Rev. 1.4 06/29/01 IRU1010 PIN DESCRIPTIONS PIN # PIN SYMBOL PIN DESCRIPTION 1 Adj A resistor divider from this pin to the Vout pin and ground sets the output voltage. 2 Vout The output of the regulator. A minimum of 10µF capacitor must be connected from this pin to ground to insure stability. 3 Vin The input pin of the regulator. Typically a large storage capacitor is connected from this pin to ground to insure that the input voltage does not sag below the minimum dropout voltage during the load transient response. This pin must always be 1.3V higher than Vout in order for the device to regulate properly.

This regulator, unlike the first generation of the three-terminal regulators such as LM117 that required 3V differential between the input and the regulated output, only needs 1.3V differential to maintain output regulation. This is a key requirement for today’s low voltage IC applications that typically need 3.3V supply and are often generated from the 5V supply. Other applications such as high speed Rev. 1.4 06/29/01 memory termination need to switch the load current from zero to full load in tens of nanoseconds at their pins, which translates to an approximately 300 to 500ns current step at the regulator. In addition, the output voltage tolerances are sometimes tight and they include the transient response as part of the specification. The IRU1010 is specifically designed to meet the fast current transient needs as well as providing an accurate initial voltage, reducing the overall system cost with the need for fewer output capacitors. 3 IRU1010 Output Voltage Setting The IRU1010 can be programmed to any voltages in the range of 1.25V to 5.5V with the addition of R1 and R2 external resistors according to the following formula: VOUT = VREF × o1 + R2 p + IADJ × R2 R1 Where: VREF = 1.25V Typically IADJ = 50µA Typically R1 and R2 as shown in figure 3: regulator and not to the load. In fact, if R1 is connected to the load side, the effective resistance between the regulator and the load is gained up by the factor of (1+R2/ R1), or the effective resistance will be, Rp(eff)=Rp*(1+R2/ R1). It is important to note that for high current applications, this can represent a significant percentage of the overall load regulation and one must keep the path from the regulator to the load as short as possible to minimize this effect.

By placing a resistor R1 across these two pins a constant current flows through R1, adding to the Iadj current and into the R2 resistor producing a voltage equal to the (1.25/R1)*R2 + Iadj*R2 which will be added to the 1.25V to set the output voltage. This is summarized in the above equation. Since the minimum load current requirement of the IRU1010 is 10mA, R1 is typically selected to be 121Ω resistor so that it automatically satisfies the minimum current requirement. Notice that since Iadj is typically in the range of 50µA it only adds a small error to the output voltage and should only be considered when a very precise output voltage setting is required. For example, in a typical 3.3V application where R1=121Ω and R2=200Ω the error due to Iadj is only 0.3% of the nominal set point. Load Regulation Since the IRU1010 is only a three-terminal device, it is not possible to provide true remote sensing of the output voltage at the load. Figure 4 shows that the best load regulation is achieved when the bottom side of R2 is connected to the load and the top side of R1 resistor is connected directly to the case or the Vout pin of the 4 Figure 4 - Schematic showing connection for best load regulation Stability The IRU1010 requires the use of an output capacitor as part of the frequency compensation in order to make the regulator stable. Typical designs for microprocessor applications use standard electrolytic capacitors with a typical ESR in the range of 50 to 100mΩ and an output capacitance of 500 to 1000µF. Fortunately as the capacitance increases, the ESR decreases resulting in a fixed RC time constant. The IRU1010 takes advantage of this phenomena in making the overall regulator loop stable. For most applications a minimum of 100µF aluminum electrolytic capacitor such as Sanyo MVGX series, Panasonic FA series as well as the Nichicon PL series insures both stability and good transient response. Thermal Design The IRU1010 incorporates an internal thermal shutdown that protects the device when the junction temperature exceeds the maximum allowable junction temperature. Although this device can operate with junction temperatures in the range of 150!C, it is recommended that the selected heat sink be chosen such that during maximum continuous load operation the junction temperature is kept below this number. The example below for a SCSI terminator application shows the steps in sellect- Rev. 1.4 06/29/01 IRU1010 ing the proper regulator in a surface-mount package. (See IRU1015 for non-surface-mount packages) To set the output DC voltage, we need to select R1 and R2: Assuming the following specifications: 4) Assuming R1 = 121Ω, 1% VIN = 5V VF = 0.5V Vo = 2.85V IOUT(MAX) = 0.8A TA = 35!C Where: VF is the forward voltage drop of the D1diode as shown in Figure 5. The steps for selecting the right package with proper board area for heatsinking to keep the junction temperature below 135!C is given as: 2.85 VOUT o p× R1 =o o p× 121 = 154.8Ω R2 =o -1p - 1p 1.25 VREF Select R2 = 154Ω, 1% D1 5V Vin C1 10uF Adj θJA(MAX) = TJ - TA 135 - 35 = = 75.6!C/W PD 1.32 3) Select a package from the datasheet with lower θJA than the one calculated in the previous step. Selecting TO-252 (D-Pak) with at least 0.5" square of 0.062" FR4 board using 1 oz. copper has 70°C/W which is lower than the calculated number.

It is recommended to use a section of a layer of the PC board as a plane to connect the Vout pin to the output capacitors to prevent any high frequency oscillation that may result due to excessive trace inductance. 5 IRU1010 Notes IR WORLD HEADQUARTERS : 233 Kansas St., El Segundo, California 90245, USA Tel: (310) 252-7105 TAC Fax: (310) 252-7903 Visit us at www.irf.com for sales contact information.
