FUNCTIONAL PIN DESCRIPTION
PIN NAME
DESCRIPTION
VIN
Positive unregulated supply input for the regulator. Bypass to GND with at least 2.2µF capacitance having low
ESR for good transient response.
ADJ
Adjustable Input. The output voltage can be set by two external resistors with the following relationship: V1 = VREF
* (1 + R1 / R2) + IADJ * R1 where R1 is the resistor connected between V1 and ADJ, and R2 is the resistor
connected between ADJ and GND.
GND
Common terminal for ground reference. The input and output bypass capacitors should be connected to this
pin. In addition the tab on the S-Pak package and pin 3 are also used for heat sinking the device.
V2
Fixed regulator output (Regulator #2). It is recommended to bypass to GND with at least 2.2µF. Size your output
capacitor to meet the transient loading requirement. For dynamic loads, a lower ESR capacitor will improve the
response to these load steps.

Description
Temperature Protection
The LX8816 is part of a family of Dual LDO (Low Drop-Out) linear
regulators in Microsemi’s S-PAK power package, which offer
maximum power dissipation in a low profile surface mount
technology. The family includes combination fixed and adjustable
versions. Each channel can supply up to one amp independently with a
regulator design optimized for system efficiency by consuming
minimal ground current and directing quiescent current to the load.
The thermal protection shuts the LX8816 down when the junction
temperature exceeds 1400C. Each output has independent thermal
shutdown capability. Exposure to absolute maximum rated conditions
for extended periods may affect device reliability, see Thermal
Considerations below.
Input Capacitor
To improve load transient response and noise rejection a input bypass
capacitor is of at least 2.2uF is required. Generally we recommend a
20uF ceramic or tantalum or 22uF electrolytic capacitor.
Output Capacitor
The regulator requires output capacitors connected between V1, V2 and
GND to stabilize the internal control loop. Many types of capacitors
are available, with different capacitance values tolerances, temperature
coefficients and equivalent series resistance. We recommend a
minimum of 4.7uF. To ensure good transient response from the power
supply system under rapidly changing current load conditions,
designers generally use additional output capacitors connected in
parallel. Such an arrangement serves to minimize the effects of the
parasitic resistance (ESR) and inductance (ESL) that are present in all
capacitors. The regulator has been tested stable with capacitor ESR’s
in the range of 0.05 to 2 ohms. We have found it best to use the same
type of capacitor for both input and output bypass.
Adjustable Output Voltage
The LX8816 develops a 1.25V reference voltage between the adjust
terminal and GND (See Figure 2). By placing a resistor, R2, between
these two terminals, a constant current is caused to flow through R1
and down through R2 to set the overall output voltage. Because IADJ is
very small and constant when compared with the current through R2, it
represents a small error and can usually be ignored.
VIN
LX8816-04
Thermal Considerations
Thermal shutdown protects the integrated circuit from thermal
overload caused from a rise in junction temperature during power
dissipation. This means of protection is intended for fault protection
only and not as a means of current or power limiting during normal
application usage. Proper thermal evaluation should be done to ensure
that the junction temperature dose not exceed it’s maximum rating.
Operating at the maximum TJ of 150°C can impact reliability . Due to
variation in individual device electrical characteristics and thermal
resistance , the built in thermal overload protection may be activated at
power levels slightly above or below the rated dissipation. Also peak
output power should be considered for each individual output.
Power dissipation for regulator can be calculated using the following
equation:
PD = (VIN(MAX)-V1) * I1 + (VIN(MAX)-V2 ) * I2
(Note: power dissipation resulting from quiescent (ground) current is negligible)
For the S-PAK package, thermal resistance, θTAB-AMB is 25-450C/W
depending on mounting technique when mounted on a FR4 copper
clad PCB. Junction temperature of the integrated circuit can be
calculated using:
TJUNCTION = TJUNCTION-TAB RISE _+ TTAB-AMB RISE + TAMB
TTAB = PD MAX * θJT
V1
An example: Given conditions: TA = 50°C, VIN= 5.0V, V1= 2.5V, I1=
210mA, V2= 3.3V I2= 1A.
;
TTAB-AMB = (PD REG1 + PD REG2) * θPCB
Calculated values:
R1
TJ-TAB REG1
= (5V-2.5V) * (210mA) * 4.5°C/W = (0.525) * 4.5°C/W = 2.4°C
VREF
TJ-TAB REG2
R2
= (5V-3.3V) * (1.0A) * 4.5°C/W = (1.7) * 4.5°C/W = 7.7°C
TTAB-AMB RISE = ( 0.525W + 1.7W ) * 30°C/W = 66.8°C
TJUNCTION = 10.1°C + 66.8°C + 50°C = 126.9°C
FIGURE 2 - BASIC ADJUSTABLE
REGULATOR
Minimum Load Requirement
The LX8816 has a minimum load is requirement for proper output
regulation. This minimum current is specified at 0mA for the fixed
output and 2ma for the adjustable output regulators.
It is important to note that although each output of the regulator will
produce up to 1A in current, the individual or total power dissipation
may limit the useful total current draw. The junction temperature
should be calculated for each individual output as well as the
combined outputs to insure the maximum junction temperature in not
exceeded.

APPLICATION INFORMATION
Heatsink Consideration
The layout must be done with low impedance paths for VIN, V1, V2 and
Ground by using sufficiently wide traces to avoid voltage drops and
noise pick up. The output capacitors must be placed as close as
possible to the voltage regulator output pins. To allow the same
voltage reference for all circuits, use a star configuration from the
output capacitors to the different loads. The input capacitor should be
connected between VIN and ground with short leads. Although it may
not be immediately obvious, best load regulation for the adjustable
output is obtained when the top of the resistor divider, (R1), is
connected as close as possible to the case of the regulator, not to the
load.
The PCB copper can be used as a heatsink for the surface mounted
S-Pak. Using the minimum size as shown in the recommended pad
layout limits the usable power to about 1W for ambient temperature of
50°C. Since most applications require greater than 2W there is the
need to provide additional heat sinking. This can be accomplished by
using additional copper area both on the PCB surface as shown in the
possible heat sink layout below, or to an embedded ground plane.
Since the die pad (copper tab) is in electrical contact with ground, the
designer can use thermal vias on the surface of the PCB taking
advantage of the heat-spreading (Cu) layer of an internal ground plane.
