Operating Ratings are conditions under which operation of the device is guaranteed. Operating Ratings do not imply guaranteed performance limits. For guaranteed performance limits and associated test conditions, see the Electrical Characteristics tables. Note 2: All voltages are with respect to the potential at the GND pin. Note 3: The maximum ambient temperature (TA(max)) is dependant on the maximum operating junction temperature (TJ(max-op) = 125˚C), the maximum power dissipation of the device in te application (PD(max)), and the junction to ambient thermal resistance of the part/package in the application (θJA), as given by the following equation: TA(max) = TJ(max-op) - (θJA x PD(max)). Note 4: The human body model is 100pF discharged through a 1.5kΩ resistor into each pin. The machine model is a 200pF capacitor discharged directly into each pin. Note 5: Junction to ambient thermal resistance is dependant on the application and board layout. In applications where high maximum power dissipation is possible, special care must be paid to thermal dissipation issues in board design. Note 6: The device maintains the regulated output voltage without load. www.national.com 4 LP3983 Electrical Characteristics (Continued) Note 7: This electrical specification is guaranteed by design.

All electrical characteristics having room-temperature limits are tested during production with TJ = 25˚C or correlated using Statistical Quality Control methods. Operation over the temperature specification is guaranteed by correlating the electrical characteristics to process and temperature variations and applying statistical process control.

(Continued) LP3983 It may also be possible to use tantalum or film capacitors at the output, but these are not as attractive for reasons of size and cost (see the section Capacitor Characteristics). Application Hints POWER DISSIPATION AND DEVICE OPERATION The permissible power dissipation for any package is a measure of the capability of the device to pass heat from the power source, the junctions of the IC, to the ultimate heat sink, the ambient environment. Thus the power dissipation is dependent on the ambient temperature and the thermal resistance across the various interfaces between the die and ambient air. As stated in note 3 in the electrical specification section, the allowable power dissipation for the device in a given package can be calculated using the equation PD = (TJ - TA)/θJA With a θJA = 255˚C/W, the device in the micro SMD package returns a value of 392mW with a maximum junction temperature of 125˚C and an ambient temperature of 25˚C. The actual power dissipation across the device can be represented by the following equation; PD = (VIN - VOUT) * IOUT This establishes the relationship between the power dissipation allowed due to thermal considerations, the voltage drop across the device, and the continuous current capability of the device. These two equations should be used to determine the optimum operating conditions for the device in the application. NO-LOAD STABILITY The LP3983 will remain stable and in regulation with no external load. This is specially important in CMOS RAM keep-alive applications. CAPACITOR CHARACTERISTICS The LP3983 is designed to work with ceramic capacitors on the output to take advantage of the benefits they offer. For capacitance values in the range of 1µF to 4.7µF range, ceramic capacitors are the smallest, least expensive and have the lowest ESR values (which makes them best for eliminating high frequency noise). The ESR of a typical 1µF ceramic capacitor is in the range of 20 mΩ to 40 mΩ, which easily meets the ESR requirement for stability by the LP3983. The temperature performance of ceramic capacitors varies by type. Larger value ceramic capacitors may be manufactured with Z5U or Y5V temperature characteristics, which results in the capacitance dropping by more than 50% as the temperature goes from 25˚C to 85˚C. A better choice for temperature coefficient in a ceramic capacitor is X7R, which holds the capacitance within ± 15% over the temperature range. Tantalum capacitors are less desirable than ceramic for use as output capacitors because they are more expensive when comparing equivalent capacitance and voltage ratings in the 1µF to 4.7µF range. Another important consideration is that tantalum capacitors have higher ESR values than equivalent size ceramics. This means that while it may be possible to find a tantalum capacitor with an ESR value within the stable range, it would have to be larger in capacitance (which means bigger and more costly ) than a ceramic capacitor with the same ESR value. It should also be noted that the ESR of a typical tantalum will increase about 2:1 as the temperature goes from 25˚C down to −40˚C, so some guard band must be allowed. EXTERNAL CAPACITORS In common with most low-dropout regulators, the LP3983 requires external capacitors to ensure stable operation. The LP3983 is specifically designed for portable applications requiring minimum board space and smallest components. These capacitors must be correctly selected for good performance. INPUT CAPACITOR An input capacitor is required for stability. It is recommended that a 1.0uF capacitor be connected between the LP3983 input pin and ground (this capacitance value may be increased without limit). ENABLE OPERATION The LP3983 may be switched ON or OFF by a logic input at the ENABLE pin, VEN. A high voltage at this pin will turn the device on. When the enable pin is low, the regulator output is off and the device typically consumes < 1µA. If the application does not require the shutdown feature, the VEN pin should be tied to VIN to keep the regulator output permanently on. To ensure proper operation, the signal source used to drive the VEN input must be able to swing above and below the specified turn-on/off voltage thresholds listed in the Electrical Characteristics section under VIL and VIH. This capacitor must be located a distance of not more than 1cm from the input pin and returned to a clean analog ground. Any good quality ceramic, tantalum, or film capacitor may be used at the input. Important: Tantalum capacitors can suffer catastrophic failures due to surge current when connected to a lowimpedance source of power (like a battery or a very large capacitor). If a tantalum capacitor is used at the input, it must be guaranteed by the manufacturer to have a surge current rating sufficient for the application. There are no requirements for the ESR (Equivalent Series Resistance) on the input capacitor, but tolerance and temperature coefficient must be considered when selecting the capacitor to ensure the capacitance will be ) 1µF over the entire operating temperature range. MICRO SMD MOUNTING The micro SMD package requires specific mounting techniques which are detailed in National Semiconductor Application Note (AN-1112). Referring to the section Surface Mount Technology (SMT) Assembly Considerations, it should be noted that the pad style which must be used with the 5 pin package is NSMD (non-solder mask defined) type. For best results during assembly, alignment ordinals on the PC board may be used to facilitate placement of the micro SMD device. OUTPUT CAPACITOR The LP3983 is designed specifically to work with very small ceramic output capacitors. A ceramic capacitor (dielectric types Z5U, Y5V or X7R), recommended value 2.2µF and with ESR between 5mΩ to 500mΩ, is suitable in the LP3983 application circuit. For this device the output capacitor should be connected between the VOUT pin and ground. www.national.com 8 cent lighting used inside most buildings has very little effect on the output voltage of the device. Tests carried out on a micro SMD test board showed a negligible effect on the regulated output voltage when brought within 1cm of a fluorescent lamp. A deviation of less than 0.1% from nominal output voltage was observed. (Continued) MICRO SMD LIGHT SENSITIVITY Exposing the micro SMD device to direct sunlight may cause mis-operation of the device. Light sources such as Halogen lamps can effect electrical performance if brought near to the device.
