulators is mainly to protect the IC from gross over-current conditions which could otherwise fuse bonding wires or blow IC metalization, therefore not much precision is needed for the actual current limit values. Current limit tolerances can sometimes vary from ± 10% to as high as +300% over manufacturing and temperature variations. Often critical circuitry requires a much tighter control over the amount of current the power supply can deliver. For example, a power supply may be needed that can deliver 100% of its design current, but can still limit the maximum current to 110% to protect critical circuitry from high current fault conditions. The circuit in Figure 9 can provide a current limit accuracy that is better than ± 4%, over all possible variations, in addition to having excellent line, load and temperature specifications. DS011987-20 FIGURE 8. 3.3V 0.5A Low Dropout Regulator The circuit in Figure 8 shows a 3.3V low dropout regulator using the LM3411-3.3 and several discrete components. DS011987-21 FIGURE 9. Precision Positive Voltage Regulator with Accurate Current Limit resistors to the circuit in Figure 10 adds the precision current limit feature as shown in Figure 11. Current limit tolerances of ± 4% over manufacturing and temperature variations are possible with this circuit. Like the positive regulators, the performance of negative adjustable regulators can also be improved by adding the LM3411. Output voltages of either 3.3V or 5V at currents up to 1.5A (3A when using a LM333) are possible.

The circuit shown in Figure 14 is a shunt regulator capable of providing excellent regulation over a very wide range of current. FIGURE 10. Precision Negative Voltage Regulator DS011987-23 FIGURE 11. Precision Negative Voltage Regulator with Accurate Current Limit A simple 5V supply monitor circuit is shown in Figure 12. Using the LM3411’s voltage reference, op-amp (as a comparator) and output driver, this circuit provides a LED indication of the presence of the 5V supply. DS011987-26 FIGURE 14. 250 mA Shunt Regulator Perhaps one of the simplest applications for the LM3411 is the voltage detector circuit shown in Figure 15 . The OUT pin is low when the input voltage is less than VREG. When the V(IN) pin rises above VREG, the OUT pin is pulled high by the internal NPN output resistor. DS011987-24 DS011987-27 FIGURE 12. 4.7V Power ON Detector with Hysteresis FIGURE 15. Voltage Detector The LM3411 initial room temperature tolerance is ± 1% and ± 0.5% for the “A” grade part. If a tighter tolerance is needed, a trim scheme is shown in Figure 13 that provides approximately ± 1% adjustment range of the regulation voltage (VREG). Also an overvoltage detector, the crowbar circuit shown in Figure 16 is normally located at the output of a power supply to protect the load from an overvoltage condition should the power supply fail with an input/output short. 11 www.national.com LM3411 Applications Information (Continued) DS011987-28 FIGURE 16.
