cs5253?1 http://onsemi.com 7 applications notes theory of operation the cs5253?1 linear regulator provides adjustable voltages from 1.26 v to 5.0 v at currents up to 3.0 a. the regulator is protected against short circuits, and includes a thermal shutdown circuit with hysteresis. the output, which is current limited, consists of a pnp?npn transistor pair and requires an output capacitor for stability. a detailed procedure for selecting this capacitor is included in the stability considerations section. v power function the cs5253?1 utilizes a two supply approach to maximize efficiency. the collector of the power device is brought out to the v power pin to minimize internal power dissipation under high current loads. v control provides for the control circuitry and the drive for the output npn transistor. v control should be at least 1.0 v greater than the output voltage. special care has been taken to ensure that there are no supply sequencing problems. the output voltage will not turn on until both supplies are operating. if the control voltage comes up first, the output current will be limited to about three milliamperes until the power input voltage comes up. if the power input voltage comes up first, the output will not turn on at all until the control voltage comes up. the output can never come up unregulated. the cs5253?1 can also be used as a single supply device with the control and power inputs tied together. in this mode, the dropout will be determined by the minimum control voltage. output voltage sensing the cs5253?1 five terminal linear regulator includes a dedicated v sense function. this allows for true kelvin sensing of the output voltage. this feature can virtually eliminate errors in the output voltage due to load regulation. regulation will be optimized at the point where the sense pin is tied to the output. design guidelines adjustable operation this ldo adjustable regulator has an output voltage range of 1.26 v to 5.0 v. an external resistor divider sets the output voltage as shown in figure 19. the regulator's voltage sensing error amplifier maintains a fixed 1.260 v reference between the output pin and the adjust pin. figure 19. typical application schematic. the resistor divider sets v out , with the internal 1.260 v reference dropped across r1. cs5253?1 v control v power v out v sense adjust r2 r1 5.0 v 3.3 v 2.5 v @ 3.0 a a resistor divider network r1 and r2 causes a fixed current to flow to ground. this current creates a voltage across r2 that adds to the 1.260 v across r1 and sets the overall output voltage. the adjust pin current (typically 50 a) also flows through r2 and adds a small error that should be taken into account if precise adjustment of v out is necessary. the output voltage is set according to the formula: v out 1.260 v r1 r2 r1 r2 i adj the term i adj r2 represents the error added by the adjust pin current. r1 is chosen so that the minimum load current is at least 10 ma. r1 and r2 should be of the same composition for best tracking over temperature. the divider resistors should be placed physically as close to the load as possible. while not required, a bypass capacitor connected between the adjust pin and ground will improve transient response and ripple rejection. a 0.1 f tantalum capacitor is recommended for afirst cuto design. value and type may be varied to optimize performance vs. price. other adjustable operation considerations the cs5253?1 linear regulator has an absolute maximum specification of 6.0 v for the voltage difference between v power and v out . however, the ic may be used to regulate voltages in excess of 6.0 v. the two main
cs5253?1 http://onsemi.com 8 considerations in such a design are the sequencing of power supplies and short circuit capability. power supply sequencing should be such that the v control supply is brought up coincidentally with or before the v power supply. this allows the ic to begin charging the output capacitor as soon as the v power to v out differential is large enough that the pass transistor conducts. as v power increases, the pass transistor will remain in dropout, and current is passed to the load until v out is in regulation. further increase in the supply voltage brings the pass transistor out of dropout. in this manner, any output voltage less than 13 v may be regulated, provided the v power to v out differential is less than 6.0 v. in the case where v control and v power are shorted, there is no theoretical limit to the regulated voltage as long as the v power to v out differential of 6.0 v is not exceeded. there is a possibility of damaging the ic when v power ? v out is greater than 6.0 v if a short circuit occurs. short circuit conditions will result in the immediate operation of the pass transistor outside of its safe operating area. overvoltage stresses will then cause destruction of the pass transistor before overcurrent or thermal shutdown circuitry can become active. additional circuitry may be required to clamp the v power to v out differential to less than 6.0 v if fail safe operation is required. one possible clamp circuit is illustrated in figure 20; however, the design of clamp circuitry must be done on an application by application basis. care must be taken to ensure the clamp actually protects the design. components used in the clamp design must be able to withstand the short circuit condition indefinitely while protecting the ic. figure 20. this circuit is an example of how the cs5253?1 can be short?circuit protected when operating with v out > 6.0 v v control v power v sense v out v adj external supply external supply cs5253?1 stability considerations the output compensation capacitor helps determine three main characteristics of a linear regulator: loop stability, start?up delay, and load transient response. different capacitor types vary widely in tolerance, equivalent series resistance (esr), equivalent series inductance (esi), and variation over temperature. tantalum and aluminum electrolytic capacitors work best, with electrolytic capacitors being less expensive in general, but varying more in capacitor value and esr over temperature. the cs5253?1 requires an output capacitor to guarantee loop stability. the stability vs esr graph in the typical performance section shows the minimum esr needed to guarantee stability, but under ideal conditions. these include: having v out connected to v sense directly at the ic pins; the compensation capacitor located right at the pins with a minimum lead length; the adjust feedback resistor divider ground, (bottom of r2 in figure 19), connected right at the capacitor ground; and with power supply decoupling capacitors located close to the ic pins. the actual performance will vary greatly with board layout for each application. in particular, the use of the remote sensing feature will require a larger capacitor with less esr. for most applications, a minimum of 33 f tantalum or 150 f aluminum electrolytic, with an esr less than 1.0 over temperature, is recommended. larger capacitors and lower esr will improve stability. the load transient response, during the time it takes the regulator to respond, is also determined by the output capacitor. for large changes in load current, the esr of the output capacitor causes an immediate drop in output voltage given by: v i esr there is then an additional drop in output voltage given by: v i t c where t is the time for the regulation loop to begin to respond. the very fast transient response time of the cs5253?1 allows the esr effect to dominate. for microprocessor applications, it is customary to use an output capacitor network consisting of several tantalum and ceramic capacitors in parallel. this reduces the overall esr and reduces the instantaneous output voltage drop under transient load conditions. the output capacitor network should be as close to the load as possible for the best transient response. protection diodes when large external capacitors are used with a linear regulator, it is sometimes necessary to add protection diodes. if the input voltage of the regulator gets shorted, the output capacitor will discharge into the output of the regulator. the discharge current depends on the value of the capacitor, the output voltage, and the rate at which v control drops. in the cs5253?1 regulator, the discharge path is through a large junction and protection diodes are not usually needed. if the regulator is used with large values of output capacitance and the input voltage is instantaneously shorted to ground, damage can occur. in this case, a diode connected as shown in figure 21 is recommended.
cs5253?1 http://onsemi.com 9 figure 21. diode protection circuit cs5253?1 v control v power v out v sense adjust a rule of thumb useful in determining if a protection diode is required is to solve for current: i c v t where: i is the current flow out of the load capacitance when v control is shorted, c is the value of load capacitance v is the output voltage, and t is the time duration required for v control to transition from high to being shorted. if the calculated current is greater than or equal to the typical short circuit current value provided in the specifications, serious thought should be given to the use of a protection diode. current limit the internal current limit circuit limits the output current under excessive load conditions. short circuit protection the device includes short circuit protection circuitry that clamps the output current at approximately 500 ma less than its current limit value. this provides for a current foldback function, which reduces power dissipation under a direct shorted load. thermal shutdown the thermal shutdown circuitry is guaranteed by design to activate above a die junction temperature of approximately 150 c and to shut down the regulator output. this circuitry has 25 c of typical hysteresis, thereby allowing the regulator to recover from a thermal fault automatically. calculating power dissipation and heat sink requirements high power regulators such as the cs5253?1 usually operate at high junction temperatures. therefore, it is important to calculate the power dissipation and junction temperatures accurately to ensure that an adequate heat sink is used. since the package tab is connected to v out on the cs5253?1, electrical isolation may be required for some applications. also, as with all high power packages, thermal compound in necessary to ensure proper heat flow. for added safety, this high current ldo includes an internal thermal shutdown circuit the thermal characteristics of an ic depend on the following four factors: junction temperature, ambient temperature, die power dissipation, and the thermal resistance from the die junction?to?ambient air. the maximum junction temperature can be determined by: t j(max) t a(max) pd (max) r ja the maximum ambient temperature and the power dissipation are determined by the design while the maximum junction temperature and the thermal resistance depend on the manufacturer and the package type. the maximum power dissipation for a regulator is: pd (max) ( v in(max) v out(min) ) i out(max) v in(max) i q a heat sink effectively increases the surface area of the package to improve the flow of heat away from the ic and into the surrounding air. each material in the heat flow path between the ic and the outside environment has a thermal resistance which is measured in degrees per watt. like series electrical resistances, these thermal resistances are summed to determine the total thermal resistance between the die junction and the surrounding air, r ja . this total thermal resistance is comprised of three components. these resistive terms are measured from junction to case (r jc ), case to heat sink (r cs ), and heat sink to ambient air (r sa ). the equation is: r ja r jc r cs r sa the value for r jc is 2.5 c/watt for the cs5253?1 in the d 2 pak?5 package. for a high current regulator such as the cs5253?1 the majority of heat is generated in the power transistor section. the value for r sa depends on the heat sink type, while the r cs depends on factors such as package type, heat sink interface (is an insulator and thermal grease used?), and the contact area between the heat sink and the package. once these calculations are complete, the maximum permissible value of r ja can be calculated and the proper heat sink selected. for further discussion on heat sink selection, see our application note athermal management,o document number and8036/d, available through the literature distribution center or via our website at http://www.onsemi.com.
