These regulators are specifically designed for low voltage applications that require a low dropout voltage and a fast transient response. They are fully fault protected against over-current, reverse battery, and positive and negative voltage transients. On-chip trimming adjusts the reference voltage to 1% initial accuracy. Other features in the 5 pin versions include Enable and Error Flag. The SPX29150/51/52/53 is offered in 3-pin and 5-pin TO-220 & TO-263 packages. For a 3A version, refer to the SPX29300 data sheet.

Note 2: VIN = VOUT (NOMINAL) +1V. For example, use VIN = 4.3V for a 3.3V regulator. Employ pulse-testing procedures to minimize temperature rise. Note 3: Ground pin current is the regulator quiescent current. The total current drawn from the source is the sum of the load current to the ground current. Note 4: Thermal regulation is defined as the change in the output voltage at a time T after a change in power dissipation is applied, excluding load or line regulation effects. Note 5: Comparator threshold is expressed in terms of a voltage differential at the Adjust terminal below the nominal reference voltage measured 6V input. To express these thresholds in terms of output voltage change, multiply the error amplifier gain = VOUT/VREF = (R1 + R2)/R2. For example, at a programmable output voltage of 5V, the Error output is guaranteed to go low when the output drops by 95mVx 5V/ 1.240V = 38mV. Thresholds remain constant as a percent of VOUT as VOUT is varied, with the dropout warning occurring at typically 5% below nominal, 7.7% guaranteed. Note 6: VEN 0.8V and VIN 16V, VOUT = 0. Note 7: Maximum positive supply voltage of 20V must be of limited duration (<100m_) < 1%. The maximum continuous supply voltage is 16V.

TJ = 50 + 7.5 * (1+2+3) = 95C Reliable operation is insured. Capacitor Requirements The output capacitor is needed to insure stability and minimize the output noise. The value of the capacitor varies with the load. However, a minimum value of 10F aluminum capacitor will guarantee stability over all load conditions. A tantalum capacitor is recommended if a faster load transient response is needed. If the power source has a high AC impedance, a 0.1F ceramic capacitor between input & ground is recommended. The output capacitors maximum ESR value for stable operation is 0.33ohms. Thermal Considerations Although the SPX29150/51/52/53 offers limiting circuitry for overload conditions, it is still necessary to insure that the maximum junction temperature is not exceeded in the application. Heat will flow through the lowest resistance path, the junction-to-case path. In order to insure the best thermal flow of the component, proper mounting is required. Consult the heatsink manufacturer for thermal resistance and heat sink design. Minimum Load Current To ensure proper behavior of the regulator under light loads, a minimum load of 5mA for SPX29150/51/52/53 is required. TO-220 Design Example: Assume that VIN = 10V, VOUT = 5V, IOUT = 1.5A, TA = 50C, H= 1C/W, CH= 2C/W, and JC= 3C/W, where: TA = ambient temperature, HA = heatsink to ambient thermal resistance CH = case to heatsink thermal resistance JC = junction to case thermal resistance Typical Application Circuits Figure 19 represents a typical fixed output regulator. Figure 20 represents an adjustable output regulator. The values of R1 and R2 set the output voltage value as follows: VOUT =VREF * [1 + (R1/R2)]. A minimum value of 10k is recommended for R2 with a range between 10k and 47k. The power calculated under these conditions is: PD = (VIN - VOUT) * IOUT = 7.5W. And the junction temperature is calculated as TJ = TA + PD * (HA + CH + JC) or VIN + 6.8F VIN SPX29150 VOUT + + 6.8 F 10F 1 SPX29152 2 3 4 5 ADJ VOUT + R1 10 F GND R2 Figure 19.
