Application Hints (Continued)
input, output, and ground pins of the regulator using traces
which do not have other currents flowing in them (Kelvin
connect).
The best way to do this is to lay out C
IN and COUT near the
device with short traces to the V
IN,VOUT, and ground pins.
The regulator ground pin should be connected to the exter-
nal circuit ground so that the regulator and its capacitors
have a "single point ground".
It should be noted that stability problems have been seen in
applications where "vias" to an internal ground plane were
used at the ground points of the IC and the input and output
capacitors. This was caused by varying ground potentials at
these nodes resulting from current flowing through the
ground plane. Using a single point ground technique for the
regulator and it’s capacitors fixed the problem.
Since high current flows through the traces going into V
IN
and coming from V
OUT, Kelvin connect the capacitor leads to
these pins so there is no voltage drop in series with the input
and output capacitors.
RFI/EMI SUSCEPTIBILITY
RFI (radio frequency interference) and EMI (electromagnetic
interference) can degrade any integrated circuit’s perfor-
mance because of the small dimensions of the geometries
inside the device. In applications where circuit sources are
present which generate signals with significant high fre-
quency energy content (> 1 MHz), care must be taken to
ensure that this does not affect the IC regulator.
If RFI/EMI noise is present on the input side of the regulator
(such as applications where the input source comes from the
output of a switching regulator), good ceramic bypass ca-
pacitors must be used at the input pin of the IC.
If a load is connected to the IC output which switches at high
speed (such as a clock), the high-frequency current pulses
required by the load must be supplied by the capacitors on
the IC output. Since the bandwidth of the regulator loop is
less than 100 kHz, the control circuitry cannot respond to
load changes above that frequency. This means the effective
output impedance of the IC at frequencies above 100 kHz is
determined only by the output capacitor(s).
In applications where the load is switching at high speed, the
output of the IC may need RF isolation from the load. It is
recommended that some inductance be placed between the
output capacitor and the load, and good RF bypass capaci-
tors be placed directly across the load.
PCB layout is also critical in high noise environments, since
RFI/EMI is easily radiated directly into PC traces. Noisy
circuitry should be isolated from "clean" circuits where pos-
sible, and grounded through a separate path. At MHz fre-
quencies, ground planes begin to look inductive and RFI/
EMI can cause ground bounce across the ground plane.
In multi-layer PCB applications, care should be taken in
layout so that noisy power and ground planes do not radiate
directly into adjacent layers which carry analog power and
ground.
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
decades 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
frequency 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
transistor 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, LP3871/LP3874
achieves low noise performance and low quiescent current
operation.
The total output noise specification for LP3871/LP3874 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 LP3871 and LP3874 are short circuit protected and in
the event of a peak over-current condition, the short-circuit
control 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
respond 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 LP3871/LP3874 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 flag 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 flag 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
connected 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.
