Additional information on lead temperature can be obtained from National Semiconductor web pages http://www.national.com/packaging/general.html http://www.national.com/packaging/plastic.html Note 4: The Maximum power dissipation of the device is dependant on the maximum allowable junction temperature for the device and the ambient temperature. This relationship is given by the formula PD = (TJ - TA)/θJA Where TJ is the junction temperature, TA is the ambient temperature, and θJA is the junction-to-ambient thermal resistance. The Maximum Power dissipation across the device related to the operational conditions can be calculated using the formula PD = (VIN(MAX) - VOUT(MAX)) * (IOUT(MAX)) Substituting the device values gives the max power dissipation = (5.2V - 1.5V)(0.03) = 0.111W. This figure for Maximum power dissipation can be used to derive the maximum ambient temperature. For the SOT23-5 package θJA = 220˚C/W, thus for this device the maximum temperature difference, (TJ - TA), is 24.4˚C, (0.111 * 220). This gives the maximum ambient temperature for operation as 100.6˚C, (125 - 24.4). Similarly the numbers for the absolute maximum case can be derived using a figure of 150˚C for the junction temperature. Note 5: The human body is 100pF discharge through 1.5kW resistor into each pin. The machine model is a 200 pF capacitor discharged directly into each pin.

Unless otherwise specified, CIN = COUT = 1.0 µF Ceramic, VIN LP3992 capacitors are the smallest, least expensive and have the lowest ESR values, thus making them best for eliminating high frequency noise. The ESR of a typical 1µF ceramic capacitor is in the range of 20mΩ to 40mΩ, which easily meets the ESR requirement for stability for the LP3992. Application Hints EXTERNAL CAPACITORS In common with most regulators, the LP3992 requires external capacitors for regulator stability. The LP3992 is specifically designed for portable applications requiring minimum board space and smallest components. These capacitors must be correctly selected for good performance. The temperature performance of ceramic capacitors varies by type. Most large value ceramic capacitors ( ≥ 2.2µF) are manufactured with Z5U or Y5V temperature characteristics, which results in the capacitance dropping by more than 50% as the temperature goes from 25˚C to 85˚C. INPUT CAPACITOR An input capacitor is required for stability. It is recommended that a 1.0µF capacitor be connected between the LP3992 input pin and ground (this capacitance value may be increased without limit). This capacitor must be located a distance of not more than 1cm from the input pin and returned to a clean analogue ground. Any good quality ceramic, tantalum, or film capacitor may be used at the input. A better choice for temperature coefficient in a ceramic capacitor is X7R. This type of capacitor is the most stable and holds the capacitance within ± 15% over the temperature range. Tantalum capacitors are less desirable than ceramic for use as output capacitors because they are more expensive when comparing equivalent capacitance and voltage ratings in the 1µF to 4.7µF range. Another important consideration is that tantalum capacitors have higher ESR values than equivalent size ceramics. This means that while it may be possible to find a tantalum capacitor with an ESR value within the stable range, it would have to be larger in capacitance (which means bigger and more costly) than a ceramic capacitor with the same ESR value. It should also be noted that the ESR of a typical tantalum will increase about 2:1 as the temperature goes from 25˚C down to -40˚C, so some guard band must be allowed. Important: Tantalum capacitors can suffer catastrophic failures due to surge current when connected to a lowimpedance source of power (like a battery or a very large capacitor). If a tantalum capacitor is used at the input, it must be guaranteed by the manufacturer to have a surge current rating sufficient for the application. There are no requirements for the ESR (Equivalent Series Resistance) on the input capacitor, but tolerance and temperature coefficient must be considered when selecting the capacitor to ensure the capacitance will remain ) 1.0µF over the entire operating temperature range. SHUTDOWN AND ENABLE The LP3992 features an active low shutdown pin, VSD, which turns the device off when pulled low. The device output is enabled when the shutdown pin is pulled high. In the shutdown mode the regulator output is off and the device typically consumes 3nA. If the application does not require the shutdown feature, the VSD pin should be tied to VIN to keep the regulator output permanently on. To ensure proper operation, the signal source used to drive the VSD input must be able to swing above and below the specified turn-on/off voltage thresholds listed in the Electrical Characteristics section under VIL and VIH. OUTPUT CAPACITOR The LP3992 is designed specifically to work with very small ceramic output capacitors. A 1.0µF ceramic capacitor (dielectric types Z5U, Y5V or X7R) with ESR between 5mΩ to 500mΩ, is suitable in the LP3992 application circuit. For this device the output capacitor should be connected between the COUT pin and ground. It is also possible to connect the output capacitor directly to the VOUT pin. In this case COUT should be left open-circuit or tied directly to VOUT. It may also be possible to use tantalum or film capacitors at the device output, COUT (or VOUT), but these are not as attractive for reasons of size and cost (see the section Capacitor Characteristics). The output capacitor must meet the requirement for the minimum value of capacitance and also have an ESR value that is within the range 5mΩ to 500mΩ for stability. FAST TURN ON AND OFF The controlled shutdown feature of the device provides a fast turn off by discharging the output capacitor via an internal FET device. This discharge is current limited by the RDSON of this switch. Fast turn-on is guaranteed by control circuitry within the reference block allowing a very fast ramp of the output voltage to reach the target voltage. NO-LOAD STABILITY The LP3992 will remain stable and in regulation with no external load. This is an important consideration in some circuits, for example CMOS RAM keep-alive applications. CAPACITOR CHARACTERISTICS The LP3992 is designed to work with ceramic capacitors on the output to take advantage of the benefits they offer.
