7 Detailed Description

7.1 Overview

The LM2937 is a positive voltage regulator capable of supplying up to 500 mA of load current. The use of a PNP

power transistor provides a low dropout voltage characteristic. With a load current of 500 mA the minimum input

to output voltage differential required for the output to remain in regulation is typically 0.5 V (1 V ensured

maximum over the full operating temperature range). Special circuitry has been incorporated to minimize the

quiescent current to typically only 10 mA with a full 500-mA load current when the input to output voltage

differential is greater than 3 V.

7.2 Functional Block Diagram

7.3 Feature Description

7.3.1 Thermal Shutdown (TSD)

The Thermal Shutdown circuitry of the LM2937 has been designed to protect the device against temporary

thermal overload conditions. The TSD circuitry is not intended to replace proper heat-sinking. Continuously

running the LM2937 device at thermal shutdown may degrade device reliability as the junction temperature will

be exceeding the absolute maximum junction temperature rating.

7.3.2 Short Circuit Current Limit

The output current limiting circuitry of the LM2937 has been designed to limit the output current in cases where

the load impedance is unusually low. This includes situations where the output may be shorted directly to ground.

Continuous operation of the LM2937 at the current limit will typically result in the LM2937 transitioning into

Thermal Shutdown mode.

7.3.3 Overvoltage Shutdown (OVSD)

Input voltages greater than typically 32 V will cause the LM2937 output to be disabled. When operating with the

input voltage greater than the maximum recommended input voltage of 26 V the device performance is not

ensured. Continuous operation with the input voltage greater than the maximum recommended input voltage is

discouraged.

7.4 Device Functional Modes

The LM2937 design does not include any undervoltage lock-out (UVLO), or enable functions. Generally, the

output voltage will track the input voltage until the input voltage is greater than VOUT + 1V. When the input

voltage is greater than VOUT + 1V the LM2937 will be in linear operation, and the output voltage will be regulated;

however, the device will be sensitive to any small perturbation of the input voltage. Device dynamic performance

is improved when the input voltage is at least 2 V greater than the output voltage.

8 Application and Implementation

8.1 Application Information

Figure 18 shows the typical application circuit for the LM2937. The output capacitor, COUT, must have a

capacitance value of at least 10 µF with an ESR of at least 10 mΩ, but no more than 3 Ω. The minimum

capacitance value, and the ESR requirements apply across the entire expected operating ambient temperature

range.

8.2 Typical Application

Figure 18. LM2937 Typical Application

*Required if the regulator is located more than 3 inches from the power-supply-filter capacitors.

**Required for stability. COUT must be at least 10 µF (over full expected operating temperature range) and

located as close as possible to the regulator. The equivalent series resistance, ESR, of this capacitor may be

as high as 3 Ω.

8.2.1 Design Requirements

For this design example, use the parameters listed in Table 1:

LM2937-15 for details)

Input capacitor value 0.1 µF

Output capacitor capacitance 10 µF minimum

value

Output capacitor ESR value 0.01 Ωto 3 Ω

8.2.2 Detailed Design Procedure

8.2.2.1 External Capacitors

The output capacitor is critical to maintaining regulator stability, and must meet the required conditions for both

Equivalent Series Resistance (ESR) and minimum amount of capacitance.

Minimum Capacitance:

The minimum output capacitance required to maintain stability is 10 μF. (This value may be increased without

limit.) Larger values of output capacitance will give improved transient response.

ESR Limits:

The ESR of the output capacitor will cause loop instability if it is too high or too low. The acceptable range of

ESR plotted versus load current is shown in the graph below. It is essential that the output capacitor meet

these requirements, or oscillations can result.

SNVS100F –MARCH 2000–REVISED JULY 2014

8.2.2.2 Output Capacitor ESR

Figure 19. ESR Limits

It is important to note that for most capacitors, ESR is specified only at room temperature. However, the designer

must ensure that the ESR will stay inside the limits shown over the entire operating temperature range for the

design.

For aluminum electrolytic capacitors, ESR will increase by about 30X as the temperature is reduced from 25°C to

−40°C. This type of capacitor is not well-suited for low temperature operation.

Solid tantalum capacitors have a more stable ESR over temperature, but are more expensive than aluminum

electrolytics. A cost-effective approach sometimes used is to parallel an aluminum electrolytic with a solid

Tantalum, with the total capacitance split about 75/25% with the Aluminum being the larger value.

If two capacitors are paralleled, the effective ESR is the parallel of the two individual values. The “flatter” ESR of

the Tantalum will keep the effective ESR from rising as quickly at low temperatures.

8.2.2.3 Heatsinking

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

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

specified under Absolute Maximum Ratings.

To determine if a heatsink is required, the power dissipated by the regulator, PD, must be calculated.

Figure 20 below shows the voltages and currents which are present in the circuit, as well as the formula for

calculating the power dissipated in the regulator:

IIN = IL+ IG

PD= (VIN −VOUT) IL+ (VIN) IG

Figure 20. Power Dissipation Diagram

The next parameter which must be calculated is the maximum allowable temperature rise, TR(max). This is

calculated by using the formula:

TR(max) = TJ(max) −TA(max)

Product Folder Links: LM2937

LM2937

www.ti.com

SNVS100F –MARCH 2000–REVISED JULY 2014

where

• TJ(max) is the maximum allowable junction temperature, which is 125°C for the TO-220 and TO-263

packages, and 85°C for the SOT-223 package.

• TA(max) is the maximum ambient temperature which will be encountered in the application. (1)

Using the calculated values for TR(max) and PD, the maximum allowable value for the junction-to-ambient

thermal resistance, RθJA, can now be found:

RθJA = TR(max)/PD(2)

NOTE

IMPORTANT: If the maximum allowable value for RθJA is found to be ≥53°C/W for the

TO-220 package, ≥80°C/W for the DDPAK/TO-263 package, or ≥174°C/W for the SOT-

223 package, no heatsink is needed since the package alone will dissipate enough heat to

satisfy these requirements.

If the calculated value for R θJA falls below these limits, a heatsink is required.

8.2.2.4 Heatsinking TO-220 Package Parts

The TO-220 can be attached to a typical heatsink, or secured to a copper plane on a PC board. If a copper plane

is to be used, the values of RθJA will be the same as shown in the next section for the DDPAK/TO-263.

If a manufactured heatsink is to be selected, the value of heatsink-to-ambient thermal resistance, RθHA, must first

be calculated:

RθHA = RθJA −RθCH −RθJC

where

• RθJC is defined as the thermal resistance from the junction to the surface of the case. A value of 3°C/W can be

assumed for RθJC for this calculation

• RθCH is defined as the thermal resistance between the case and the surface of the heatsink. The value of RθCH

will vary from about 1.5°C/W to about 2.5°C/W (depending on method of attachment, insulator, etc.). If the

exact value is unknown, 2°C/W should be assumed for RθCH (3)

When a value for RθHA is found using the equation shown, a heatsink must be selected that has a value that is

less than or equal to this number.

RθHA is specified numerically by the heatsink manufacturer in the catalog, or shown in a curve that plots

temperature rise vs power dissipation for the heatsink.

8.2.2.5 Heatsinking DDPAK/TO-263 and SOT-223 Package Parts

Both the DDPAK/TO-263 and SOT-223 packages use a copper plane on the PCB and the PCB itself as a

heatsink. To optimize the heat sinking ability of the plane and PCB, solder the tab of the package to the plane.

Figure 21 shows for the DDPAK/TO-263 the measured values of RθJA for different copper area sizes using a

typical PCB with 1 ounce copper and no solder mask over the copper area used for heatsinking.

Figure 21. RθJA vs. Copper (1 ounce) Area for the DDPAK/TO-263 Package

As shown in Figure 21, increasing the copper area beyond 1 square inch produces very little improvement. It

should also be observed that the minimum value of RθJA for the DDPAK/TO-263 package mounted to a PCB is

32°C/W.

As a design aid, Figure 22 shows the maximum allowable power dissipation compared to ambient temperature

for the DDPAK/TO-263 device (assuming RθJA is 35°C/W and the maximum junction temperature is 125°C).

Figure 22. Maximum Power Dissipation vs. TAMB for the DDPAK/TO-263 Package

Figure 23 and Figure 24 show information for the SOT-223 package. Figure 24 assumes an RθJA of 74°C/W for 1

ounce copper and 51°C/W for 2 ounce copper and a maximum junction temperature of 85°C.

8.2.2.6 SOT-223 Soldering Recommendations

It is not recommended to use hand soldering or wave soldering to attach the small SOT-223 package to a printed

circuit board. The excessive temperatures involved may cause package cracking.

Either vapor phase or infrared reflow techniques are preferred soldering attachment methods for the SOT-223

package.

9 Power Supply Recommendations

This device is designed to operate from an input supply voltage from at least VOUT + 1 V up to a maximum of 26

V. The input supply should be well regulated and free of spurious noise. To ensure that the LM2937 output

voltage is well regulated the input supply should be at least VOUT + 2 V. A capacitor at the INPUT pin may not be

specifically required if the bulk input supply filter capacitors are within three inches of the INPUT pin, but adding

one will not be detrimental to operation.

10 Layout

10.1 Layout Guidelines

The dynamic performance of the LM2937 is dependent on the layout of the PCB. PCB layout practices that are

adequate for typical LDO's may degrade the PSRR, noise, or transient performance of the LM2937. Best

performance is achieved by placing CIN and COUT on the same side of the PCB as the LM2937, and as close as

is practical to the package. The ground connections for CIN and COUT should be back to the LM2937 ground pin

using as wide, and as short, of a copper trace as is practical.

Connections using long trace lengths, narrow trace widths, and/or connections through vias should be avoided

as these will add parasitic inductances and resistances that will give inferior performance, especially during

transient conditions
