A minimum of 10mF 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 V OUT in order for the device to regulate properly.

APPLICATION INFORMATION Introduction The IRU1117 adjustable Low Dropout (LDO) regulator is a three-terminal device which can easily be programmed with the addition of two external resistors to any voltages within the range of 1.25 to 5.5V. This regulator only needs 1.3V differential to maintain output regulation. Unlike the first generation of the three-terminal regulators such as LM117 that required 3V differential between the input and the regulated output. The IRU1117 is specifically designed to meet the fast current transient needs as well as providing an accurate Rev. 1.8 02/04/03 initial voltage, reducing the overall system cost with the need for fewer output capacitors. 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 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. www.irf.com 3 IRU1117 Output Voltage Setting The IRU1117 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 = VREF3 1+ R2 R1 ) +I 3R2 ADJ Where: VREF = 1.25V Typically IADJ = 50mA Typically R1 and R2 as shown in Figure 3: to the load side, the effective resistance between the regulator and the load is multiplied by the factor of (1+R2/ R1), or the effective resistance will be RP(eff) =RP3(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. PARASITIC LINE RESISTANCE RP VIN VIN VOUT IRU1117 VI N V IN VO U T V OUT Adj IRU1117 Adj V REF IADJ = 50uA RL R1 R2 R1 R2 Figure 4 - Schematic showing connection for best load regulation. Figure 3 - Typical application of the IRU1117 for programming the output voltage. The IRU1117 keeps a constant 1.25V between the output pin and the adjust pin. 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)3R2 + IADJ3R2 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 IRU1117 is 10mA, R1 is typically selected to be 121V resistor so that it automatically satisfies the minimum current requirement. Notice that since IADJ is typically in the range of 50mA 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=121V and R2=200V the error due to IADJ is only 0.3% of the nominal set point. Load Regulation Since the IRU1117 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 regulator and not to the load. In fact, if R1 is connected 4 Stability The IRU1117 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 100mV and an output capacitance of 500 to 1000mF. Fortunately as the capacitance increases, the ESR decreases resulting in a fixed RC time constant. The IRU1117 takes advantage of this phenomenon in making the overall regulator loop stable. For most applications a minimum of 100mF 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 IRU1117 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 1508C, it is recommended that the heat sink be selected 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 selecting the proper regulator in a surface-mount package. (See IRU1015 for non-surface-mount packages) www.irf.com Rev. 1.8 02/04/03 IRU1117 Assuming the following specifications: To set the output DC voltage, we need to select R1 and R2: VIN = 5V VF = 0.5V VOUT = 2.85V IOUT(MAX) = 0.8A TA = 358C 4) Assuming R1 = 121V, 1%: -1 3121 = 154.8V ( VV -1)3R1 =( 2.85 1.25 ) R2 = Where: VF is the forward voltage drop of the D1 diode as shown in Figure 5. +5V is significantly more than required to maintain dropout voltage across the IRU1117 when regulating VOUT to 2.85V. The "Extra" voltage means additional power is dissapated in the IRU1117. The diode dissapates some of this additional power, allowing the IRU1117 to run cooler. The steps for selecting the right package with proper board area for heat sinking to keep the junction temperature below 1358C is given as: OUT REF Select R2 = 154V, 1% 5) Calculate the power dissapation for the schottky diode (D1): PD = VF 3 IOUT PD = 0.5 3 0.8 = 0.4W and select a suitable component.

Figure 5 - Final Schematic for half of the GTL+ termination regulator. Layout Consideration The output capacitors must be located as close to the V OUT terminal of the device as possible. It is recommended to use a section of a layer of the PC board as a plane to connect the V OUT pin to the output capacitors to prevent any high frequency oscillation that may result due to excessive trace inductance.
