LP2950-N, LP2951-N www.ti.com SNVS764N – JANUARY 2000 – REVISED MAY 2013 LP2950-N/LP2951-N Series of Adjustable Micropower Voltage Regulators Check for Samples: LP2950-N, LP2951-N FEATURES DESCRIPTION • • • • • • • • • • • The LP2950-N and LP2951-N are micropower voltage regulators with very low quiescent current (75 μA typ.) and very low dropout voltage (typ. 40 mV at light loads and 380 mV at 100 mA). They are ideally suited for use in battery-powered systems. Furthermore, the quiescent current of the LP2950N/LP2951-N increases only slightly in dropout, prolonging battery life. 1 2 5V, 3V, and 3.3V Versions Available High Accuracy Output Voltage Ensured 100 mA Output Current Extremely Low Quiescent Current Low Dropout Voltage Extremely Tight Load and Line Regulation Very Low Temperature Coefficient Use as Regulator or Reference Needs Minimum Capacitance for Stability Current and Thermal Limiting Stable With Low-ESR Output Capacitors (10 mΩ to 6Ω) LP2951-N VERSIONS ONLY • • • Error Flag Warns of Output Dropout Logic-Controlled Electronic Shutdown Output Programmable From 1.24 to 29V The LP2950-N-5.0 is available in the surface-mount PFM package, and in the popular 3-pin TO-92 package for pin-compatibility with older 5V regulators. The 8-lead LP2951-N is available in plastic, ceramic dual-in-line, WSON, or metal can packages and offers additional system functions. One such feature is an error flag output which warns of a low output voltage, often due to falling batteries on the input. It may be used for a power-on reset. A second feature is the logic-compatible shutdown input which enables the regulator to be switched on and off. Also, the part may be pin-strapped for a 5V, 3V, or 3.3V output (depending on the version), or programmed from 1.24V to 29V with an external pair of resistors. Careful design of the LP2950-N/LP2951-N has minimized all contributions to the error budget. This includes a tight initial tolerance (.5% typ.), extremely good load and line regulation (.05% typ.) and a very low output voltage temperature coefficient, making the part useful as a low-power voltage reference.

Junction-to-case thermal resistance for the PFM package is 5.4°C/W. The value of θJA for the WSON package is typically 51°C/W but is dependent on the PCB trace area, trace material, and the number of layers and thermal vias.

In the LP2951 products, the 3.0V and 3.3V versions are designated by the last two digits, but the 5V version is denoted with no code at this location of the part number (refer to ordering information table). Output or reference voltage temperature coefficient is defined as the worst case voltage change divided by the total temperature range. Regulation is measured at constant junction temperature, using pulse testing with a low duty cycle. Changes in output voltage due to heating effects are covered under the specification for thermal regulation. Line regulation for the LP2951-N is tested at 150°C for IL = 1mA.

At lower output voltages, more capacitance is required (2.2 μF or more is recommended for 3.0V and 3.3V versions). Without this capacitor the part will oscillate. Most types of tantalum or aluminum electrolytic work fine here; even film types work but are not recommended for reasons of cost. Many aluminum electrolytics have electrolytes that freeze at about −30°C, so solid tantalums are recommended for operation below −25°C. The important parameters of the capacitor are an ESR of about 5Ω or less and a resonant frequency above 500 kHz. The value of this capacitor may be increased without limit. Figure 44. Output Capacitor ESR Range The reason for the lower ESR limit is that the loop compensation of the feedback loop relies on the capacitance value and the ESR value of the output capacitor to provide the zero that gives added phase lead (See Figure 44). fZ = (1 / (2 x π x COUT x ESR) ) (1) Using the 2.2 µF value from the Output Capacitor ESR Range curve (Figure 44), a useful range for fZ can be estimated: fZ(MIN)= (1 / (2 x π x 2.2 µF x 5Ω) ) = 14.5 kHz fZ(MAX)= (1 / (2 x π x 2.2 µF x 0.05Ω) ) = 318 kHz (2) (3) For ceramic capacitors, the low ESR produces a zero at a frequency that is too high to be useful, so meaningful phase lead does not occur. A ceramic output capacitor can be used if a series resistance is added (recommended value of resistance about 0.1Ω to 2Ω) to simulate the needed ESR. Only X5R, X7R, or better, MLCC types should be used, and should have a DC voltage rating at least twice the VOUT(NOM) value. At lower values of output current, less output capacitance is required for stability. The capacitor can be reduced to 0.33 μF for currents below 10 mA or 0.1 μF for currents below 1 mA. Using the adjustable versions at voltages below 5V runs the error amplifier at lower gains so that more output capacitance is needed. For the worst-case situation of a 100 mA load at 1.23V output (Output shorted to Feedback) a 3.3 μF (or greater) capacitor should be used. Unlike many other regulators, the LP2950-N will remain stable and in regulation with no load in addition to the internal voltage divider. This is especially important in CMOS RAM keep-alive applications. When setting the output voltage of the LP2951-N versions with external resistors, a minimum load of 1 μA is recommended. Applications having conditions that may drive the LP2950-N/51 into nonlinear operation require special consideration. Nonlinear operation will occur when the output voltage is held low enough to force the output stage into output current limiting while trying to pull the output voltage up to the regulated value. The internal loop response time will control how long it takes for the device to regain linear operation when the output has returned to the normal operating range. There are three significant nonlinear conditions that need to be considered, all can force the output stage into output current limiting mode, all can cause the output voltage to over-shoot with low Copyright © 2000–2013, Texas Instruments Incorporated Product Folder Links: LP2950-N LP2951-N Submit Documentation Feedback 13 LP2950-N, LP2951-N SNVS764N – JANUARY 2000 – REVISED MAY 2013 www.ti.com value output capacitors when the condition is removed, and the recommended generic solution is to set the output capacitor to a value not less than 10 μF. Although the 10 μF value for COUT may not eliminate the output voltage over-shoot in all cases, it should lower it to acceptable levels (<10% of VOUT(NOM)) in the majority of cases. In all three of these conditions, applications with lighter load currents are more susceptible to output voltage over-shoot than applications with higher load currents. 1) At power-up, with the input voltage rising faster than output stage can charge the output capacitor.

LP2951-N Enable Transient Input Capacitor Requirements A minimum 1 μF tantalum, ceramic or aluminum electrolytic capacitor should be placed from the LP2950N/LP2951-N input pin to ground if there is more than 10 inches of wire between the input and the AC filter capacitor or if a battery is used as the input. Error Detection Comparator Output The comparator produces a logic low output whenever the LP2951-N output falls out of regulation by more than approximately 5%. This figure is the comparator's built-in offset of about 60mV divided by the 1.235 reference voltage. (Refer to the block diagram in the front of the datasheet.) This trip level remains “5% below normal” regardless of the programmed output voltage of the 2951. For example, the error flag trip level is typically 4.75V for a 5V output or 11.4V for a 12V output. The out of regulation condition may be due either to low input voltage, current limiting, or thermal limiting. Figure 46 below gives a timing diagram depicting the ERROR signal and the regulated output voltage as the LP2951-N input is ramped up and down. For 5V versions, the ERROR signal becomes valid (low) at about 1.3V input. It goes high at about 5V input (the input voltage at which VOUT = 4.75V). Since the LP2951-N's dropout voltage is load-dependent (see curve in typical performance characteristics), the input voltage trip point (about 5V) will vary with the load current. The output voltage trip point (approx. 4.75V) does not vary with load. The error comparator has an open-collector output which requires an external pull up resistor. This resistor may be returned to the output or some other supply voltage depending on system requirements. In determining a value for this resistor, note that while the output is rated to sink 400 μA, this sink current adds to battery drain in a low battery condition. Suggested values range from 100k to 1 MΩ. The resistor is not required if this output is unused. 14 Submit Documentation Feedback Copyright © 2000–2013, Texas Instruments Incorporated Product Folder Links: LP2950-N LP2951-N LP2950-N, LP2951-N www.ti.com SNVS764N – JANUARY 2000 – REVISED MAY 2013 *When VIN ≤ 1.3V, the error flag pin becomes a high impedance, and the error flag voltage rises to its pull-up voltage. Using VOUT as the pull-up voltage (see Figure 47), rather than an external 5V source, will keep the error flag voltage under 1.2V (typ.) in this condition. The user may wish to divide down the error flag voltage using equal-value resistors (10 kΩ suggested), to ensure a low-level logic signal during any fault condition, while still allowing a valid high logic level during normal operation. Figure 46. ERROR Output Timing Programming the Output Voltage (LP2951-N) The LP2951-N may be pin-strapped for the nominal fixed output voltage using its internal voltage divider by tying the output and sense pins together, and also tying the feedback and VTAP pins together. Alternatively, it may be programmed for any output voltage between its 1.235V reference and its 30V maximum rating. As seen in Figure 47, an external pair of resistors is required. The complete equation for the output voltage is where • VREF is the nominal 1.235V reference voltage and IFB is the feedback pin bias current, nominally -20nA (7) The minimum recommended load current of 1 μA forces an upper limit of 1.2 MΩ on the value of R2, if the regulator must work with no load (a condition often found in CMOS in standby). IFB will produce a 2% typical error in VOUT which may be eliminated at room temperature by trimming R1. For better accuracy, choosing R2 = 100 kΩ reduces this error to 0.17% while increasing the resistor program current to 12 μA. Since the LP2951-N typically draws 60 μA at no load with Pin 2 open-circuited, this is a small price to pay. *See Application Hints **Drive with TTL-high to shut down. Ground or leave open if shutdown feature is not to be used. Note: Pins 2 and 6 are left open. Figure 47.

This may especially be a problem when using high value external resistors to set the output voltage. Adding a 100 pF capacitor between the Output pin and the Feedback pin,and increasing the output capacitor to at least 3.3 μF, will fix this problem. Reducing Output Noise In reference applications it may be advantageous to reduce the AC noise present at the output. One method is to reduce the regulator bandwidth by increasing the size of the output capacitor. This is the only way noise can be reduced on the 3 lead LP2950-N but is relatively inefficient, as increasing the capacitor from 1 μF to 220 μF only decreases the noise from 430 μV(RMS) to 160 μV(RMS) for a 100 kHz bandwidth at 5V output. Noise can be reduced fourfold by a bypass capacitor across R1, since it reduces the high frequency gain from 4 to unity. Pick (8) or about 0.01 μF. When doing this, the output capacitor must be increased to 3.3 μF to maintain stability. These changes reduce the output noise from 430 μV to 100 μV rms for a 100 kHz bandwidth at 5V output. With the bypass capacitor added, noise no longer scales with output voltage so that improvements are more dramatic at higher output voltages. WSON Mounting The NGT (No Pullback) 8-Lead WSON package requires specific mounting techniques which are detailed in Application Note 1187 (literature number SNOA401). Referring to the PCB Design Recommendations section (literature number SNOA401), it should be noted that the pad style which should be used with the WSON package is the NSMD (non-solder mask defined) type. Additionally, it is recommended the PCB terminal pads to be 0.2 mm longer than the package pads to create a solder fillet to improve reliability and inspection. The thermal dissipation of the WSON package is directly related to the printed circuit board construction and the amount of additional copper area connected to the DAP. The DAP (exposed pad) on the bottom of the WSON package is connected to the die substrate with a conductive die attach adhesive. The DAP has no direct electrical (wire) connection to any of the eight pins. There is a parasitic PN junction between the die substrate and the device ground. As such, it is strongly recommend that the DAP be connected directly to the ground at device lead 4 (i.e. GND). Alternately, but not recommended, the DAP may be left floating (i.e. no electrical connection). The DAP must not be connected to any potential other than ground. For the LP2951-N in the NGT 8-Lead WSON package, the junction-to-case thermal rating, θJC, is 14.2°C/W, where the case is the bottom of the package at the center of the DAP. The junction-to-ambient thermal performance for the LP2951-N in the NGT 8-Lead WSON package, using the JEDEC JESD51 standards is summarized in the following table: Board Type Thermal Vias θJC θJA JEDEC 2-Layer JESD 51-3 None 14.2°C/W 185°C/W 1 14.2°C/W 68°C/W 2 14.2°C/W 60°C/W 4 14.2°C/W 51°C/W 6 14.2°C/W 48°C/W JEDEC 4-Layer JESD 51-7 16 Submit Documentation Feedback Copyright © 2000–2013, Texas Instruments Incorporated Product Folder Links: LP2950-N LP2951-N LP2950-N, LP2951-N www.ti.com SNVS764N – JANUARY 2000 – REVISED MAY 2013 Typical Applications Figure 48. 1A Regulator with 1.2V Dropout Figure 49. 300mA Regulator with 0.75V Dropout *Minimum input-output voltage ranges from 40mV to 400mV, depending on load current.

LIFEBUY: TI has announced that the device will be discontinued, and a lifetime-buy period is in effect. NRND: Not recommended for new designs. Device is in production to support existing customers, but TI does not recommend using this part in a new design. PREVIEW: Device has been announced but is not in production. Samples may or may not be available. OBSOLETE: TI has discontinued the production of the device. (2) Eco Plan - The planned eco-friendly classification: Pb-Free (RoHS), Pb-Free (RoHS Exempt), or Green (RoHS & no Sb/Br) - please check http://www.ti.com/productcontent for the latest availability information and additional product content details. TBD: The Pb-Free/Green conversion plan has not been defined. Pb-Free (RoHS): TI's terms "Lead-Free" or "Pb-Free" mean semiconductor products that are compatible with the current RoHS requirements for all 6 substances, including the requirement that lead not exceed 0.1% by weight in homogeneous materials. Where designed to be soldered at high temperatures, TI Pb-Free products are suitable for use in specified lead-free processes. Pb-Free (RoHS Exempt): This component has a RoHS exemption for either 1) lead-based flip-chip solder bumps used between the die and package, or 2) lead-based die adhesive used between the die and leadframe. The component is otherwise considered Pb-Free (RoHS compatible) as defined above. Green (RoHS & no Sb/Br): TI defines "Green" to mean Pb-Free (RoHS compatible), and free of Bromine (Br) and Antimony (Sb) based flame retardants (Br or Sb do not exceed 0.1% by weight in homogeneous material) (3) MSL, Peak Temp. -- The Moisture Sensitivity Level rating according to the JEDEC industry standard classifications, and peak solder temperature. (4) There may be additional marking, which relates to the logo, the lot trace code information, or the environmental category on the device. (5) Multiple Device Markings will be inside parentheses. Only one Device Marking contained in parentheses and separated by a "~" will appear on a device. If a line is indented then it is a continuation of the previous line and the two combined represent the entire Device Marking for that device.

(TI) reserve the right to make corrections, enhancements, improvements and other changes to its semiconductor products and services per JESD46, latest issue, and to discontinue any product or service per JESD48, latest issue. Buyers should obtain the latest relevant information before placing orders and should verify that such information is current and complete. All semiconductor products (also referred to herein as “components”) are sold subject to TI’s terms and conditions of sale supplied at the time of order acknowledgment. TI warrants performance of its components to the specifications applicable at the time of sale, in accordance with the warranty in TI’s terms and conditions of sale of semiconductor products. Testing and other quality control techniques are used to the extent TI deems necessary to support this warranty. Except where mandated by applicable law, testing of all parameters of each component is not necessarily performed. TI assumes no liability for applications assistance or the design of Buyers’ products. Buyers are responsible for their products and applications using TI components. To minimize the risks associated with Buyers’ products and applications, Buyers should provide adequate design and operating safeguards. TI does not warrant or represent that any license, either express or implied, is granted under any patent right, copyright, mask work right, or other intellectual property right relating to any combination, machine, or process in which TI components or services are used. Information published by TI regarding third-party products or services does not constitute a license to use such products or services or a warranty or endorsement thereof. Use of such information may require a license from a third party under the patents or other intellectual property of the third party, or a license from TI under the patents or other intellectual property of TI. Reproduction of significant portions of TI information in TI data books or data sheets is permissible only if reproduction is without alteration and is accompanied by all associated warranties, conditions, limitations, and notices. TI is not responsible or liable for such altered documentation. Information of third parties may be subject to additional restrictions. Resale of TI components or services with statements different from or beyond the parameters stated by TI for that component or service voids all express and any implied warranties for the associated TI component or service and is an unfair and deceptive business practice. TI is not responsible or liable for any such statements. Buyer acknowledges and agrees that it is solely responsible for compliance with all legal, regulatory and safety-related requirements concerning its products, and any use of TI components in its applications, notwithstanding any applications-related information or support that may be provided by TI. Buyer represents and agrees that it has all the necessary expertise to create and implement safeguards which anticipate dangerous consequences of failures, monitor failures and their consequences, lessen the likelihood of failures that might cause harm and take appropriate remedial actions. Buyer will fully indemnify TI and its representatives against any damages arising out of the use of any TI components in safety-critical applications. In some cases, TI components may be promoted specifically to facilitate safety-related applications.
