(1) Absolute maximum ratings indicate limits beyond which damage to the device may occur. Operating ratings indicate conditions for which

the device is intended to be functional, but does not ensure specific performance limits. For ensured specifications and test conditions,

see Electrical Characteristics. The ensured specifications apply only for the test conditions listed. Some performance characteristics may

degrade when the device is not operated under the listed test conditions.

(2) The human body model is a 100pF capacitor discharged through a 1.5kΩresistor into each pin.

(3) At elevated temperatures, devices must be derated based on package thermal resistance. The devices in TO220 package must be

derated at θjA = 50°C/W (with 0.5in2, 1oz. copper area), junction-to-ambient (with no heat sink). The devices in the TO263 surface-

mount package must be derated at θjA = 60°C/W (with 0.5in2, 1oz. copper area), junction-to-ambient. See Application Hints.

(4) If used in a dual-supply system where the regulator load is returned to a negative supply, the output must be diode-clamped to ground.

(5) The output PMOS structure contains a diode between the VIN and VOUT terminals. This diode is normally reverse biased. This diode will

get forward biased if the voltage at the output terminal is forced to be higher than the voltage at the input terminal. This diode can

typically withstand 200mA of DC current and 1Amp of peak current.

APPLICATION INFORMATION

Application Hints

EXTERNAL CAPACITORS

Like any low-dropout regulator, external capacitors are required to assure stability. These capacitors must be

correctly selected for proper performance.

INPUT CAPACITOR: An input capacitor of at least 10µF is required. Ceramic or Tantalum may be used, and

capacitance may be increased without 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 amount of output capacitance that can be used for stable operation is 10µF. For general usage

across all load currents and operating conditions, the part was characterized using a 10µF Tantalum input

capacitor. The minimum and maximum stable ESR range for the output capacitor was then measured which kept

the device stable, assuming any output capacitor whose value is greater than 10µF (see Figure 28 below).

Figure 28. ESR Curve for COUT (with 10µF Tantalum Input Capacitor)

It should be noted that it is possible to operate the part with an output capacitor whose ESR is below these limits,

assuming that sufficient ceramic input capacitance is provided. This will allow stable operation using ceramic

output capacitors (see next section).

OPERATION WITH CERAMIC OUTPUT CAPACITORS

LP385X voltage regulators can operate with ceramic output capacitors if the values of input and output

capacitors are selected appropriately. The total ceramic output capacitance must be equal to or less than a

specified maximum value in order for the regulator to remain stable over all operating conditions. This maximum

amount of ceramic output capacitance is dependent upon the amount of ceramic input capacitance used as well

as the load current of the application. This relationship is shown in Figure 29, which graphs the maximum stable

value of ceramic output capacitance as a function of ceramic input capacitance for load currents of 1A, 2A, and

3A. For example, if the maximum load current is 1A, a 10µF ceramic input capacitor will allow stable operation

for values of ceramic output capacitance from 10µF up to about 500µF.

Figure 29. Maximum Ceramic Output Capacitance vs Ceramic Input Capacitance

If the maximum load current is 2A and a 10µF ceramic input capacitor is used, the regulator will be stable with

ceramic output capacitor values from 10µF up to about 50µF. At 3A of load current, the ratio of input to output

capacitance required approaches 1:1, meaning that whatever amount of ceramic output capacitance is used

must also be provided at the input for stable operation. For load currents between 1A, 2A, and 3A, interpolation

may be used to approximate values on the graph. When calculating the total ceramic output capacitance present

in an application, it is necessary to include any ceramic bypass capacitors connected to the regulator output.

SELECTING A CAPACITOR

It is important to note that capacitance tolerance and variation 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 temperature range. In general, a good Tantalum capacitor will show very little capacitance variation

with temperature, but a ceramic 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 Tantalum and aluminum electrolytic capacitors.

Both show increasing ESR at colder temperatures, but the increase in aluminum electrolytic capacitors is so

severe they may not be feasible for some applications (see Capacitor Characteristics 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 mΩ). 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 nominal capacitance at high and low limits of

the temperature range.

X7R and X5R dielectric ceramic capacitors are strongly recommended if ceramics are used, as they typically

maintain a capacitance range within ±20% of nominal over full operating 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 typically recommended for use on the output because their ESR is

very close to the ideal value required for loop compensation.

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.

Product Folder Links: LP3853 LP3856

LP3853, LP3856

SNVS173G –FEBRUARY 2003–REVISED APRIL 2013

www.ti.com

The increasing ESR at lower temperatures can cause oscillations 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 capacitance 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 frequencies) due to higher ESR and ESL.

Compared by size, the ESR of an aluminum electrolytic is higher than either Tantalum or ceramic, and it also

varies greatly with temperature. A typical aluminum electrolytic can exhibit an ESR increase of as much as 50X

when going from 25°C down to −40°C.

It should also be noted that many aluminum electrolytics only specify impedance at a frequency of 120 Hz, which

indicates they have poor high frequency performance. Only aluminum electrolytics that have an impedance

specified at a higher frequency (between 20 kHz and 100 kHz) should be used for the LP385X. Derating must be

applied to the manufacturer's ESR specification, since it is typically only valid at room temperature.

Any applications using aluminum electrolytics should be thoroughly tested at the lowest ambient operating

temperature where ESR is maximum.

TURN-ON CHARACTERISTICS FOR OUTPUT VOLTAGES PROGRAMMED TO 2.0V OR BELOW

As Vin increases during start-up, the regulator output will track the input until Vin reaches the minimum operating

voltage (typically about 2.2V). For output voltages programmed to 2.0V or below, the regulator output may

momentarily exceed its programmed output voltage during start up. Outputs programmed to voltages above 2.0V

are not affected by this behavior.

PCB LAYOUT

Good PC layout practices must be used or instability can be induced because of ground loops and voltage drops.

The input and output capacitors must be directly connected to the 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 CIN and COUT near the device with short traces to the VIN, VOUT, and ground

pins. The regulator ground pin should be connected to the external 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 VIN and coming from VOUT, 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

performance because of the small dimensions of the geometries inside the device. In applications where circuit

sources are present which generate signals with significant high frequency 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 capacitors 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 capacitors be placed directly across the load.

Product Folder Links: LP3853 LP3856

LP3853, LP3856

www.ti.com

SNVS173G –FEBRUARY 2003–REVISED APRIL 2013

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 possible, and grounded through a separate path. At

MHz frequencies, 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 specific frequency (measured with a 1Hz bandwidth). This type of noise is usually plotted on a curve as a

function of frequency.

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, LP3853/LP3856 achieves

low noise performance and low quiescent current operation.

The total output noise specification for LP3853/LP3856 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 LP3853 and LP3856 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 LP3853/LP3856 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 30 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 10kΩto 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.

SENSE PIN

In applications where the regulator output is not very close to the load, LP3856 can provide better remote load

regulation using the SENSE pin. Figure 31 depicts the advantage of the SENSE option. LP3853 regulates the

voltage at the output pin. Hence, the voltage at the remote load will be the regulator output voltage minus the

drop across the trace resistance. For example, in the case of a 3.3V output, if the trace resistance is 100mΩ, the

voltage at the remote load will be 3V with 3A of load current, ILOAD. The LP3856 regulates the voltage at the

sense pin. Connecting the sense pin to the remote load will provide regulation at the remote load, as shown in

Figure 31. If the sense option pin is not required, the sense pin must be connected to the VOUT pin.

SNVS173G –FEBRUARY 2003–REVISED APRIL 2013

SHUTDOWN OPERATION

A CMOS Logic low level signal at the Shutdown (SD) pin will turn-off the regulator. Pin SD must be actively

terminated through a 10kΩpull-up resistor for a proper operation. If this pin is driven from a source that actively

pulls high and low (such as a CMOS rail to rail comparator), the pull-up resistor is not required. This pin must be

tied to Vin if not used.

The Shutdown (SD) pin threshold has no voltage hysteresis. If the Shutdown pin is actively driven, the voltage

transition must rise and fall cleanly and promptly.

DROPOUT VOLTAGE

The dropout voltage of a regulator is defined as the minimum input-to-output differential required to stay within

2% of the nominal output voltage. For CMOS LDOs, the dropout voltage is the product of the load current and

the Rds(on) of the internal MOSFET.

REVERSE CURRENT PATH

The internal MOSFET in LP3853 and LP3856 has an inherent parasitic diode. During normal operation, the input

voltage is higher than the output voltage and the parasitic diode is reverse biased. However, if the output is

pulled above the input in an application, then current flows from the output to the input as the parasitic diode gets

forward biased. The output can be pulled above the input as long as the current in the parasitic diode is limited to

200mA continuous and 1A peak.

POWER DISSIPATION/HEATSINKING

LP3853 and LP3856 can deliver a continuous current of 3A over the full operating temperature range. A heatsink

may be required depending on the maximum power dissipation and maximum ambient temperature of the

application. Under all possible conditions, the junction temperature must be within the range specified under

operating conditions. The total power dissipation of the device is given by:

PD= (VIN−VOUT)IOUT+ (VIN)IGND

where IGND is the operating ground current of the device (specified under Electrical Characteristics).

The maximum allowable temperature rise (TRmax) depends on the maximum ambient temperature (TAmax) of the

application, and the maximum allowable junction temperature (TJmax):

TRmax = TJmax−TAmax

The maximum allowable value for junction to ambient Thermal Resistance, θJA, can be calculated using the

formula:

θJA = TRmax / PD

LP3853 and LP3856 are available in TO-220 and TO-263 packages. The thermal resistance depends on amount

of copper area or heat sink, and on air flow. If the maximum allowable value of θJA calculated above is ≥60 °C/W

for TO-220 package and ≥60 °C/W for TO-263 package no heatsink is needed since the package can dissipate

enough heat to satisfy these requirements. If the value for allowable θJA falls below these limits, a heat sink is

required.

HEATSINKING TO-220 PACKAGE

The thermal resistance of a TO220 package can be reduced by attaching it to a heat sink or a copper plane on a

PC board. If a copper plane is to be used, the values of θJA will be same as shown in next section for TO263

package.

The heatsink to be used in the application should have a heatsink to ambient thermal resistance,

θHA≤ θJA − θCH − θJC.

In this equation, θCH is the thermal resistance from the case to the surface of the heat sink and θJC is the thermal

resistance from the junction to the surface of the case. θJC is about 3°C/W for a TO220 package. The value for

θCH depends on method of attachment, insulator, etc. θCH varies between 1.5°C/W to 2.5°C/W. If the exact value

is unknown, 2°C/W can be assumed.

HEATSINKING TO-263 PACKAGE

The TO-263 package uses the copper plane on the PCB as a heatsink. The tab of these packages are soldered

to the copper plane for heat sinking. Figure 32 shows a curve for the θJA of TO-263 package for different copper

area sizes, using a typical PCB with 1 ounce copper and no solder mask over the copper area for heat sinking.

Figure 32. θJA vs Copper (1 Ounce) Area for TO-263 package

As shown in the figure, increasing the copper area beyond 1 square inch produces very little improvement. The

minimum value for θJA for the TO-263 package mounted to a PCB is 32°C/W.

Figure 33 shows the maximum allowable power dissipation for TO-263 packages for different ambient

temperatures, assuming θJA is 35°C/W and the maximum junction temperature is 125°C.
