LP2954/LP2954A
5V and Adjustable Micropower Low-Dropout Voltage
Regulators
General Description
The LP2954 is a 5V micropower voltage regulator with very
low quiescent current (90 µA typical at 1 mA load) and very
low dropout voltage (typically 60 mV at light loads and
470 mV at 250 mA load current).
The quiescent current increases only slightly at dropout
(120 µA typical), which prolongs battery life.
The LP2954 with a fixed 5V output is available in the three-
lead TO-220 and TO-263 packages. The adjustable LP2954
is provided in an 8-lead surface mount, small outline pack-
age. The adjustable version also provides a resistor network
which can be pin strapped to set the output to 5V.
Reverse battery protection is provided.
The tight line and load regulation (0.04% typical), as well as
very low output temperature coefficient make the LP2954
well suited for use as a low-power voltage reference.
Output accuracy is guaranteed at both room temperature
and over the entire operating temperature range.

Electrical Characteristics (Continued)
Note 1: Absolute maximum ratings indicate limits beyond which damage to the component may occur. Electrical specifications do not apply when operating the
device outside of its rated operating conditions.
Note 2: The maximum allowable power dissipation is a function of the maximum junction temperature, TJ(MAX), the junction-to-ambient thermal resistance, θJ-A,
and the ambient temperature, TA. The maximum allowable power dissipation at any ambient temperature is calculated using:
.
Exceeding the maximum allowable power dissipation will result in excessive die temperature, and the regulator will go into thermal shutdown. The junction-to-
ambient thermal resistance of the TO-220 (without heatsink) is 60˚C/W, 73˚C/W for the TO-263, and 160˚C/W for the SO-8. If the TO-263 package is used, the
thermal resistance can be reduced by increasing the P.C. board copper area thermally connected to the package: Using 0.5 square inches of copper area, θJA is
50˚C/W; with 1 square inch of copper area, θJA is 37˚C/W; and with 1.6 or more square inches of copper area, θJA is 32˚C/W. The junction-to-case thermal resistance
is 3˚C/W. If an external heatsink is used, the effective junction-to-ambient thermal resistance is the sum of the junction-to-case resistance (3˚C/W), the specified
thermal resistance of the heatsink selected, and the thermal resistance of the interface between the heatsink and the LP2954. Some typical values are listed for
interface materials used with TO-220:

Note 3: Output voltage temperature coefficient is defined as the worst case voltage change divided by the total temperature range.
Note 4: Regulation is measured at constant junction temperature using low duty cycle pulse testing. Parts are tested separately for load regulation in the load
ranges 0.1 mA–1 mA and 1 mA–250 mA. Changes in output voltage due to heating effects are covered by the thermal regulation specification.
Note 5: Dropout voltage is defined as the input to output differential at which the output voltage drops 100 mV below the value measured with a 1V differential.
Note 6: Ground pin current is the regulator quiescent current. The total current drawn from the source is the sum of the load current plus the ground pin current.
Note 7: Thermal regulation is defined as the change in output voltage at a time T after a change in power dissipation is applied, excluding load or line regulation
effects. Specifications are for 200 mA load pulse at VIN = 20V (3W pulse) for T = 10 ms.
Note 8: When used in dual-supply systems where the regulator load is returned to a negative supply, the output voltage must be diode-clamped to ground.
Note 9: Connect a 0.1µF capacitor from the output to the feedback pin.
Note 10: VREFVOUT(VIN−1V), 2.3VVIN30V, 100µAIL250mA.
Note 11: Two seperate tests are performed, one covering VIN=2.5V to VO(NOM)+1V and the other test for VIN=2.5V to VO(NOM)+1V to 30V.
Note 12: VSHUTDOWN1.1V, VOUT=VO(NOM).
Note 13: Comparator thresholds are expressed in terms of a voltage differential at the Feedback terminal below the nominal reference voltage measured at
VIN=VO(NOM)+1V. To express these thresholds in terms of output voltage change, multiply by the Error amplifier gain, which is VOUT/VREF=(R1+R2)/R2.

EXTERNAL CAPACITORS
A 2.2 µF (or greater) capacitor is required between the
output pin and the ground to assure stability (refer to Figure
1). Without this capacitor, the part may oscillate. Most types
of tantalum or aluminum electrolytics will work here. Film
types will work, but are more expensive. Many aluminum
electrolytics contain electrolytes which freeze at −30˚C,
which requires the use of solid tantalums below −25˚C. The
important parameters of the capacitor are an ESR of about
5or less and a resonant frequency above 500 kHz (the
ESR may increase by a factor of 20 or 30 as the temperature
is reduced from 25˚C to −30˚C). The value of this capacitor
may be increased without limit. At lower values of output
current, less output capacitance is required for stability. The
capacitor can be reduced to 0.68 µF for currents below
10 mA or 0.22 µF for currents below 1 mA.
A 1 µF capacitor should be placed from the input pin to
ground if there is more than 10 inches of wire between the
input and the AC filter capacitor or if a battery input is used.
Programming the output for voltages below 5V runs the error
amplifier at lower gains requiring more output capacitance
for stability. At 3.3V output, a minimum of 4.7 µF is required.
For the worst case condition of 1.23V output and 250 mA of
load current, a 6.8 µF (or larger) capacitor should be used.
Stray capacitance to the Feedback terminal can cause insta-
bility. This problem is most likely to appear when using high
value external resistors to set the output voltage. Adding a
100 pF capacitor between the Output and Feedback pins
and increasing the output capacitance to 6.8 µF (or greater)
will cure the problem.
MINIMUM LOAD
When setting the output voltage using an external resistive
divider, a minimum current of 1 µA is recommended through
the resistors to provide a minimum load.
It should be noted that a minimum load current is specified in
several of the electrical characteristic test conditions, so this
value must be used to obtain correlation on these tested
limits. The part is parametrically tested down to 100 µA, but
is functional with no load.

Application Hints (Continued)
DROPOUT VOLTAGE
The dropout voltage of the regulator is defined as the mini-
mum input-to-output voltage differential required for the out-
put voltage to stay within 100 mV of the output voltage
measured with a 1V differential. The dropout voltages for
various values of load current are listed under Electrical
Characteristics.
If the regulator is powered from a rectified AC source with a
capacitive filter, the minimum AC line voltage and maximum
load current must be used to calculate the minimum voltage
at the input of the regulator. The minimum input voltage,
including AC ripple on the filter capacitor , must not drop
below the voltage required to keep the LP2954 in regulation.
It is also advisable to verify operating at minimum operating
ambient temperature, since the increasing ESR of the filter
capacitor makes this a worst-case test for dropout voltage
due to increased ripple amplitude.
HEATSINK REQUIREMENTS
A heatsink may be required with the LP2954 depending on
the maximum power dissipation and maximum ambient tem-
perature 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 maximum power
dissipated by the regulator, P(max), must be calculated. It is
important to remember that if the regulator is powered from
a transformer connected to the AC line, the maximum
specified AC input voltage must be used (since this pro-
duces the maximum DC input voltage to the regulator).
Figure 1 shows the voltages and currents which are present
in the circuit. The formula for calculating the power dissi-
pated in the regulator is also shown in Figure 1.
The next parameter which must be calculated is the maxi-
mum allowable temperature rise, T
R
(max). This is calculated
by using the formula:
T
R
(max) = T
J
(max) T
A
(max)
where: T
J
(max) is the maximum allowable junction
temperature
T
A
(max) is the maximum ambient temperature
Using the calculated values for T
R
(max) and P(max), the
required value for junction-to-ambient thermal resistance,
θ
(J-A)
, can now be found:
θ
(J-A)
=T
R
(max)/P(max)
If the calculated value is 60˚ C/W or higher , the regulator
may be operated without an external heatsink. If the calcu-
lated value is below 60˚ C/W, an external heatsink is re-
quired. The required thermal resistance for this heatsink can
be calculated using the formula:
θ
(H-A)
=θ
(J-A)
θ
(J-C)
θ
(C-H)
where:
θ
(J-C)
is the junction-to-case thermal resistance, which is
specified as C/W maximum for the LP2954.
θ
(C-H)
is the case-to-heatsink thermal resistance, which is
dependent on the interfacing material (if used). For details
and typical values, refer to (Note 2) listed at the end of the
ELECTRICAL CHARACTERISTICS section.
θ
(H-A)
is the heatsink-to-ambient thermal resistance. It is this
specification (listed on the heatsink manufacturers data
sheet) which defines the effectiveness of the heatsink. The
heatsink selected must have a thermal resistance which is
equal to or lower than the value of θ
(H-A)
calculated from the
above listed formula.
PROGRAMMING THE OUTPUT VOLTAGE
The regulator may be pin-strapped for 5V operation using its
internal resistive divider by tying the Output and Sense pins
together and also tying the Feedback and 5V Tap 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 Figure 2). The complete equa-
tion for the output voltage is:
where V
REF
is the 1.23V reference and I
FB
is the Feedback
pin bias current (−20 nA typical). The minimum recom-
mended load current of 1 µA sets an upper limit of 1.2 Mon
the value of R2 in cases where the regulator must work with
no load (see MINIMUM LOAD ). I
FB
will produce a typical 2%
error in V
OUT
which can be eliminated at room temperature
by trimming R1. For better accuracy, choosing R2 = 100 k
will reduce this error to 0.17% while increasing the resistor
program current to 12 µA. Since the typical quiescent current
is 120 µA, this added current is negligible.

DROPOUT DETECTION COMPARATOR
This comparator produces a logic “LOW” whenever the out-
put falls out of regulation by more than about 5%. This figure
results from the comparator’s built-in offset of 60 mV divided
by the 1.23V reference (refer to block diagrams on page 1).
The 5% low trip level remains constant regardless of the
programmed output voltage. An out-of-regulation condition
can result from low input voltage, current limiting, or thermal
limiting.
Figure 3 gives a timing diagram showing the relationship
between the output voltage, the ERROR output, and input
voltage as the input voltage is ramped up and down to a
regulator programmed for 5V output. The ERROR signal
becomes low at about 1.3V input. It goes high at about 5V
input, where the output equals 4.75V. Since the dropout
voltage is load dependent, the input voltage trip points will
vary with load current. The output voltage trip point does not
vary.
The comparator has an open-collector output which requires
an external pull-up resistor. This resistor may be connected
to the regulator output or some other supply voltage. Using
the regulator output prevents an invalid “HIGH” on the com-
parator output which occurs if it is pulled up to an external
voltage while the regulator input voltage is reduced below
1.3V. In selecting a value for the pull-up resistor, note that
while the output can sink 400 µA, this current adds to battery
drain. Suggested values range from 100 kto 1 M. This
resistor is not required if the output is unused.
When V
IN
1.3V, the error flag pin becomes a high imped-
ance, allowing the error flag voltage to rise to its pull-up
voltage. Using V
OUT
as the pull-up voltage (rather than an
external 5V source) will keep the error flag voltage below
1.2V (typical) in this condition. The user may wish to divide
down the error flag voltage using equal-value resistors
(10 ksuggested) to ensure a low-level logic signal during
any fault condition, while still allowing a valid high logic level
during normal operation.
OUTPUT ISOLATION
The regulator output can be left connected to an active
voltage source (such as a battery) with the regulator input
power turned off, as long as the regulator ground pin is
connected to ground . If the ground pin is left floating,
damage to the regulator can occur if the output is pulled
up by an external voltage source.
REDUCING OUTPUT NOISE
In reference applications it may be advantageous to reduce
the AC noise present on the output. One method is to reduce
regulator bandwidth by increasing output capacitance. This
is relatively inefficient, since large increases in capacitance
are required to get significant improvement.
Noise can be reduced more effectively by a bypass capacitor
placed across R1 (refer to Figure 2). The formula for select-
ing the capacitor to be used is:
This gives a value of about 0.1 µF. When this is used, the
output capacitor must be 6.8 µF (or greater) to maintain
stability. The 0.1 µF capacitor reduces the high frequency
gain of the circuit to unity, lowering the output noise from 260
µV to 80 µV using a 10 Hz to 100 kHz bandwidth. Also, noise
is no longer proportional to the output voltage, so improve-
ments are more pronounced at high output voltages.
SHUTDOWN INPUT
A logic-level signal will shut off the regulator output when a
“LOW” (<1.2V) is applied to the Shutdown input.
To prevent possible mis-operation, the Shutdown input must
be actively terminated. If the input is driven from open-
collector logic, a pull-up resistor (20 kto 100 krecom-
mended) should be connected from the Shutdown input to
the regulator input.
If the Shutdown input is driven from a source that actively
pulls high and low (like an op-amp), the pull-up resistor is not
required, but may be used.
If the shutdown function is not to be used, the cost of the
pull-up resistor can be saved by simply tying the Shutdown
input directly to the regulator input.
IMPORTANT: Since the Absolute Maximum Ratings state
that the Shutdown input can not go more than 0.3V below
ground, the reverse-battery protection feature which protects
the regulator input is sacrificed if the Shutdown input is tied
directly to the regulator input.
If reverse-battery protection is required in an application, the
pull-up resistor between the Shutdown input and the regula-
tor input must be used.

* In shutdown mode, ERROR will go high if it has been pulled up to an
external supply. To avoid this invalid response, pull up to regulator output.

IMPORTANT NOTICE
Texas Instruments Incorporated and its subsidiaries (TI) reserve the right to make corrections, modifications, enhancements, improvements,
and other changes to its products and services at any time and to discontinue any product or service without notice. Customers should
obtain the latest relevant information before placing orders and should verify that such information is current and complete. All products are
sold subject to TIs terms and conditions of sale supplied at the time of order acknowledgment.
TI warrants performance of its hardware products to the specifications applicable at the time of sale in accordance with TIs standard
warranty. Testing and other quality control techniques are used to the extent TI deems necessary to support this warranty. Except where
mandated by government requirements, testing of all parameters of each product is not necessarily performed.
TI assumes no liability for applications assistance or customer product design. Customers are responsible for their products and
applications using TI components. To minimize the risks associated with customer products and applications, customers should provide
adequate design and operating safeguards.
TI does not warrant or represent that any license, either express or implied, is granted under any TI patent right, copyright, mask work right,
or other TI intellectual property right relating to any combination, machine, or process in which TI products or services are used. Information
published by TI regarding third-party products or services does not constitute a license from TI to use such products or services or a
warranty or endorsement thereof. Use of such information may require a license from a third party under the patents or other intellectual
property of the third party, or a license from TI under the patents or other intellectual property of TI.
Reproduction of TI information in TI data books or data sheets is permissible only if reproduction is without alteration and is accompanied
by all associated warranties, conditions, limitations, and notices. Reproduction of this information with alteration is an unfair and deceptive
business practice. TI is not responsible or liable for such altered documentation. Information of third parties may be subject to additional
restrictions.
Resale of TI products or services with statements different from or beyond the parameters stated by TI for that product or service voids all
express and any implied warranties for the associated TI product or service and is an unfair and deceptive business practice. TI is not
responsible or liable for any such statements.
TI products are not authorized for use in safety-critical applications (such as life support) where a failure of the TI product would reasonably
be expected to cause severe personal injury or death, unless officers of the parties have executed an agreement specifically governing
such use. Buyers represent that they have all necessary expertise in the safety and regulatory ramifications of their applications, and
acknowledge and agree that they are solely responsible for all legal, regulatory and safety-related requirements concerning their products
and any use of TI products in such safety-critical applications, notwithstanding any applications-related information or support that may be
provided by TI. Further, Buyers must fully indemnify TI and its representatives against any damages arising out of the use of TI products in
such safety-critical applications.
TI products are neither designed nor intended for use in military/aerospace applications or environments unless the TI products are
specifically designated by TI as military-grade or "enhanced plastic."Only products designated by TI as military-grade meet military
specifications. Buyers acknowledge and agree that any such use of TI products which TI has not designated as military-grade is solely at
the Buyer's risk, and that they are solely responsible for compliance with all legal and regulatory requirements in connection with such use.
TI products are neither designed nor intended for use in automotive applications or environments unless the specific TI products are
designated by TI as compliant with ISO/TS 16949 requirements. Buyers acknowledge and agree that, if they use any non-designated
products in automotive applications, TI will not be responsible for any failure to meet such requirements.
