Application hints
Application hints
The LD49150 is an ultra-high performance, low dropout linear regulator, designed for high
current application that requires fast transient response. The LD49150 operates from two input
voltages, to reduce dropout voltage. The LD49150 is designed so that a minimum of external
component are necessary.
8.1
Input supply voltage (VIN)
VIN provides the power input current to the LD49150. The minimum input voltage can be as low
as 1.4V, allowing conversion from very low voltage supplies to achieve low output voltage levels
with very low power dissipation.
8.2
Bias supply voltage (VBIAS)
The LD49150 control circuitry is supplied the VBIAS pin which requires a very low bias current
(3mA typ.) even at the maximum output current level (1.5A). A bypass capacitor on the bias pin
is recommended to improve the performance of the LD49150 during line and load transient.
The small ceramic capacitor from VBIAS to ground reduces high frequency noise that could be
injected into the control circuitry from the bias rail. In typical applications a 1µF ceramic chip
capacitor may be used. The VBIAS input voltage must be 2.1V above the output voltage, with a
minimum VBIAS input voltage of 3V.
8.3
External capacitors
To assure regulator stability, input and output capacitors are required as shown in the typical
application circuit.
8.4
Output capacitor
The LD49150 requires a minimum output capacitance to maintain stability. A ceramic chip
capacitor of at least 1µF is required. However, specific capacitor selection could be needed to
ensure the transient response. A 1µF ceramic chip capacitor satisfies most applications but
10µF is recommended to ensure better transient performances. In applications where the VIN
level is close to the maximum operating voltage (VIN>4V), it is strongly recommended to use an
output capacitors of, at least, 10µF in order to avoid over-voltage stress on the Input/output
power pins during short circuit conditions due to parasitic inductive effect. The output capacitor
must be located as close as possible to the output pin of the LD49150. The ESR (equivalent
series resistance) of the output capacitor must be within the "STABLE" region as shown in the
typical characteristics figures. Both ceramic and tantalum capacitors are suitable.
8.5
Minimum load current
The LD49150 does not require a minimum load to maintain output voltage regulation.
13/20
Application hints
8.6
LD49150
VIN and VBIAS power sequencing
In common applications where the power on transient of VIN and VBIAS voltages are not
particularly fast (Tr>100µs), no power sequencing is required. Where voltage transient input
(Tr<100µs) is very fast, it is recommended to have the VIN voltage present before or, at least, at
the same time as the VBIAS voltage in order to avoid overvoltage spikes during the power on
transient (refer to the figures in the typical characteristics). Where VIN transient input
(Tr<<100µs) is very fast for the fixed VOUT versions, it is possible to avoid start-up overvoltage
spikes by pulling the VINH pin up to VIN voltage (refer to relative typical characteristics figures at
pages 11 and 12).
8.7
Power dissipation/heatsinking
A heatsink may be required depending on the maximum power dissipation and maximum
ambient temperature of the application. Under all possible conditions, the junction temperature
must be within the range specified under operating conditions. The total power dissipation of
the device is given by:
PD = VIN x IIN + VBIAS x IBIAS - VOUT x IOUT
Where:
●
VIN, Input supply voltage
●
VBIAS, Bias supply voltage
●
VOUT, Output voltage
●
IOUT, Load current
From this data, we can calculate the thermal resistance (θ SA) required for the heat sink using
the following formula:
θSA = (TJ - TA/PD) - (θJC + θCS)
The maximum allowed temperature rise (TRmax) depends on the maximum ambient
temperature (TAmax) of the application, and the maximum allowable junction temperature
(TJmax):
TRmax = TJmax - TAmax
The maximum allowable value for junction to ambient thermal resistance, θ JA, can be
calculated using the formula:
θJAmax = TRmax / PD
This part is available for the PPAK package.
The thermal resistance depends on the amount of copper area or heat sink, and on air flow. If
the maximum allowable value of θ JA calculated above is ≥100 °C/W for the PPAK package, no
heatsink is needed since the package can dissipate enough heat to satisfy these requirements.
If the value for allowable θ JA falls below these limits, a heat sink is required as described below.

8.8
Application hints
Heatsinking PPAK package
The PPAK package uses the copper plane on the PCB as a heatsink. The tab of these
packages is soldered to the copper plane for heat sinking. It is also possible to use the PCB
ground plane a heatsink. This area can be the inner GND layer of a multi-layer PCB, or, in a
dual layer PCB, it can be an unbroken GND area on the opposite side where the IC is situated
with a dissipating area thermally connected through vias holes, filled by solder.
Figure 26 shows a curve for θ JA of the PPAK package for different copper area sizes, using a
typical PCB with 1/16 in thick G10/FR4.
Figure 24.
8.9
θJA vs Copper Area for PPAK package
Adjustable regulator design
The LD49150 adjustable version allows fixing output voltage anywhere between 0.8V and 4.5V
using two resistors as shown in the typical application circuit. For example, to fix the R1 resistor
value between VOUT and the ADJ pin, the resistor value between ADJ and GND (R2) is
calculated by:
R2 = R1 [0.8/(VOUT - 0.8)]
Where VOUT is the desired output voltage.
It is suggested to use R1 values lower than 10KΩ to obtain better load transient performances.
Even, higher values up to 100KΩ are suitable.
8.10
Enable
The fixed output voltage versions of LD49150 feature an active high Enable input (EN) that
allows on-off control of the regulator. The EN input threshold is guaranteed between 0.4V and
1.4V, for simple logic interfacing. The regulator is set in shut down mode when VEN<0.4V and it
is in operating mode (VOUT activated) when VEN>1.4V. If not in use, the EN pin must be tied
directly to the VIN to keep the regulator continuously activated. The En pin must not be left at
high impedance.
