CS403 CS403 5V, 750mA Linear Regulator with RESET Description The CS403 is a linear regulator specially designed as a post regulator. The CS403 provides low noise, low drift, and high accuracy to improve the performance of a switching power supply. It is ideal for applications requiring a highly efficient and accurate linear regulator. The active RESET makes the device particularly well suited to supply microprocessor based systems. The PNP-NPN output stage Features assures a low dropout voltage without requiring excessive supply current. Its features include low dropout (1V typically) and low supply drain (4mA typical with IOUT = 500mA). The CS403 design optimizes supply rejection by switching the internal reference from the supply input to the regulator output as soon as the nominal output voltage is reached. ■ 5V ±5% Output Voltage ■ Low Drift ■ High Efficiency ■ Short Circuit Protection ■ Active Delayed Reset ■ Noise Immunity on Reset ■ 750mA Output Current Absolute Maximum Ratings Forward Input Voltage ..................................................................................18V Operating Junction Temperature, TJ ..............................................-40 to 150ûC Storage Temperature........................................................................-55 to 150ûC Lead Temperature Soldering Wave Solder (through hole styles only)..........10 sec. max, 260¡C peak Package Options Block Diagram 5 Lead TO-220 Tab (Gnd) V OUT V IN Output Current Limit Start 1.

Reset Voltage (<1.0V) 3 500 CS403 Circuit Description The CS403 RESET function is very precise, has hysteresis on both the RESET and Delay comparators, a latching Delay capacitor discharge circuit, and operates down to 1V. Reset Delay Circuit This circuit provides a programmable (external capacitor) delay on the RESET output lead. The Delay lead provides source current to the external delay capacitor only when the Low Voltage Inhibit circuit indicates that output voltage is above VRT(ON). Otherwise, the Delay lead sinks current to ground (used to discharge the Delay capacitor). The discharge current is latched ON when the output voltage is below VRT(OFF), or when the voltage on the Delay capacitor is above VDIS. In other words, the Delay capacitor is fully discharged any time the output voltage falls out of regulation, even for a short period of time. This feature ensures a controlled RESET pulse is generated following detection of an error condition. The circuit allows the RESET output transistor to go to the OFF (open) state only when the voltage on the Delay lead is higher than VDIS. The RESET circuit output is an open collector type with ON and OFF parameters as specified. The RESET output NPN transistor is controlled by the two circuits described (see Block Diagram). Low Voltage Inhibit Circuit This circuit monitors output voltage, and when output voltage is below the specified minimum, causes the RESET output transistor to be in the ON (saturation) state. When the output voltage is above the specified level, this circuit permits the RESET output transistor to go into the OFF state if allowed by the reset Delay circuit. Test Circuit VOUT VIN C 1* 100nF CS403 C2** COUT =10mF to 100mF RESET Delay Gnd 100nF Cd C1* is required if the regulator is far from the power source filter. C2** is required for stability Application Notes The value for the output capacitor COUT shown in the test and applications circuit should work for most applications, however it is not necessarily the optimized solution. To determine an acceptable value for COUT for a particular application, start with a tantalum capacitor of the recommended value and work towards a less expensive alternative part. Step 1: Place the completed circuit with a tantalum capacitor of the recommended value in an environmental chamber at the lowest specified operating temperature and monitor the outputs with an oscilloscope. A decade box connected in series with the capacitor will simulate the higher ESR of an aluminum capacitor. Leave the decade box outside the chamber, the small resistance added by Stability Considerations The output or compensation capacitor helps determine three main characteristics of a linear regulator: start-up delay, load transient response and loop stability. The capacitor value and type should be based on cost, availability, size and temperature constraints. A tantalum or aluminum electrolytic capacitor is best, since a film or ceramic capacitor with almost zero ESR, can cause instability. The aluminum electrolytic capacitor is the least expensive solution, but, if the circuit operates at low temperatures (-25¡C to -40¡C), both the value and ESR of the capacitor will vary considerably. The capacitor manufacturers data sheet usually provides this information. 4 CS403 Application Notes the longer leads is negligible. Step 2: With the input voltage at its maximum value, increase the load current slowly from zero to full load while observing the output for any oscillations. If no oscillations are observed, the capacitor is large enough to ensure a stable design under steady state conditions. Step 3: Increase the ESR of the capacitor from zero using the decade box and vary the load current until oscillations appear. Record the values of load current and ESR that cause the greatest oscillation. This represents the worst case load conditions for the regulator at low temperature. Step 4: Maintain the worst case load conditions set in step 3 and vary the input voltage until the oscillations increase. This point represents the worst case input voltage conditions. Step 5: If the capacitor is adequate, repeat steps 3 and 4 with the next smaller valued capacitor. A smaller capacitor will usually cost less and occupy less board space. If the output oscillates within the range of expected operating conditions, repeat steps 3 and 4 with the next larger standard capacitor value. Step 6: Test the load transient response by switching in various loads at several frequencies to simulate its real working environment. Vary the ESR to reduce ringing. Step 7: Remove the unit from the environmental chamber and heat the IC with a heat gun. Vary the load current as instructed in step 5 to test for any oscillations. Once the minimum capacitor value with the maximum ESR is found, a safety factor should be added to allow for the tolerance of the capacitor and any variations in regulator performance. Most good quality aluminum electrolytic capacitors have a tolerance of ± 20% so the minimum value found should be increased by at least 50% to allow for this tolerance plus the variation which will occur at low temperatures. The ESR of the capacitor should be less than 50% of the maximum allowable ESR found in step 3 above. sible value of RQJA can be calculated: RQJA = In some cases, none of the packages will be sufficient to dissipate the heat generated by the IC, and an external heatsink will be required. IIN VIN } Smart Regulator } IOUT VOUT Control Features IQ Figure 1: Single output regulator with key performance parameters labeled. Heat Sinks A heat sink effectively increases the surface area of the package to improve the flow of heat away from the IC and into the surrounding air. Each material in the heat flow path between the IC and the outside environment will have a thermal resistance. Like series electrical resistances, these resistances are summed to determine the value of RQJA. RQJA = RQJC + RQCS + RQSA (3) where RQJC = the junctionÐtoÐcase thermal resistance, RQCS = the caseÐtoÐheatsink thermal resistance, and RQSA = the heatsinkÐtoÐambient thermal resistance. RQJC appears in the package section of the data sheet. Like RQJA, it is a function of package type. RQCS and RQSA are functions of the package type, heatsink and the interface between them. These values appear in heat sink data sheets of heat sink manufacturers. The maximum power dissipation for a single output regulator (Figure 1) is: { (2) The value of RQJA can then be compared with those in the package section of the data sheet. Those packages with RQJA's less than the calculated value in equation 2 will keep the die temperature below 150¡C.
