DESCRIPTION The SPX1202 is a low power positive-voltage regulator designed to satisfy moderate power requirements with a cost effective, small footprint solution. This device is an excellent choice for use in battery-powered applications and portable computers. The SPX1202 features very low quiescent current and a low dropout voltage of 1.1V at a full load. As output current decreases, quiescent current flows into the load, increasing efficiency. SPX1202 is available in adjustable or fixed 2.5V, 3V and 3.3V output voltages. The SPX1202 is offered in several 3-pin surface mount packages: SOT-223, TO-252, TO-220 and TO-263. An output capacitor of 10µF provides unconditional stability while a smaller 2.2µF capacitor is sufficient for most applications.

The value may change based on the application requirements of the output load or temperature range. The value of ESR can vary based on the type of capacitor used in the applications. The recommended value for ESR is 0.5Ω or less. A larger value of output capacitance (up to 100µF) can improve the load transient response. 35 X 17mm 16 X 10mm Figure 7. Substrate Layout for SOT-223 in the application can effect the thermal resistance of the SPX1202. The actual thermal resistance can be determined with experimentation. SOLDERING METHODS The SPX1202 SOT-223 package is designed to be compatible with infrared reflow or vaporphase reflow soldering techniques. During soldering, the non-active or mildly active fluxes may be used. The SPX1202 die is attached to the heatsink lead which exits opposite the input, output, and ground pins. SPX1202 power dissipation is calculated as follows: PD = (VIN - VOUT)(IOUT) Maximum Junction Temperature range: Hand soldering and wave soldering should be avoided since these methods can cause damage to the device with excessive thermal gradients on the package. The SOT-223 recommended soldering method are as follows: vapor phase reflow and infrared reflow with the component preheated to within 65°C of the soldering temperature range TJ = TAMBIENT (max) + PD* (Thermal Resistance) (Junction-to-ambient) Maximum junction temperature must not exceed the 125°C. Ripple Rejection Ripple rejection can be improved by adding a capacitor between the ADJ pin and ground as shown in Figure 7. When ADJ pin bypassing is used, the value of the output capacitor required increases to its maximum. If the ADJ pin is not bypassed, the value of the output capacitor can be lowered to 10µF for an electrolytic aluminum capacitor or 2.2µF for a solid tantalum capacitor (Fig 10). THERMAL CHARACTERISTICS The thermal resistance of SPX1202 depends on the type of package and PC board layout as shown in Table 1. The SPX1202 features the internal thermal limiting to protect the device during overload conditions. Special care needs to be taken during continuous load conditions such that the maximum junction temperature does not exceed 125°C. Thermal protection is activated at >144°C and deactiviated at <137°C. However the value of the ADJ-bypass capacitor should be chosen with respect to the following equation: C = 1 / ( 6.28 * FR * R1 ) Taking the FR-4 printed circuit board and 1/16 thick with 1 ounce copper foil as an experiment, the PCB material is effective at transmitting heat with the tab attached to the pad area and a ground plane layer on the backside of the substrate. Refer to table 1 for the results of the experiment. The thermal interaction from other components Date: 5/25/04 Where C = value of the capacitor in Farads (select an equal or larger standard value), FR = ripple frequency in Hz, R1 = value of resistor R1 in Ohms. If an ADJ-bypass capacitor is used, the ampli- SPX1202 600mA Low Dropout Positive Linear Regulator 4 © Copyright 2004 Sipex Corporation tude of the output ripple will be independent of the output voltage. If an ADJ-bypass capacitor is not used, the output ripple will be proportional to the ratio of the output voltage to the reference voltage: The output of the adjustable regulator can be set to any voltage between 1.25V and 15V. The value of VOUT can be quickly approximated using the formula. (Figure 9) VOUT=1.25 *(R1 + R2)/R1. M = VOUT / VREF A small correction to this formula is required depending on the values of resistors R1 and R2, since adjustable pin current (approx 50µA) flows through R2. When IADJ is taken into account, the formula becomes Where M = multiplier for the ripple seen when the ADJ pin is optimally bypassed. VREF =1.25V Output Voltage VOUT = VREF(1+ (R2/R1)) + IADJ * R2, where VREF=1.25V.
