These devices are short-circuit protected, and offer thermal shutdown to turn off the regulator when the junction temperature exceeds about 150°C. The FAN1587A series provides low dropout voltage and fast transient response. Frequency compensation uses capacitors with low ESR while still maintaining stability. This is critical in addressing the needs of low voltage high speed microprocessor buses like GTL+. D1 1N4002 (OPTIONAL) FAN1587A VIN IN + C1 10µF OUT ADJ + R1 VOUT C2 22µF + CADJ R2 Stability The FAN1587A series require an output capacitor as a part of the frequency compensation. It is recommended to use a 22µF solid tantalum or a 100µF aluminum electrolytic on the output to ensure stability. The frequency compensation of these devices optimizes the frequency response with low ESR capacitors. It is recommended to use bypass capacitors such as a 22µF tantalum or a 100µF aluminum on the adjust pin of the FAN1587A for low ripple and fast transient response. When these bypassing capacitors are not used at the adjust pin, larger values of output capacitors provide equally good results. D1 1N4002 (OPTIONAL) FAN1587A-1.5, -3.3 VIN C1 10µF + IN OUT GND + VOUT C2 22µF 65-1587-13 Figure 11. Optional Protection Protection Diodes In normal operation, the FAN1587A series does not require any protection diodes. For the FAN1587A, internal resistors limit internal current paths on the adjust pin. Therefore, even with bypass capacitors on the adjust pin, no protection diode is needed to ensure device safety under shortcircuit conditions. A protection diode between the input and output pins is usually not needed. An internal diode between the input and output pins on the FAN1587A series can handle microsecond surge currents of 50A to 100A. Even with large value output capacitors it is difficult to obtain those values of surge currents in normal operation. Only with large values of output capacitance, such as 1000µF to 5000µF, and with the input pin instantaneously shorted to ground can damage occur. A crowbar circuit at the input can generate those levels of current; a diode from output to input is then recommended, as shown in Figure 11. Usually, normal power supply cycling or system “hot plugging and unplugging” will not generate current large enough to do any damage. The adjust pin can be driven on a transient basis ±7V with respect to the output, without any device degradation. As with any IC regulator, exceeding the maximum input-tooutput voltage differential causes the internal transistors to break down and none of the protection circuitry is then functional. REV. 1.0.0 10/13/00 Ripple Rejection In applications that require improved ripple rejection, a bypass capacitor from the adjust pin of the FAN1587A to ground reduces the output ripple by the ratio of VOUT/1.25V. The impedance of the adjust pin capacitor at the ripple frequency should be less than the value of R1 (typically in the range of 100Ω to 120Ω) in the feedback divider network in Figure 11. Therefore, the value of the required adjust pin capacitor is a function of the input ripple frequency. For example, if R1 equals 100Ω and the ripple frequency equals 120Hz, the adjust pin capacitor should be 22µF. At 10kHz, only 0.22µF is needed. Output Voltage The FAN1587A regulator develops a 1.25V reference voltage between the output pin and the adjust pin (see Figure 12). Placing a resistor R1 between these two terminals causes a constant current to flow through R1 and down through R2 to set the overall output voltage. Normally, this current is the specified minimum load current of 10mA. The current out of the adjust pin adds to the current from R1 and is typically 35µA. Its output voltage contribution is small and only needs consideration when very precise output voltage setting is required. 7 FAN1587A PRODUCT SPECIFICATION FAN1587A VIN + OUT IN C1 10µF ADJ + VREF IADJ 35µA R1 FAN1587A VOUT C2 22µF VIN IN OUT ADJ R1* R2 RL VOUT = VREF (1 + R2/R1) + IADJ (R2) 65-1587-14 * CONNECT R1 TO CASE CONNECT R2 TO LOAD Figure 12. Basic Regulator Circuit Load Regulation For fixed voltage devices, negative side sensing is a true Kelvin connection with the ground pin of the device returned to the negative side of the load. This is illustrated in Figure 13. VIN R2* 65-1587-15 It is not possible to provide true remote load sensing because the FAN1587A series are three-terminal devices. Load regulation is limited by the resistance of the wire connecting the regulators to the load. Load regulation per the data sheet specification is measured at the bottom of the package.

Connection for Best Load Regulation Thermal Considerations The FAN1587A series protect themselves under overload conditions with internal power and thermal limiting circuitry. However, for normal continuous load conditions, do not exceed maximum junction temperature ratings. It is important to consider all sources of thermal resistance from junction-to-ambient. These sources include the junction-to-case resistance, the case-to-heat sink interface resistance, and the heat sink resistance. Thermal resistance specifications have been developed to more accurately reflect device temperature and ensure safe operating temperatures. For example, look at using an FAN1587AT to generate 3A @ 1.5V ± 2% from a 3.3V source (3.2V to 3.6V). Assumptions: 65-1587-17 Figure 13. Connection for Best Load Regulation For adjustable voltage devices, negative side sensing is a true Kelvin connection with the bottom of the output divider returned to the negative side of the load. The best load regulation is obtained when the top of resistor divider R1 connects directly to the regulator output and not to the load. Figure 14 illustrates this point. • • • • • VIN = 3.6V worst case VOUT = 1.46V worst case IOUT = 3A continuous TA = 70°C θCase-to-Ambient = 3°C/W (assuming both a heatsink and a thermally conductive material) The power dissipation in this application is: PD = (VIN – VOUT) * (IOUT) = (3.6 – 1.46) * (3) = 6.42W If R1 connects to the load, then the effective resistance between the regulator and the load would be: From the specification table: RP × (1 + R2/R1), RP = Parasitic Line Resistance TJ = TA + (PD) * (θCase-to-Ambient + θJC) = 70 + (6.42) * (3 + 3) = 109°C The connection shown in Figure 14 does not multiply RP by the divider ratio. As an example, RP is about four milliohms per foot with 16-gauge wire. This translates to 4mV per foot at 1A load current. At higher load currents, this drop represents a significant percentage of the overall regulation. It is important to keep the positive lead between the regulator and the load as short as possible and to use large wire or PC board traces. 8 The junction temperature is below the maximum rating. REV. 1.0.0 10/13/00 FAN1587A PRODUCT SPECIFICATION Junction-to-case thermal resistance is specified from the IC junction to the bottom of the case directly below the die. This is the lowest resistance path for heat flow. Proper mounting ensures the best thermal flow from this area of the package to the heat sink. Use of a thermally conductive material at the case-to-heat sink interface is recommended. Use a thermally conductive spacer if the case of the device must be electrically isolated and include its contribution to the total thermal resistance. The cases of the FAN1587A series are directly connected to the output of the device. U1 FAN1587A VIN 12V C1 10µF + ADJ + C2 100µF VOUT 9V VOUT VIN R1 124Ω + C3 100µF R2 768Ω 65-1587-18 Figure 15.
