Applications Information
Input Capacitor Selection
The LP3963 and LP3966 require a minimum input capaci-
tance of 10µF between the input and ground pins to prevent
any impedance interactions with the supply. This capacitor
should be located very close to the V
IN pin. This capacitor
can be of any type such as ceramic, tantalum, or low ESR
aluminium. Any good quality capacitor which has good toler-
ance over temperature and frequency is recommended.
Output Capacitor Selection
The LP3963 and LP3966 require a minimum of 10µF capaci-
tance between the output and ground pins for proper opera-
tion. LP3963 and LP3966 work best with Tantalum or Elec-
trolytic capacitor. The output capacitor should have a good
tolerance over temperature, voltage, and frequency. Larger
capacitance provides better improved load dynamics and
noise performance. The output capacitor should be con-
nected very close to the Vout pin.
Output Adjustment
An adjustable output device has output voltage range of
1.215V to 5.1V. To obtain a desired output voltage, the fol-
lowing equation can be used with R1 always a 10k
Ω resistor.
For output stability, C
F must be between 68pF and 100pF.
Output Noise
Noise is specified in two ways-
Spot Noise or Output noise density is the RMS sum of all
noise sources, measured at the regulator output, at a spe-
cific frequency (measured with a 1Hz bandwidth). This type
of noise is usually plotted on a curve as a function of fre-
quency.
Total output Noise or Broad-band noise is the RMS sum
of spot noise over a specified bandwidth, usually several de-
cades of frequencies.
Attention should be paid to the units of measurement. Spot
noise is measured in units µV/
Hz or nV/Hz and total output
noise is measured in µV(rms).
The primary source of noise in low-dropout regulators is the
internal reference. In CMOS regulators, noise has a low fre-
quency component and a high frequency component, which
depend strongly on the silicon area and quiescent current.
Noise can be reduced in two ways: by increasing the transis-
tor area or by increasing the current drawn by the internal
reference. Increasing the area will decrease the chance of
fitting the die into a smaller package. Increasing the current
drawn by the internal reference increases the total supply
current (ground pin current). Using an optimized trade-off of
ground pin current and die size, LP3963/LP3966 achieves
low noise performance and low quiescent current operation.
The total output noise specification for LP3963/LP3966 is
presented in the Electrical Characteristics table. The Output
noise density at different frequencies is represented by a
curve under typical performance characteristics.
Short-Circuit Protection
The LP3963and LP3966 is short circuit protected and in the
event of a peak over-current condition, the short-circuit con-
trol loop will rapidly drive the output PMOS pass element off.
Once the power pass element shuts down, the control loop
will rapidly cycle the output on and off until the average
power dissipation causes the thermal shutdown circuit to re-
spond to servo the on/off cycling to a lower frequency.
Please refer to the section on thermal information for power
dissipation calculations.
Error Flag Operation
The LP3963/LP3966 produces a logic low signal at the Error
Flag pin when the output drops out of regulation due to low
input voltage, current limiting, or thermal limiting. This flag
has a built in hysteresis. The timing diagram in
Figure 1
shows the relationship between the ERROR and the output
voltage. In this example, the input voltage is changed to
demonstrate the functionality of the Error Flag.
The internal Error flag comparator has an open drain output
stage. Hence, the ERROR pin should be pulled high through
a pull up resistor. Although the ERROR pin can sink current
of 1mA, this current is energy drain from the input supply.
Hence, the value of the pull up resistor should be in the
range of 10k
Ω to 1MΩ. The ERROR pin must be con-
nected to ground if this function is not used. It should
also be noted that when the shutdown pin is pulled low, the
ERROR pin is forced to be invalid for reasons of saving
power in shutdown mode.
