A minimum of 100uF capacitor must be connected from this pin to ground to insure stability. The output #1 (low current) of the regulator. A minimum of 100uF capacitor must be connected from this pin to ground to insure stability. The power input pin of the regulator. Typically a large storage capacitor is connected from this pin to ground to insure that the input voltage does not sag below the minimum drop out voltage during the load transient response. This pin must always be higher than both Vout pins by the amount of the dropout voltage(see datasheet) in order for the device to regulate properly. This pin is connected to GND. It is also the TAB of the package. The control input pin of the regulator. This pin via a 10Ω resistor is connected to the 5V supply to provide the base current for the pass transistor of both regulators. This allows the regulator to have very low dropout voltage which allows one to generate a well regulated 2.5V supply from the 3.3V input. A high frequency, 1 uF capacitor is connected between this pin and Vin pin to insure stability.

This voltage regulator is designed specifically for applications that require two separate regulators such as the Intel PII processors requiring 1.5V and 2.5 V supplies, eliminating the need for a second regulator which results in lower overall system cost. When Vctrl pin is connected to a supply which is at least 1V higher than Vin, the dropout voltage improves by 30% which makes it ideal for applications requiring less than the standard 1.3V dropout given in the LDO products such as US10XX series. The US1260 also provides an accurate 1.20V voltage reference common to both regulators for programming each output voltage. Other features of the device include; fast response to sudden load current changes, such as GTL+ termination application for Pentium II family of microprocessors. The US1260 also includes thermal shutdown protection to protect the device if an overload condition occurs. Output Voltage Setting The US1260 can be programmed to any voltages in the range of 1.20V to 5.5V with the addition of R1 and R2 external resistors according to the following formula: R2 VOUT = VREF 1 + + R2 × IB R1 Wehre : VREF = 120 . V Typically IB = 0.02uA Typical R1 & R2 as shown in figure 2 The US1260 keeps a constant 1.20V between the Vfb pin and ground pin. By placing a resistor R1 across these two pins a constant current flows through R1, adding to the IFB current and into the R2 resistor producing a voltage equal to the (1.2/R1)*R2 + IFB* R2 which will be added to the 1.20V to set the output voltage as shown in the above equation. Since the input bias current of the amplifier (IFB) is only 0.02uA typically , it adds a very small error to the output voltage and for most applications can be ignored. For example, in a typical 1.5V GTL+application if R1=10.2kΩ and R2=2.55kΩ the error due to the Iadj is only 0.05mV which is less than 0.004% of the nominal set point. The effective input impedance seen by the feedback pins (R1 II R2) must always be higher than 1.8kΩ Ω in order for the regulator to start up properly. Load Regulation Since the US1260 does not provide a separate ground pin for the reference voltage, it is not possible to provide true remote sensing of the output voltage at the load. Figure 3 shows that the best load regulation is achieved when the bottom side of R1 resistor is connected directly to the ground pin of US1260 (preferably to the tab of the device) and the top side of R2 resistor is connected to the load. In fact , if R1 is connected to the load side, the effective resistance between the regulator and the load is gained up by the factor of (1+R2/R1) ,or the effective resistance will be ,Rp(eff)=Rp*(1+R2/R1).It is important to note that for high current applications, this can represent a significant percentage of the overall load regulation and one must keep the path from the regulator to the load as short as possible to minimize this effect.

(Only one output is shown here) Rev. 1.9 3/22/99 US1260 Stability The US1260 requires the use of an output capacitor as part of the frequency compensation in order to make the regulator stable. Typical designs for the microprocessor applications use standard electrolytic capacitors with typical ESR in the range of 50 to 100 mΩ and the output capacitance of 500 to 1000uF. Fortunately as the capacitance increases, the ESR decreases resulting in a fixed RC time constant. The US1260 takes advantage of this phenomena in making the overall regulator loop stable. For most applications a minimum of 100uF aluminum electrolytic capacitor with the maximum ESR of 0.3Ω such as Sanyo, MVGX series ,Panasonic FA series as well as the Nichicon PL series insures both stability and good transient response. The US1260 also requires a 1 uF ceramic capacitor connected from Vin to Vctrl and a 10Ω, 0.1W resistor in series with Vctrl pin in order to further insure stability. Thermal Design The US1260 incorporates an internal thermal shutdown that protects the device when the junction temperature exceeds the maximum allowable junction temperature. Although this device can operate with junction temperatures in the range of 150°C ,it is recommended that the selected heat sink be chosen such that during maximum continuous load operation the junction temperature is kept below this number. Two examples are given which shows the steps in selecting the proper regulator heat sink for driving the Pentium II processor GTL+ termination resistors and the Clock IC using 1260 in TO220 or TO-263 packages. Example # 1 Assuming the following specifications : VIN = 3.3V VOUT 2 = 1.5 V VOUT 1 = 2.5 V IOUT 2 MAX = 5.4A IOUT 1 MAX = 0.4 A TA = 35° C 2) Select a package from the datasheet and record its junction to case (or Tab) thermal resistance. Selecting TO220 package gives us : θJC =2.7° C / W 3) Assuming that the heat sink is Black Anodized, calculate the maximum Heat sink temperature allowed : Assume , θSA = 0.05 °C/W (Heat sink to Case thermal resistance for Black Anodized) TS = TJ − PD × (θJC + θCS) TS = 135 − 10 × ( 2.7 + 0.05) = 107.4 ° C 4) With the maximum heat sink temperature calculated in the previous step, the Heat Sink to Air thermal resistance θSA is calculated as follows : ∆T = TS − TA = 107.4 − 35 = 72.4 ° C ∆T PD 72.4 = 7.24 ° C / W θSA = 10 θSA = 5) Next , a heat sink with lower θSA than the one calculated in step 4 must be selected. One way to do this is to simply look at the graphs of the “Heat Sink Temp Rise Above the Ambient” vs. the “Power Dissipation” and select a heat sink that results in lower temperature rise than the one calculated in previous step. The following heat sinks from AAVID and Thermaloy meet this criteria.

The difference is a substantial decrease in the power dissipation as shown below. The maximum power dissipation of 740 chip is 5.8W, which at 2.7V results in Io=5.8/2.7=2.15A a) Using standard LDO, the power dissipated in the device is; Pd=(Vin - Vo)*Io=(5-2.7)*2.15=4.94W Using surface mount TO263 package with 25° C/W junction to air thermal resistance results in: Tj=Pd*θja + Ta=(4.94)(25) + 25=148 ° C This is very close to the thermal shutdown of the IC. b) Using 1260, the power dissipated in the device is drastically reduced by using 3.3V supply instead of 5V Pd=(Vin - Vo)*Io=(3.3-2.7)*2.15=1.3W Using surface mount TO263 package with 25° C/W junction to air thermal resistance results in: Tj=Pd*θja + Ta=(1.3)(25) + 25=57 ° C A reduction of 91° C in junction temperature. 3) The maximum junction temperature of the device is calculated using the equation below : TJ = TA + PD × θJA TJ = 35 + 2.86 × 30 = 121 ° C Since this is lower than our selected 135°C maximum junction temperature (150°C is the thermal shutdown of the device), TO-263 package is a suitable package for our application. Layout Consideration The US1260 like all other high speed linear regulators need to be properly laid out to insure stable operation. The most important component is the output capacitor, which needs to be placed close to the output pin and connected to this pin using a plane connection with a low inductance path. US1260 in Ultra LDO, Single Output Application The US1260 can also be used in single supply applications where the difference between input and output is much lower than the standard 1.5V dropout that is obtainable with standard LDO devices. The schematic in figure 6 shows the application of the US1260 in a single supply with the second LDO being disabled. 3-6 Rev. 1.9 3/22/99 US1260 TYPICAL APPLICATION PENTIUM ΙΙ APPLICATION 3.3V C1 2.5V / 1A R1 C2 Vout1 U1 Vin Vout2 US1260 Gnd Vfb2 Vfb1 Vctrl 7 6 5 4 3 2 1 R2 1.5V / 6A R3 C4 C3 R4 R5 C5 1260app7-1.0 5V Figure 4 - Typical application of US1260 in the Pentium ΙΙ design with the 1.5V output providing for GTL+ termination while 2.5V supplies the clock chip.
