7 Detailed Description
7.1 Overview
The LMS8117A device is a positive-voltage regulator available in 1.8-V, 3.3-V, and adjustable versions. For the
adjustable version, the output voltage ranges from 1.25 V to 13.8 V and is set with only two external resistors.
This device is capable of supplying up to 1-A output current for an input voltage up to 15 V.
Because this device has a low-dropout voltage of 1.25 V over a junction temperature from 0°C to 125°C, the
input voltage can be as low as 2.5 V for proper regulation over the entire temperature range. The LMS8117A
also features current limiting and thermal overload protection to help protect the device and is available in the
space-saving SOT-223 and TO-252 packages.
The LMS8117A device is versatile in its applications, including uses in programmable output regulation and local
on-card regulation. Or, by connecting a fixed resistor between the ADJUST and OUTPUT pins, the device can
function as a precision current regulator. An optional output capacitor can be added to improve transient
response. The ADJUST pin can be bypassed to achieve very high ripple-rejection ratios, which are difficult to
achieve with standard regulators.

Feature Description (continued)
7.3.2 Programmable Feedback
The ADJUST pin for adjustable versions provide easy output voltage or current (not both) programming. For
current regulation applications, a single resistor whose resistance value is 1.25 V/IOand power rating is greater
than (1.25 V)2/R must be used. For voltage regulation applications, two resistors set the output voltage.
7.4 Device Functional Modes
7.4.1 Normal Operation
For the adjustable version, the OUTPUT pin sources current as necessary to make VOUT 1.25 V greater than
VREF to provide output regulation. For the fixed version, the OUTPUT pin sources current as necessary to make
VOUT greater than the GND pin voltage by the specific fixed voltage (version dependent) to provide output
regulation.
7.4.2 Operation With Low Input Voltage
The device requires up to 1.25-V headroom (VIN VOUT) to operate in regulation. With less headroom, the device
may dropout and OUTPUT voltage is equal to INPUT voltage minus the dropout voltage.
7.4.3 Operation at Light Loads
The device passes its bias current to the OUTPUT pin. The load or feeedback must consume this minimum
current for regulation or the output may be too high.
7.4.4 Operation in Self Protection
When an overload occurs the device will shut down or reduce the output current to prevent device damage. The
device will automatically reset from the overload. The output may be reduced or alternate between ON and OFF
states until the overload is removed.

8 Application and Implementation
NOTE
Information in the following applications sections is not part of the TI component
specification, and TI does not warrant its accuracy or completeness. TI’s customers are
responsible for determining suitability of components for their purposes. Customers should
validate and test their design implementation to confirm system functionality.
8.1 Application Information
The LMS8117A is a versatile and high-performance linear regulator with a wide temperature range and tight line
and load regulation operation. An output capacitor is required to further improve transient response and stability.
For the adjustable version, the ADJUST pin can also be bypassed to achieve very high ripple-rejection ratios.
The LMS8117A is versatile in its applications, including uses as a post regulator for DC-DC converters, batter
chargers, and microprocessor supplies.
8.2 Typical Applications
8.2.1 Output Regulator
(1) Required if the regulator is placed far from the power supply filter.
Figure 12. Fixed Output Regulator
8.2.1.1 Design Requirements
The device component count is very minimal, employing two resistors as part of a voltage divider circuit for the
adjustable version and an output capacitor for load regulation. A 10-µF tantalum capacitor on the input is suitable
for almost all applications and is required if the regulator is located far from the power-supply filter. An optional
bypass capacitor across R2 can also be used to improve PSRR.
8.2.1.2 Detailed Design Procedure
8.2.1.2.1 External Capacitors and Stability
8.2.1.2.1.1 Input Bypass Capacitor
TI recommends an input capacitor. A 10-µF tantalum on the input is a suitable input bypassing for almost all
applications.
8.2.1.2.1.2 ADJUST Pin Bypass Capacitor
The ADJUST pin can be bypassed to ground with a bypass capacitor (CADJ) to improve ripple rejection. This
bypass capacitor prevents ripple from being amplified as the output voltage is increased. At any ripple frequency,
the impedance of the CADJ must be less than R1 to prevent the ripple from being amplified in Equation 1.
1 / (2 × π× fRIPPLE × CADJ) < R1 (1)
The R1 is the resistor between the OUTPUT and the ADJUST pins. Its value is normally from 100 Ωto 200 Ω.
For example, with R1 = 124 Ωand fRIPPLE = 120 Hz, the CADJ must be > 11 µF.

Typical Applications (continued)
8.2.1.2.1.3 Output Capacitor
The output capacitor is critical in maintaining regulator stability, and must meet the required conditions for both
minimum amount of capacitance and ESR (Equivalent Series Resistance). The minimum output capacitance
required by the LMS8117A is 10 µF, if a tantalum capacitor is used. Any increase of the output capacitance
merely improves the loop stability and transient response. The ESR of the output capacitor must be greater than
0.5 Ωand less than 5 Ω. In the case of the adjustable regulator, when the CADJ is used, a larger output
capacitance (22-µF tantalum) is required.
8.2.1.2.2 Output Voltage
The LMS8117A adjustable version develops a 1.25-V reference voltage (VREF) between the OUTPUT and the
ADJUST pins. As shown in Figure 13, this voltage is applied across resistor R1 to generate a constant current I1.
The current IADJ from the ADJUST pin could introduce error to the output. Because it is very small (60 µA)
compared with the I1 and very constant with line and load changes, the error can be ignored. The constant
current I1 then flows through the output set resistor R2 and sets the output voltage to the desired level.
For fixed voltage devices, R1 and R2 are integrated inside the devices.
Figure 13. Basic Adjustable Regulator
VOUT is calculated using Equation 2. IADJ is typically 60 µF and negligible in most applications.
VOUT = VREF × (1 + R2 / R1) + (IADJ × R2) (2)
8.2.1.2.3 Load Regulation
The LMS8117A regulates the voltage that appears between its OUTPUT and GROUND pins, or between its
OUTPUT and ADJUST pins. In some cases, line resistances can introduce errors to the voltage across the load.
To obtain the best load regulation, a few precautions are required.
Figure 14 shows a typical application using a fixed output regulator. The RT1 and RT2 are the line resistances. It
is obvious that the VLOAD is less than the VOUT by the sum of the voltage drops along the line resistances (as
seen in Equation 3). In this case, the load regulation seen at the RLOAD would be degraded from the data sheet
specification. To improve this, the load must be tied directly to the OUTPUT pin on the positive side and directly
tied to the GROUND pin on the negative side.

Typical Applications (continued)
When the adjustable regulator is used (Figure 15), the best performance is obtained with the positive side of the
resistor R1 tied directly to the OUTPUT pin of the regulator rather than near the load (as seen in Equation 4).
This eliminates line drops from appearing effectively in series with the reference and degrading regulation. For
example, a 5-V regulator with 0.05-Ωresistance between the regulator and load has a load regulation due to line
resistance of 0.05 Ω× IL. If R1 (125 Ω) is connected near the load, the effective line resistance is 0.05 Ω(1 + R2
/ R1) or in this case, it is 4 times worse. In addition, the ground side of the resistor R2 can be returned near the
ground of the load to provide remote ground sensing and improve load regulation.
Figure 15. Best Load Regulation Using Adjustable Output Regulator
VLOAD = VREF × (R1 + R2) / R1 (IL× RT1) (4)
8.2.1.2.4 Protection Diodes
Under normal operation, the LMS8117A regulators do not require any protection diode. With the adjustable
device, the internal resistance between the ADJUST and OUTPUT pins limit the current. No diode is required to
divert the current around the regulator even with capacitor on the ADJUST pin. The ADJUST pin can take a
transient signal of ±25 V with respect to the output voltage without damaging the device.
When a output capacitor is connected to a regulator and the input is shorted to ground, the output capacitor
discharges into the output of the regulator. The discharge current depends on the value of the capacitor, the
output voltage of the regulator, and rate of decrease of VIN. In the LMS8117A regulators, the internal diode
between the OUTPUT and INPUT pins can withstand microsecond surge currents of 10 A to 20 A. With an
extremely large output capacitor (1000 µF), and with input instantaneously shorted to ground, the regulator
could be damaged.
In this case, TI recommends an external diode between the OUTPUT and INPUT pins to protect the regulator, as
shown in Figure 16.

8.2.2 Other Application Circuits
Figure 23 and Figure 24 show application circuit examples using the LMS8117A devices. Customers must fully
validate and test any circuit before implementing a design based on an example in this section. Unless otherwise
noted, the design procedures in Output Regulator are applicable.
(1) CADJ is optional, however it will improve ripple rejection.

9 Power Supply Recommendations
The input supply to the LMS8117A must be kept at a voltage level such that its maximum rating is not exceeded.
The minimum dropout voltage must also be met, with extra headroom when possible, to keep the device in
regulation. TI recommends an input capacitor; see External Capacitors and Stability for more information on
capacitor selection.

10 Layout
10.1 Layout Guidelines
TI recommends bypassing the input pin to ground with a bypass capacitor.
The optimum placement of the bypass capacitor is as close as possible to the input pin and the system
ground. Take care to minimize the loop area formed by the bypass capacitor connection, the input pin, and
the system GND.
TI recommends using wide trace lengths to eliminate I × R drop and heat dissipation.

10.3 Thermal Considerations
10.3.1 Heat Sink Requirements
When an integrated circuit operates with an appreciable current, its junction temperature is elevated. It is
important to quantify its thermal limits to achieve acceptable performance and reliability. This limit is determined
by summing the individual parts consisting of a series of temperature rises from the semiconductor junction to the
operating environment. A one-dimensional steady-state model of conduction heat transfer is demonstrated in
Figure 27. The heat generated at the device junction flows through the die to the die attach pad, through the lead
frame to the surrounding case material, to the printed-circuit board, and eventually to the ambient environment.
There are several variables that may affect the thermal resistance and in turn the need for a heat sink, which
include the following.
Component variables (RθJC)
Leadframe size and material
Number of conduction pins
Die size
Die attach material
Molding compound size and material
Application variables (RθCA)
Mounting pad size, material, and location
Placement of mounting pad
PCB size and material
Traces length and width
Adjacent heat sources
Volume of air
Ambient temperature
Shape of mounting pad
The case temperature is measured at the point where the leads contact the mounted pad surface.
Figure 27. Cross-Sectional View of Integrated Circuit Mounted on a Printed-Circuit Board
The LMS8117A regulator has internal thermal shutdown to protect the device from overheating. Under all
possible operating conditions, the junction temperature of the LMS8117A must be within 0°C to 125°C. A heat
sink may be required depending on the maximum power dissipation and maximum ambient temperature of the
application. To determine if a heat sink is required, the power dissipated by the regulator (PD) is calculated using
Equation 6.
IIN = IL+ IG(6)
PD= (VIN VOUT)×IL+ (VIN × IG) (7)

Thermal Considerations (continued)
(1) Tab of device is attached to top-side copper.
Figure 28. Power Dissipation Diagram
The next parameter which must be calculated is the maximum allowable temperature rise (TR(MAX))inEquation 8.
TR(MAX) = TJ(MAX) TA(MAX)
where
TJ(MAX) is the maximum allowable junction temperature (125°C)
TA(MAX) is the maximum ambient temperature encountered in the application (8)
Using the calculated values for TR(MAX) and PD, the maximum allowable value for the junction-to-ambient thermal
resistance (RθJA) can be calculated with Equation 9.
RθJA = TR(MAX) / PD(9)
If the maximum allowable value for RθJA is found to be 61.4°C/W for SOT-223 package or 56.1°C/W for
TO-252 package, no heat sink is required because the package alone dissipates enough heat to satisfy these
requirements. If the calculated value for RθJA falls below these limits, a heat sink is required.
As a design aid, Table 1 shows the value of the RθJA of SOT-223 and TO-252 for different heat sink area. The
copper patterns that we used to measure these RθJA are shown Figure 29 and Figure 30.Figure 17 and
Figure 18 reflect the same test results as what are in the Table 1.
Figure 19 and Figure 20 show the maximum allowable power dissipation versus ambient temperature for the
SOT-223 and TO-252 device packages. Figure 21 and Figure 22 show the maximum allowable power dissipation
versus copper area (in.2) for the SOT-223 and TO-252 device packages. For power enhancement techniques to
be used with SOT-223 and TO-252 packages, see AN–1028 Maximum Power Enhancement Techniques for
Power Packages (SNVA036).
