Application Hints
SETTING THE OUTPUT VOLTAGE
The output voltage is set using the resistors R1 and R2 (see
Typical Application Circuit). The output is also dependent on
the reference voltage (typically 1.216V) which is measured
at the ADJ pin. The output voltage is given by the equation:
V
OUT =VADJ x(1+R1/R2)
This equation does not include errors due to the bias current
flowing in the ADJ pin which is typically about 10 nA. This
error term is negligible for most applications. If R1 is >
100k
Ω , a small error may be introduced by the ADJ bias
current.
The tolerance of the external resistors used contributes a
significant error to the output voltage accuracy, with 1%
resistors typically adding a total error of approximately 1.4%
to the output voltage (this error is in addition to the tolerance
of the reference voltage at V
ADJ).
EXTERNAL CAPACITORS
Like any low-dropout regulator, external capacitors are re-
quired to assure stability. These capacitors must be correctly
selected for proper performance.
INPUT CAPACITOR: An input capacitor of at least 10µF is
required. Ceramic Ceramic, Tantalum, or Electrolytic capaci-
tors may be used, and capacitance may be increased with-
out limit
OUTPUT CAPACITOR: An output capacitor is required for
loop stability. It must be located less than 1 cm from the
device and connected directly to the output and ground pins
using traces which have no other currents flowing through
them (see PCB Layout section).
The minimum value of output capacitance that can be used
for stable full-load operation is 10µF, but it may be increased
without limit. The output capacitor must have an ESR value
as shown in the stable region of the curve below. Tantalum
capacitors are recommended for the output capacitor.

C
FF (Feed Forward Capacitor)
The capacitor C
FF is required to add phase lead and help
improve loop compensation. The correct amount of capaci-
tance depends on the value selected for R1 (see Typical
Application Circuit). The capacitor should be selected such
that the zero frequency as given by the equation shown
below is approximately 45 kHz:
Fz = 45,000=1/(2x
π xR1xC
FF )
A good quality ceramic with X5R or X7R dielectric should be
used for this capacitor.
SELECTING A CAPACITOR
It is important to note that capacitance tolerance and varia-
tion with temperature must be taken into consideration when
selecting a capacitor so that the minimum required amount
of capacitance is provided over the full operating tempera-
ture range. In general, a good Tantalum capacitor will show
very little capacitance variation with temperature, but a ce-
ramic may not be as good (depending on dielectric type).
Aluminum electrolytics also typically have large temperature
variation of capacitance value.
Equally important to consider is a capacitor’s ESR change
with temperature: this is not an issue with ceramics, as their
ESR is extremely low. However, it is very important in Tan-
talum and aluminum electrolytic capacitors. Both show in-
creasing ESR at colder temperatures, but the increase in
aluminum electrolytic capacitors is so severe they may not
be feasible for some applications (see Capacitor Character-
istics Section).
CAPACITOR CHARACTERISTICS
CERAMIC: For values of capacitance in the 10 to 100 µF
range, ceramics are usually larger and more costly than
tantalums but give superior AC performance for bypassing
high frequency noise because of very low ESR (typically less
than 10 m
Ω). However, some dielectric types do not have
good capacitance characteristics as a function of voltage
and temperature.
Z5U and Y5V dielectric ceramics have capacitance that
drops severely with applied voltage. A typical Z5U or Y5V
capacitor can lose 60% of its rated capacitance with half of
the rated voltage applied to it. The Z5U and Y5V also exhibit
a severe temperature effect, losing more than 50% of nomi-
nal capacitance at high and low limits of the temperature
range.
X7R and X5R dielectric ceramic capacitors are strongly rec-
ommended if ceramics are used, as they typically maintain a
capacitance range within ±20% of nominal over full operat-
ing ratings of temperature and voltage. Of course, they are
typically larger and more costly than Z5U/Y5U types for a
given voltage and capacitance.
TANTALUM: Solid Tantalum capacitors are recommended
for use on the output because their typical ESR is very close
to the ideal value required for loop compensation. They also
work well as input capacitors if selected to meet the ESR
requirements previously listed.
Tantalums also have good temperature stability: a good
quality Tantalum will typically show a capacitance value that
varies less than 10-15% across the full temperature range of
125˚C to −40˚C. ESR will vary only about 2X going from the
high to low temperature limits.
The increasing ESR at lower temperatures can cause oscil-
lations when marginal quality capacitors are used (if the ESR
of the capacitor is near the upper limit of the stability range at
room temperature).
ALUMINUM: This capacitor type offers the most capaci-
tance for the money. The disadvantages are that they are
larger in physical size, not widely available in surface mount,
and have poor AC performance (especially at higher fre-
quencies) due to higher ESR and ESL.
