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: All Voltages are with respect to the potential at the GND pin. Note 3: For further information on these packages please refer to the following application notes,AN-1112 Micro SMD Wafer Level Chip Scale Package. Note 4: Internal thermal shutdown circuitry protects the device from permanent damage. Note 5: The human body model is 100pF discharged through a 1.5kΩ resistor into each pin. The machine model is a 200pF capacitor discharged directly into each pin. Note 6: The maximum ambient temperature (TA(max)) is dependant on the maximum operating junction temperature (TJ(max-op) = 125°C), the maximum power dissipation of the device in the application (PD(max)), and the junction to ambient thermal resistance of the part / package in the application (θJA), as given by the following equation: TA(max) = TJ(max-op) - (θJA × PD(max)). Note 7: Junction to ambient thermal resistance is dependant on the application and board layout. In applications where high maximum power dissipation is possible, special care must be paid to thermal dissipation issues in board design. Note 8: Full details can be found in JESD61-7 Note 9: All limits are guaranteed. All electrical characteristics having room-temperature limits are tested during production at TJ = 25°C or correlated using Statistical Quality Control methods. Operation over the temperature specification is guaranteed by correlating the electrical characteristics to process and temperature variations and applying statistical process control.

The LP8900 is specifically designed for portable applications requiring minimum board space and smallest components. These capacitors must be correctly selected for good performance. INPUT CAPACITOR An input capacitor is required for stability. It is recommended that a 1.0µF capacitor be connected between the LP8900 input pin and ground (this capacitance value may be increased to 10µF). 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. 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, temperature, and voltage coefficients must be considered when selecting the capacitor to ensure the capacitance will remain ≊ 1.0µF over the entire operating temperature range. 30039340 OUTPUT CAPACITOR Correct selection of the output capacitor is critical to ensure stable operation in the intended application. The output capacitor must meet all the requirements specified in the recommended capacitor table over all conditions in the application. These conditions include DC bias, frequency and temperature. Unstable operation will result if the capacitance drops below the minimum specified value. The LP8900 is designed specifically to work with very small ceramic output capacitors. A 1.0µF ceramic capacitor (dielectric type X7R or X5R) with an ESR between 5mΩ to 500mΩ, is suitable in the LP8900 application circuit. Other ceramic types such as Y5V and Z5U are less suitable owing to their inferior temperature characteristics. (See section on Capacitor Characteristics). It is also recommended that the output capacitor is placed within 1cm of the output pin and returned to a clean, low impedance, ground connection. It is possible to use tantalum or film capacitors at the device output, VOUT, but these are not as attractive for reasons of size and cost (see the section Capacitor Characteristics). FIGURE 1. Effect of DC bias on Capacitance Value. As an example Figure 1 shows a typical graph showing a comparison of capacitor case sizes in a Capacitance vs. DC Bias plot. As shown in the graph, as a result of the DC Bias condition, the capacitance value may drop below the minimum capacitance value given in the recommended capacitor table. Note that the graph shows the capacitance out of spec for the 0402 case size capacitor at higher bias voltages. It is therefore recommended that the capacitor manufacturers' specifications for the nominal value capacitor are consulted for all conditions as some capacitor sizes (e.g. 0402) may not be suitable in the actual application. Ceramic capacitors have the lowest ESR values, thus making them best for eliminating high frequency noise. The ESR of a typical 4.7µF ceramic capacitor is in the range of 20mΩ to 40mΩ, which easily meets the ESR requirement for stability for the LP8900. The temperature performance of ceramic capacitors varies by type. Capacitor type X7R is specified with a tolerance of ±15% over the temperature range -55°C to +125°C. The X5R has a similar tolerance over the reduced temperature range of -55° C to +85°C. Some large value ceramic capacitors (4.7µF) are manufactured with Z5U or Y5V temperature characteristics, which can result in the capacitance dropping by more than 50% as the temperature varies from 25°C to 85°C. Therefore X7R or X5R types are recommended in applications where the temperature will change significantly above or below 25° C. 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 NO-LOAD STABILITY The LP8900 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 LP8900 is designed to work with ceramic capacitors on the input and outputs to take advantage of the benefits they offer. For capacitance values around 1.0µF, ceramic capacitors give the circuit designer the best design options in terms of low cost and minimal area. For both input and output capacitors, careful interpretation of the capacitor specification is required to ensure correct device 9 www.national.com LP8900 operation. The capacitor value can change greatly dependant on the conditions of operation and capacitor type. In particular, to ensure stability, the output capacitor selection should take account of all the capacitor parameters, to ensure that the specification is met within the application. Capacitance value can vary with DC bias conditions as well as temperature and frequency of operation. Capacitor values will also show some decrease over time due to aging. The capacitor parameters are also dependant on the particular case size with smaller sizes giving poorer performance figures in general. Application Information LP8900 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. micro SMD MOUNTING The micro SMD package requires specific mounting techniques which are detailed in the National Semiconductor Application Note (AN-1112). Referring to the section Surface Mount Technology (SMT) Assenbly Considerations, it should be noted that the pad style which must be used with the 6 pin package is NSMD (non-solder mask defined) type. For best results during assembly, alignment ordinals on the PCB may be used to facilitate placement of the micro SMD device. ENABLE CONTROL The LP8900 may be switched ON or OFF by a logic input at the ENABLE pin.A high voltage at this pin will turn the device on. When the enable pin is low, the regulator output is off and the device typically consumes 3nA. However if the application does not require the shutdown feature, the VEN pin can be tied to VIN to keep the regulator permanantly on. To ensure fast start-up is achieved, VEN should be driven separately. A 3MΩ pulldown resister ties the VEN input to ground, this ensures that the device will remain off when the enable pin is left open circuit. To ensure proper operation, the signal source used to drive the VEN 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. www.national.com micro SMD LIGHT SENSITIVITY Exposing the micro SMD device to direct sunlight may cause mis-operation of the device. Light sources such as halogen lamps can affect the electrical performance if brought near to the device. The wavelengths which have most detrimental effect are reds and infra-reds, which means that fluorescent lighting, used inside most buildings will have little effect on performance. 10 LP8900 11 www.national.com LP8900 Physical Dimensions inches (millimeters) unless otherwise noted 6 Bump Thin micro SMD, Large Bump NS Package Number TLA06CZA The Dimensions for X1, X2 and X3 as given as: X1 = 1.057mm ± 0.030mm X2 = 1.463mm ± 0.03mm X3 = 0.60mm ± 0.075mm www.national.com 12 LP8900 Notes 13 www.national.com LP8900 Ultra Low Noise, Dual 200mA Linear Regulator for RF/Analog Circuits Notes For more National Semiconductor product information and proven design tools, visit the following Web sites at: Products Design Support Amplifiers www.national.com/amplifiers WEBENCH® Tools www.national.com/webench Audio www.national.com/audio App Notes www.national.com/appnotes Clock and Timing www.national.com/timing Reference Designs www.national.com/refdesigns Data Converters www.national.com/adc Samples www.national.com/samples Interface www.national.com/interface Eval Boards www.national.com/evalboards LVDS www.national.com/lvds Packaging www.national.com/packaging Power Management www.national.com/power Green Compliance www.national.com/quality/green Switching Regulators www.national.com/switchers Distributors www.national.com/contacts LDOs www.national.com/ldo Quality and Reliability www.national.com/quality LED Lighting www.national.com/led Feedback/Support www.national.com/feedback Voltage Reference www.national.com/vref Design Made Easy www.national.com/easy PowerWise® Solutions www.national.com/powerwise Solutions www.national.com/solutions Serial Digital Interface (SDI) www.national.com/sdi Mil/Aero www.national.com/milaero Temperature Sensors www.national.com/tempsensors SolarMagic™ www.national.com/solarmagic Wireless (PLL/VCO) www.national.com/wireless Analog University® www.national.com/AU THE CONTENTS OF THIS DOCUMENT ARE PROVIDED IN CONNECTION WITH NATIONAL SEMICONDUCTOR CORPORATION (“NATIONAL”) PRODUCTS.
