This topology is stable using output capacitors with low ESR, and even allows operation without a capacitor. It also provides high reverse blockage (low reverse current) and ground pin current that is nearly constant over all values of output current. The TPS736xx uses an advanced BiCMOS process to yield high precision while delivering very low dropout voltages and low ground pin current. Current consumption, when not enabled, is under 1µA and ideal for portable applications. The extremely low output noise (30µVRMS with 0.1µF CNR) is ideal for powering VCOs. These devices are protected by thermal shutdown and foldback current limit.

Submit Documentation Feedback TPS736xx www.ti.com SBVS038N – SEPTEMBER 2003 – REVISED JANUARY 2007 APPLICATION INFORMATION The TPS736xx belongs to a family of new generation LDO regulators that use an NMOS pass transistor to achieve ultra-low-dropout performance, reverse current blockage, and freedom from output capacitor constraints. These features, combined with low noise and an enable input, make the TPS736xx ideal for portable applications. This regulator family offers a wide selection of fixed output voltage versions and an adjustable output version. All versions have thermal and over-current protection, including foldback current limit. Figure 31 shows the basic circuit connections for the fixed voltage models. Figure 32 gives the connections for the adjustable output version (TPS73601). Optional input capacitor May improve source impedance, noise, or PSRR. VIN Optional output capacitor. May improve load transient, noise, or PSRR. VOUT OUT IN TPS736xx EN GND NR Optional bypass capacitor to reduce output noise. Figure 31. Typical Application Circuit for Fixed-Voltage Versions Optional input capacitor. May improve source impedance, noise, or PSRR. VIN Optional output capacitor. May improve load transient, noise, or PSRR. IN EN VOUT OUT TPS73601 GND R1 CFB FB in addition to the internal 8kΩ resistor, presents the same impedance to the error amp as the 27kΩ bandgap reference output. This impedance helps compensate for leakages into the error amp terminals. Input and Output Capacitor Requirements Although an input capacitor is not required for stability, it is good analog design practice to connect a 0.1µF to 1µF low ESR capacitor across the input supply near the regulator. This will counteract reactive input sources and improves transient response, noise rejection, and ripple rejection. A higher-value capacitor may be necessary if large, fast rise-time load transients are anticipated or the device is located several inches from the power source. The TPS736xx does not require an output capacitor for stability and has maximum phase margin with no capacitor. It is designed to be stable for all available types and values of capacitors. In applications where VIN – VOUT < 0.5V and multiple low ESR capacitors are in parallel, ringing may occur when the product of COUT and total ESR drops below 50nΩF. Total ESR includes all parasitic resistances, including capacitor ESR and board, socket, and solder joint resistance. In most applications, the sum of capacitor ESR and trace resistance will meet this requirement. Output Noise A precision band-gap reference is used to generate the internal reference voltage, VREF. This reference is the dominant noise source within the TPS736xx and it generates approximately 32µVRMS (10Hz to 100kHz) at the reference output (NR). The regulator control loop gains up the reference noise with the same gain as the reference voltage, so that the noise voltage of the regulator is approximately given by: R2 VOUT = (R1 + R2) R2 x 1.204 Optional capacitor reduces output noise and improves transient response. Figure 32. Typical Application Circuit for Adjustable-Voltage Version R1 and R2 can be calculated for any output voltage using the formula shown in Figure 32. Sample resistor values for common output voltages are shown in Figure 2. For best accuracy, make the parallel combination of R1 and R2 approximately euqal to 19kΩ. This 19kΩ, (R1 ) R2) + 32mVRMS R2 V N + 32mVRMS VOUT VREF (1) Since the value of VREF is 1.2V, this relationship reduces to: mV RMS V N(mVRMS) + 27 V OUT(V) V (2) ǒ Ǔ for the case of no CNR. An internal 27kΩ resistor in series with the noise reduction pin (NR) forms a low-pass filter for the voltage reference when an external noise reduction capacitor, CNR, is connected from NR to ground. For CNR = 10nF, the total noise in the 10Hz to 100kHz bandwidth is reduced by a factor of ~3.2, giving the approximate relationship: Submit Documentation Feedback 11 TPS736xx www.ti.com SBVS038N – SEPTEMBER 2003 – REVISED JANUARY 2007 ǒmVV Ǔ V N(mVRMS) + 8.5 RMS V OUT(V) (3) for CNR = 10nF. This noise reduction effect is shown as RMS Noise Voltage vs CNR in the Typical Characteristics section. The TPS73601 adjustable version does not have the noise-reduction pin available. However, connecting a feedback capacitor, CFB , from the output to the FB pin will reduce output noise and improve load transient performance. The TPS736xx uses an internal charge pump to develop an internal supply voltage sufficient to drive the gate of the NMOS pass element above VOUT. The charge pump generates ~250µV of switching noise at ~4MHz; however, charge-pump noise contribution is negligible at the output of the regulator for most values of IOUT and COUT. Board Layout Recommendation to Improve PSRR and Noise Performance To improve ac performance such as PSRR, output noise, and transient response, it is recommended that the board be designed with separate ground planes for VIN and VOUT, with each ground plane connected only at the GND pin of the device. In addition, the ground connection for the bypass capacitor should connect directly to the GND pin of the device. Internal Current Limit The TPS736xx internal current limit helps protect the regulator during fault conditions. Foldback helps to protect the regulator from damage during output short-circuit conditions by reducing current limit when VOUT drops below 0.5V. See Figure 11 in the Typical Characteristics section for a graph of IOUT vs VOUT. Shutdown The Enable pin is active high and is compatible with standard TTL-CMOS levels. VEN below 0.5V (max) turns the regulator off and drops the ground pin current to approximately 10nA. When shutdown capability is not required, the Enable pin can be connected to VIN. When a pull-up resistor is used, and operation down to 1.8V is required, use pull-up resistor values below 50kΩ. For large step changes in load current, the TPS736xx requires a larger voltage drop from VIN to VOUT to avoid degraded transient response. The boundary of this transient dropout region is approximately twice the dc dropout. Values of VIN – VOUT above this line insure normal transient response. Operating in the transient dropout region can cause an increase in recovery time. The time required to recover from a load transient is a function of the magnitude of the change in load current rate, the rate of change in load current, and the available headroom (VIN to VOUT voltage drop). Under worst-case conditions [full-scale instantaneous load change with (VIN – VOUT) close to dc dropout levels], the TPS736xx can take a couple of hundred microseconds to return to the specified regulation accuracy. Transient Response The low open-loop output impedance provided by the NMOS pass element in a voltage follower configuration allows operation without an output capacitor for many applications. As with any regulator, the addition of a capacitor (nominal value 1µF) from the output pin to ground will reduce undershoot magnitude but increase its duration. In the adjustable version, the addition of a capacitor, CFB, from the output to the adjust pin will also improve the transient response. The TPS736xx does not have active pull-down when the output is over-voltage. This allows applications that connect higher voltage sources, such as alternate power supplies, to the output. This also results in an output overshoot of several percent if load current quickly drops to zero when a capacitor is connected to the output. The duration of overshoot can be reduced by adding a load resistor. The overshoot decays at a rate determined by output capacitor COUT and the internal/external load resistance. The rate of decay is given by: (Fixed Voltage Version) dVńdt + C OUT (4) (Adjustable Voltage Version) dVńdt + C OUT Dropout Voltage The TPS736xx uses an NMOS pass transistor to achieve extremely low dropout. When (VIN – VOUT) is less than the dropout voltage (VDO), the NMOS pass device is in its linear region of operation and the input-to-output resistance is the RDS-ON of the NMOS pass element. 12 VOUT 80kW ø R LOAD Submit Documentation Feedback V OUT 80kW ø (R 1 ) R 2) ø R LOAD (5) TPS736xx www.ti.com SBVS038N – SEPTEMBER 2003 – REVISED JANUARY 2007 Reverse Current The NMOS pass element of the TPS736xx provides inherent protection against current flow from the output of the regulator to the input when the gate of the pass device is pulled low. To ensure that all charge is removed from the gate of the pass element, the enable pin must be driven low before the input voltage is removed. If this is not done, the pass element may be left on due to stored charge on the gate. After the enable pin is driven low, no bias voltage is needed on any pin for reverse current blocking. Note that reverse current is specified as the current flowing out of the IN pin due to voltage applied on the OUT pin. There will be additional current flowing into the OUT pin due to the 80kΩ internal resistor divider to ground (see Figure 1 and Figure 2). For the TPS73601, reverse current may flow when VFB is more than 1.0V above VIN. Thermal Protection Thermal protection disables the output when the junction temperature rises to approximately +160°C, allowing the device to cool. When the junction temperature cools to approximately +140°C, the output circuitry is again enabled. Depending on power dissipation, thermal resistance, and ambient temperature, the thermal protection circuit may cycle on and off. This limits the dissipation of the regulator, protecting it from damage due to overheating. Any tendency to activate the thermal protection circuit indicates excessive power dissipation or an inadequate heat sink. For reliable operation, junction temperature should be limited to +125°C maximum. To estimate the margin of safety in a complete design (including heat sink), increase the ambient temperature until the thermal protection is triggered; use worst-case loads and signal conditions. For good reliability, thermal protection should trigger at least +35°C above the maximum expected ambient condition of your application. This produces a worst-case junction temperature of +125°C at the highest expected ambient temperature and worst-case load. The internal protection circuitry of the TPS736xx has been designed to protect against overload conditions. It was not intended to replace proper heat sinking. Continuously running the TPS736xx into thermal shutdown will degrade reliability. Power Dissipation The ability to remove heat from the die is different for each package type, presenting different considerations in the PCB layout. The PCB area around the device that is free of other components moves the heat from the device to the ambient air. Performance data for JEDEC low and high K boards are shown in the Power Dissipation Ratings table. Using heavier copper will increase the effectiveness in removing heat from the device. The addition of plated through-holes to heat-dissipating layers will also improve the heat-sink effectiveness. Power dissipation depends on input conditions. Power dissipation (PD) product of the output current times across the output pass element (VIN P D + (VIN * VOUT) I OUT voltage and load is equal to the the voltage drop to VOUT): (6) Power dissipation can be minimized by using the lowest possible input voltage necessary to assure the required output voltage.
