The NPN structure allows access to lower drop out levels because its base current can be routed to ground pin and not to output. To control and monitor the device from / to the external logic world – usually operating in positive voltage area – a dedicated logic interface block (INHIBIT and OCM functions) has been implemented with +3 V to +5 V supplied line V(+). In case V(+) = 0 V, inhibit and OCM functions are not available: In this condition, INHIBIT function is ON and OCM pin is “no care”. The device is internally protected by several blocks. 5.1 ADJ pin The load voltage feed back comes from an external divider resistor bridge middle point to ADJ pin established between load terminals. 5.2 Inhibit ON-OFF control When INHIBIT pin is TTL-high (positive), the device switches off current and voltage output. The device is ON when INHIBIT pin is set TTL-low. 5.3 Overtemperature protection A temperature detector internally monitors power element junction temperature. The device goes OFF circa 165 °-175 °C are reached, and returns ON when circa 100 °C. When internal temperature detector reaches 170 °C, the active power element can be at 225 °C: Device reliability cannot be granted during extensive operation duration with these conditions. 5.4 Overcurrent protection ISC pin. An internal non-fold back short-circuit limitation is set with ISHORT > 4 A (VO is 0 V). This value can be downward modified by an external resistor connected between ISC and VI pins, with a typical value range of 10 kΩ to 200 kΩ. To keep excellent VO regulation, it is necessary to set ISHORT 1.6 times greater than the maximum desired application IO. When IO reaches ISHORT – 300 mA, the current limitor overrules regulation and VO starts to drop and OCM flag is risen. When no current limitation adjustment is required, ISC pin shall be left unbiased (as it is in 3 pin packages). 5.5 OCM pin Goes low when current limitor starts to be active, otherwise VOCM = V (+). It is bufferized and can sink 10 mA. OCM pin is internally pulled-up by a 50 kΩ resistor. Can left open when V (+) = 0. 8/19 RHFL7913A 5.6 Device description Alternates to RHFL7913A is recommended to replace all industry negative regulators due to its exceptional radiation performances. To replace 3-terminal industry devices, use customized RHFL7913 fixed voltage versions. 9/19 Application information 6 RHFL7913A Application information Adjusting output voltage: R1 resistor must be connected between VO and ADJ pins. R2 resistor must be connected between ADJ and GND pins. Resistor values can be derived from the following formula: VO = VADJ (1 + R1/R2) with VADJ = -1.20 V To access all RHFL7913A adjustable functionality, V (+) shall be set at 3.0 V (max 5 V). As a consequence, VI (-) cannot be greater than –9.0 V (resp. –7 V) due to –12 V maximum operation rating. The device is functional as soon as VI - VO voltage difference is slightly above power element saturation voltage. The adjustable pin to Ground resistor shall not be greater than 10 kΩ to make output feedback error be below 0.2%. A minimum 0.5 mA IO is necessary to set to ensure perfect “no-load” regulation. It can be wise to dissipate this current into the divider bridge resistor. All available VI pins shall always be PCB interconnected, the same for all available VO pins, otherwise device stability and reliability cannot be granted. The INHIBIT function switches off output current in an electronic way, is very quickly. According to Lenz’ Law, external circuitry reacts with –LdI/dt terms which can be of high amplitude in case some seriesinductance exists. Effect would be large transient voltage developed on both device terminals. External Schottky diodes set on VI and VO may prevent voltage excursions beyond max ratings. In the worst case, a 14 V Zener diode shall protect the device input. In case of capacitive load, a input-output protection diode can be necessary to prevent VO to be greater than VI during transient operation. The device has been designed for high stability and low drop out operation: minimum 1 µF input and output tantalum capacitors are therefore mandatory. Typical industry PCB design practices 10 µF capacitors values are acceptable. Capacitor ESR range is from 0.020 Ω to over 20 Ω. Such range turns out to be useful when ESR increases at low temperature. When large transient currents are expected, larger value capacitors are necessary. In case of high current operation with expected short-circuit events, caution shall be considered relatively to capacitors. They shall be connected as close as possible form device terminals. As some tantalum capacitors may permanently fail when submitted to high charge-up surge currents, it is recommended to decouple them with 470 nF polyester or ceramic capacitors. RHFL7913A adjustable being manufactured with very high speed bipolar technology (6 GHz fT transistors), the PCB layout shall be performed with unprecedented care, very low inductance, low mutually coupling lines, otherwise high frequency parasitic signals may be picked-up by the Device resulting into system self-oscillation. In difficult high current circumstances (coming from PCB layout) a 470 nF polyester capacitor connected between VO and ADJ pin increases stability margins. Benefit is SVR performances extended to far higher frequencies. 10/19 RHFL7913A 6.1 Application information Remote sensing operation When load is physically far away from device output, the adjustable line can be set as a kelvin sense line by implementing the divider resistor bridge as close as possible form device, with a decoupling capacitor. The adjust pin kelvin sense line (to be not coupled with power line) picks-up load voltage (load also locally decoupled with a capacitor). This layout eliminates ohmic drop in load power wire. Similarly, by taking advantage of two separate ground terminals: power ground pin shall be directly connected to load ground terminal which is also the system ground, device signal ground shall be separately connected to load ground terminal by another kelvin line: In this way, ground ohmic errors are minimized because the only current flowing into device signal ground pin kelvin line is device Iq (a matter of a few mA). 11/19 Die information 7 RHFL7913A Die information RHFL7913A adjustable is also available in die form.
