Operating ratings indicate conditions for which the device is intended to be functional, but do not guarantee specific performance limits. For guaranteed specifications and test conditions, see Electrical characteristics. The guaranteed specifications apply only for the test conditions listed. Some performance characteristics may degrade when the device is not operated under the listed test conditions. Note 2: At elevated temperatures, devices must be derated based on package thermal resistance. The device in the surface-mount package must be derated at jA = 235C/W, junction-to-ambient. Please refer to the applications section on maximum current capability for further information. The device has internal thermal protection. Note 3: The human body model is a 100pF capacitor discharged through a 1.5k resistor into each pin. Note 4: : Typical numbers are at 25C and represent the most likely parametric norm. Note 5: : Limits are 100% production tested at 25C. Limits over the operating temperature range are guaranteed through correlation using Statistical Quality Control (SQC) methods. The limits are used to calculate National's Averaging Outgoing Quality Level (AOQL). Note 6: If used in a dual-supply system where the regulator load is returned to a negative supply, the LP2966 output must be diode-clamped to ground. Note 7: The output PMOS structure contains a diode between the VIN and VOUT terminals that is normally reverse-biased. Reversing the polarity from VIN and VOUT will turn on this diode. Note 8: Output voltage line regulation is defined as the change in output voltage from the nominal value due to change in input line voltage. Note 9: Output voltage load regulation is defined as the change in output voltage from the nominal value when the load current changes from 1mA to 100mA. Note 10: Output voltage cross regulation is defined as the percentage change in the output voltage from the nominal value at one output when the load current changes from 1mA to full load in the other output. This is an important parameter in multiple output regulators. The specification for VO1/IOUT2 is equal to the specification for VO2/IOUT1. Note 11: Error Flag threshold and hysteresis are specified as the percentage below the regulated output voltage. Note 12: Dropout voltage is defined as the input to output differential at which the output voltage drops 100mV below the nominal value. Drop-out voltage specification applies only to output voltages greater than 2.7V. For output voltages below 2.7V, the drop-out voltage is nothing but the input to output differential, since the minimum input voltage is 2.7V. 5 www.national.com LP2966 Electrical Characteristics LP2966 Electrical Characteristics (Continued) Note 13: Output voltage tolerance specification also includes the line regulation and load regulation. Note 14: LP2966 has fold back current limited short circuit protection. The knee is the current at which the output voltage drops 10% below the nominal value. Note 15: VSDT is the shutdown pin voltage threshold below which the output is disabled. Note 16: The condition VIN = VO(NOM) + 1V applies when Vout1 = Vout2. If Vout1 Vout2, then this condition would apply to the output which is greater in value. As an example, if Vout1 = 3.3V and Vout2 = 5V, then the condition VIN = VO(NOM)+ 1V would apply to Vout2 only. Note 17: Turn-on delay is the time interval between the low to high transition on the shutdown pin to the output voltage settling to within 5% of the nominal value. Turn-off delay is the time interval between the high to low transition on the shutdown pin to the output voltage dropping below 50% of the nominal value. The external load impedance influences the output voltage decay in shutdown mode. Note 18: The limits for the ground pin current specification, IGND(0,1) will be same as the limits for the specification, IGND(1,0). www.national.com 6 Ground Pin Current vs Supply Voltage (one LDO on) Ground Pin Current vs Supply Voltage (both LDOs on) 10085001 10085002 Ground Pin Current vs Load Current over temperature (one LDO on) Ground Pin Current vs Load Current over temperature (both LDOs on) 10085004 10085003 Output Voltage vs Temperature Drop-out Voltage vs Temperature 10085005 10085006 7 www.national.com LP2966 Typical Performance Characteristics Unless otherwise specified, VIN =VO(NOM) + 1V, VOUT= 3.3V, COUT =1F, IOUT = 1mA, CIN =1F, VSD1 = VSD2 = VIN, and TA = 25C.

(Continued) LP2966 Tantalum capacitors, it should be ensured that the ESR is within the limits for stability over the full operating temparature range. For output voltages greater than 2.5V, good quality ceramic capacitors (such as the X7R series from Taiyoyuden) can also be used with LP2966 in applications not requiring light load operation ( < 5mA for the 5V output option). Once again, it should be ensured that the capacitance value and the ESR are within the limits for stability over the full operating temperature range. The ESRD Series Polymer Aluminium Electrolytic capacitors from Cornell Dubilier are very stable over temperature and frequency. The excellent capacitance and ESR tolerance of these capacitors over voltage, temperature and frequency make these capacitors very suitable for use with LDO regulators. Applications Information Input Capacitor Selection LP2966 requires a minimum input capacitance of 1F between the input and ground pins to prevent any impedance interactions with the supply. This capacitor should be located very close to the input pin. This capacitor can be of any type such as ceramic, tantalum, or aluminium. Any good quality capacitor which has good tolerance over temperature and frequency is recommended. Output Capacitor Selection The LP2966 requires a minimum of 1F capacitance on each output for proper operation. To insure stability, this capacitor should maintain its ESR (equivalent series resistance) in the stable region of the ESR curves (Figure 1 and Figure 2 over the full operating temperature range of the application. The output capacitor should have a good tolerance over temperature, voltage, and frequency. The output capacitor can be increased without limit. Larger capacitance provides better stability and noise performance. The output capacitor should be connected very close to the Vout pin of the IC. Output Noise Noise is specified in two waysSpot 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 V/Hz or nV/Hz and total output noise is measured in V(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 storngly depend 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 increase the die size and decreases the chance of fitting the die into a small package. Increasing the current drawn by the internal reference increases the total supply current (ground pin current) of the IC. Using an optimized trade-off of ground pin current and die size, LP2966 achieves low noise performance with low quiescent current in an MSOP-8 package. Short-Circuit Foldback protection In the presence of a short or excessive load current condition, the LP2966 uses an internal short circuit foldback mechanism that regulates the maximum deliverable output current. A strong negative temperature coefficient is designed into the circuit to enable extremely higher peak output current capability (in excess of 400mA per output at room temperature, see typical curves). Thus, a system designer using the LP2966 can achieve higher peak output current capability in applications where the LP2966 internal junction temperature is kept below 125C. Refer to the applications section on calculating the maximum output current capability of the LP2966 for your application. Error Flag Operation The LP2966 produces a logic low signal at the Error Flag pin (ERROR) when the corresponding 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 3 shows the relationship between the ERROR and the output voltage. In this example, the input voltage is changed to demonstrate the functionality of the Error Flag. 10085011 FIGURE 1. ESR Curve for VOUT = 5V and COUT = 2.2F 10085012 FIGURE 2. ESR Curve for VOUT = 3.3V and COUT = 2.2F LP2966 works best with Tantalum capacitors. However, the ESR and the capcitance value of these capacitors vary a lot with temperature, voltage, and frequency. So while using www.national.com 12 LP2966 Applications Information (Continued) 10085035 FIGURE 3. Error Flag Operation The internal error flag comparators have open drain output stages. Hence, the ERROR pins should be pulled high through a pull up resistor. Although the ERROR pin can sink current of 1mA, this current adds to the battery drain. Hence, the value of the pull up resistor should be in the range of 100k to 1M. The ERROR pins must be connected to ground if this function is not used. It should also be noted that when the shutdown pins are pulled low, the ERROR pins are forced to be invalid for reasons of saving power in shutdown mode. 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 150mA. Maximum Output Current Capability Each output in the LP2966 can deliver a current of more than 150mA over the full operating temperature range. However, the maximum output current capability should be derated by the junction temperature. Under all possible conditions, the junction temperature must be within the range specified under operating conditions. The LP2966 is available in MSOP-8 package. This package has a junction to ambient temperature coefficient (ja) of 235 C/W with minimum amount of copper area. The total power dissipation of the device is approximately given by: PD = (Vin - VOUT1)IOUT1 + (Vin-VOUT2)IOUT2 The maximum power dissipation, PDmax, that the device can tolerate can be calculated by using the formula PDmax = (Tjmax - TA)/ja where Tjmax is the maximum specified junction temperature (125C), and TA is the ambient temperature. The following figures show the variation of thermal coefficient with different layout scenarios. Shutdown Operation The two LDO regulators in the LP2966 have independent shutdown. A CMOS Logic level signal at the shutdown( SD) pin will turn-off the corresponding regulator. Pins SD1 and SD2 must be actively terminated through a 100k pull-up resistor for a proper operation. If these pins are 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. These pins must be tied to Vin if not used. Drop-Out Voltage The drop-out voltage of a regulator is defined as the minimum input-to-output differential required to stay within 100mV of the output voltage measured with a 1V differential. The LP2966 uses an internal MOSFET with an Rds(on) of 1. For CMOS LDOs, the drop-out voltage is the product of the load current and the Rds(on) of the internal MOSFET. Reverse Current Path The internal MOSFET in the LP2966 has an inherent parasitic diode. During normal operation, the input voltage is 13 www.national.com LP2966 Applications Information (Continued) 10085036 FIGURE 4. 10085039 FIGURE 7. 10085037 FIGURE 5. 10085040 FIGURE 8. 10085038 FIGURE 6. www.national.com 14 LP2966 Dual 150mA Ultra Low-Dropout Regulator Physical Dimensions inches (millimeters) unless otherwise noted Mini SO-8 Package Type MM For Ordering, Refer to Ordering Information Table NS Package Number MUA08A National does not assume any responsibility for use of any circuitry described, no circuit patent licenses are implied and National reserves the right at any time without notice to change said circuitry and specifications.

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.
