A capacitor (whose value is at least 4.7 μF) must be connected from the VIN pin to ground. If the input capacitor is located more than one inch away from the LP2960, the capacitor may have to be increased to 22 μF to assure stability. A capacitor is also required between VOUT and Ground, and the minimum amount of capacitance required here depends on output voltage. If the output voltage of the LP2960 is set to 5V, a minimum of 10 μF is needed in output capacitance. At 3.3V output, at least 22 μF is required to assure stability. ESR LIMIT: The ESR of the capacitor used on the LP2960 must be less than 0.7 Ω throughout the entire operating temperature range to assure stability. The ESR of an aluminum eIectroIytic capacitor is typically only specified at 25°C, and does not reflect the maximum ESR that can be expected to occur over the entire temperature range of the capacitor. Aluminum electrolytics show a marked increase in ESR at low temperatures (ESR can increase by a factor of 30 or more when going from 25°C to −30°C) which could lead to oscillation probIems in applications with very low ambient temperatures. Solid tantalum capacitors are recommended for use in such cases. Regulator instability can be caused by stray (board layout) capacitance appearing at the Feedback terminal. Oscillations from this effect are most Iikely to occur when very high value resistors are used to set the output voltage. Adding a 100 pF capacitor between the Output and Feedback pins and increasing the output capacitor to at least 22 μF will stop the osciIIations. MINIMUM LOAD The internal resistive divider in the LP2960 provides sufficient output loading for proper regulation. If external resistors are used to set the LP2960 output voltage, a minimum current of 5 μA through the externaI resistive divider is recommended. It should be noted that a minimum load current is specified in several of the test conditions listed under Electrical Characteristics, and this value of load current must be used to get correlation on these test limits. PROGRAMMING THE OUTPUT VOLTAGE The LP2960 regulator may be pin-strapped for operation at the nominal output voltage using its internal resistive divider by tying the Output and Sense pins together and also tying the Feedback and VTAP pins together. Alternatively, it may be programmed for any voltage between the 1.23V reference and the 30V maximum rating using an external pair of resistors (see Basic Application Circuit). The complete equation for the output voltage is: VOUT = VREF × (1 + R1/R2) + (IFB × R1) (1) The term VREF is the 1 .23V reference and IFB is the Feedback pin bias current (−20 nA typical). The minimum recommended load current of 5 μA sets an upper limit of 240 kΩ on the value of R2 in cases where the regulator must work with no load (see Minimum Load). For best output accuracy, choosing R2 = 100 k Ω will reduce the error resulting from IFB to 0.17% while increasing the resistive divider current to 12 μA. Since the typicaI quiescent current of the LP2960 is 450 μA, this added current through R2 is negligible. DROPOUT VOLTAGE The dropout voltage of the regulator is defined as the minimum input-to-output voltage differential required for the output voltage to stay within 100 mV of the output voltage measured with a 1V differential. The dropout voltage is independent of the programmed output voltage. Copyright © 1999–2013, Texas Instruments Incorporated Submit Documentation Feedback 11 Product Folder Links: LP2960 |
