HSOP8 Description The L6933H1.2 ultra low drop output linear regulator operates from 2 V to 14 V and is able to support output current up to 2 A. Designed with an internal 50 mΩ N-channel MOSFET, it can be used for on board DC-DC conversions saving in real estate, list of components, low noise generation and power dissipation. L6933H1.2 is available as adjustable version from 1.2 V to 5 V with a voltage regulation accuracy of 1 %. A Soft Start function allows the device to smoothly increase the Output Voltage at the start-up, avoiding overshoot. Inhibit function is provided. The upper current limit is fixed at 2.5 A to control the current in short circuit condition within ± 8 %. The current is sensed in the power MOS in order to limit the power dissipation. The device is also provided with a thermal shut down that limits the internal temperature at 150 °C with a histeresys of 20 °C. Typical operating circuit Table 1.

Pin description Pin N° Name Description SS/INH 1 The soft-start time is programmed connecting an external capacitor from this pin and GND. The internal current generator forces a current of 5 µA through the capacitor. In steady state regulation, the voltage at this pin will be about 8 V. This pin is also used to inhibit the device: when the voltage at this pin is lower than the 0.5 V, the device is disabled. VIN 2 Supply voltage. This pin is connected to the drain of the internal N-mos. Connect this pin to a capacitor larger than 10 µF. ADJ 3 Connecting this pin to a voltage divider it is possible to program the output voltage between 1.2 V and 5 V. VOUT 4 Regulated output voltage. This pin is connected to the source of the internal Nmos. Connect this pin to a capacitor of 10 µF. PGOOD 5 Power good output. The pin is open drain and detects the output voltage. It is forced low if the output voltage is lower than 90 % the programmed voltage.

Quiescent current vs junction temperature Soft-Start When Vin is above the turn-on threshold, the device implements the Soft-Start phase: a 5 µA current is sourced from the SS pin charging the external capacitor. The voltage across SS capacitor increases until it reaches about 8 V. The output voltage is in regulation when the SS voltage exceeds VOUT + 1 V. The SS time results: C SS • ( V OUT + 1 ) T SS = --------------------------------------------I SS If VIN is below the turn-on threshold, the SS pin is kept shorted to GND. The SS pin can also be used as ENABLE by shorting the pin to GND through an external switch: when the voltage at this pin is lower than 0.5 V, the device is disabled. 6/12 L6933H1.2 Application information 7 Application information 7.1 Application circuit Figure 6.

Usually a 47 µF is enough for any application but a much lower value can be sufficient in many cases. 8.2 Output capacitor The output capacitor choice depends basically on the load transient requirements. Tantalum, Special Polymer, POSCAP and aluminum capacitors are good and offer very low ESR values. Multilayer ceramic caps have the lowest ESR and can be used for particular applications without affecting the loop stability. Below a list of some suggested capacitor manufacturers Table 7.
