These regulators are protected against over-current conditions and include thermal shutdown protection. The GM6605 has a composite PNP-NPN output transistor and require an output capacitor for stability. A detailed procedure for selecting this capacitor is as below: Stability Considerations The output compensation capacitor helps to determine three main characteristics of a linear regulator's performance: start-up delay, load transient response, and loop stability. The capacitor value and type is based on cost, availability, size, and temperature constraints. A tantalum or aluminum electrolytic capacitor is preferred, as a film or ceramic capacitor with almost zero ESR can cause instability. An aluminum electrolytic capacitor is the least expensive type. But when the circuit operates at low temperatures, both the value and ESR of the capacitor will vary widely. For optimum performance over the full operating temperature range, a tantalum capacitor is the best. A 22µF tantalum capacitor will work fine in most applications. But with high current regulators, such as GM6605 higher capacitance values will improve the transient response and stability. Most applications for Gm6605 involve large changes in load current, so the output capacitor must supply instantaneous load current. The ESR of the output capacitor causes an immediate drop in output voltage given by: V = I x ESR In microprocessor applications an output capacitor network of several tantalum and ceramic capacitors in parallel is commonly used. This reduces overall ESR and minimizes the instantaneous output voltage drop under transient load conditions. The output capacitor network should be placed as close to the load as possible for the best results. Protection Diodes When large external capacitors are used with most linear regulators, it is wise to add protection diodes. If the input voltage of the regulator is shorted, the output capacitor will discharge into the output of the regulator. The discharge current depends on the value of capacitor, output voltage, and rate at which VIN drops. 1N4002 1N4002 VOUT VIN VIN VOUT GM6605-Adj GM6605-3.3 C1 C2 GND C1 R1 ADJ CADJ (a) Fixed version C2 R2 (b) Adjustable version For GM6605, the discharge path is through a large junction, and protection diodes are normally not needed. However, if the regulator is used with large output capacitance values and the input voltage is instantaneously shorted to ground, damage can occur. In this case, a diode connected as shown above in Figure 1 is recommended. GM6605V2.04 Figure 1. Protection Diode Scheme for large Output Capacitors 7 GM6605 5.0A LOW DROPOUT PRECISION REGULATOR Output Voltage Sensing GM6605 series is a three-terminal regulator, so it cannot provide true remote load sensing. Load regulation is limited by the resistance of the conductors connecting the regulator to the load. For best results, GM6605 should be connected as shown 1n F1gure 2.

Conductor parasitic resistance effects are minimized by this grounding scheme. Calculating Power Dissipation and Heat Sink Requirements GM6605 series include thermal shutdown and current limit circuitry to protect the devices. However, high power regulators normally operate at high junction temperatures so it is important to calculate the power dissipation and junction temperatures accurately to be sure to use an adequate heat sink. The case is connected to VOUT on GM6605, so electrical isolation may be required for some applicat1ons. Thermal compound should always be used with high current regulators like GM6605. The thermal characteristics of an IC depend on four factors: 1. 2. 3. 4. Maximum Ambient Temperature TA (°C) Power Dissipation PD (Watts) Maximum Junction Temperature TJ (°C) Thermal Resistance Junction to amb1ent θJA The relationship of these four factors is expressed by equation (1): TJ = TA + PD x θJA Maximum ambient temperature and power dissipation are determ1ned by the design while the maximum junction temperature and thermal resistance depend on the manufacturer and the package type. The maximum power dissipation for a regulator is expressed by equation (2): PD(MAX) = (VIN(MAX) – VOUT(MIN) ) x IOUT(MIN) + VIN(MIN) x IQ where: VIN(MAX) is the maximum input voltage, VOUT(MIN) is the minimum output voltage, IOUT(MAX) is the maximum output current IQ is the max1mum quiescent current at IOUT(MAX). GM6605V2.04 A heat sink effect1vely increases the surface area of the package to improve the flow of heat away from the IC into the air. Each material in the heat flow path between the IC and the environment has a thermal resistance. Like series electrical resistances, these resistance are summed to determine θJA, the total thermal resistance between the junction and the air. This is expressed by equation (3): 8 θJA = θJC + θCS + θSA where: θJC is the thermal resistance of Junction to Case, θCS is the thermal resistance of Case to Heat Sink, θSA is the thermal resistance of Heat Sink to Ambient air. The value for θJA is calculated using equation (3) and the result can be substituted in equation (1). The value for θCS is 3.5°C/W for a given package typed based on an average d1ie size. For a high current regulator such as GM6605, the majority of the heat is generated in the power transistor sect1on.
