Electrical specifications do not apply when operating the device outside of its rated operating conditions. Note 2: The ESD rating of pins 3 and 4 for the SOT-23 package, or pins 5 and 2 for the micro SMD package, is 1 kV. Note 3: The maximum allowable power dissipation is a function of the maximum junction temperature, TJ(MAX), the junction-to-ambient thermal resistance, JA, and the ambient temperature, TA. The maximum allowable power dissipation at any ambient temperture is calculated using: Where the value of J-A for the SOT-23 package is 220C/W in a typical PC board mounting. Exceeding the maximum allowable dissipation will cause excessive die temperature, and the regulator will go into thermal shutdown. Note 4: If used in a dual-supply system where the regulator load is returned to a negative supply, the LP2985LV output must be diode-clamped to ground. Note 5: The output PNP structure contains a diode between the VIN to VOUT terminals that is normally reverse-biased. Reversing the polarity from VIN to VOUT will turn on this diode, and possibly damage the device (See Application Hints). Note 6: 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 Average Outgoing Quality Level (AOQL). Note 7: The ON/OFF input must be properly driven to prevent possible misoperation. For details, refer to Application Hints. Note 8: The LP2985LV has foldback current limiting which allows a high peak current when VOUT > 0.5V, and then reduces the maximum output current as VOUT is forced to ground (see Typical Performance Characteristics curves). Note 9: VIN must be the greater of 2.2V or VOUT(NOM) + Dropout Voltage to maintain output regulation. Dropout Voltage is defined as the input to output differential at which the output voltage drops 2% below ther value measured with a 1V differential. Note 10: Exposing the micro SMD device to direct sunlight will cause misoperation.

These capacitors must be correctly selected for good performance. Input Capacitor An input capacitor whose capacitance is 1 F is required between the LP2985LV input and ground (the amount of capacitance may be increased without limit). This capacitor must be located a distance of not more than 1 cm from the input pin and returned to a clean analog ground. Any good quality ceramic, tantalum, or film capacitor may be used at the input. Important: Tantalum capacitors can suffer catastrophic failure due to surge current when connected to a low-impedance source of power (like a battery or very large capacitor). If a Tantalum capacitor is used at the input, it must be guaranteed by the manufacturer to have a surge current rating sufficient for the application. There are no requirements for ESR on the input capacitor, but tolerance and temperature coefficient must be considered when selecting the capacitor to ensure the capacitance will be 1 F over the entire operating temperature range. 10129520 FIGURE 2. LP2985LV 4.7F Stable ESR Range Important: The output capacitor must maintain its ESR within the stable region over the full operating temperature range of the application to assure stability. The LP2985LV requires a minimum of 2.2 F on the output (output capacitor size can be increased without limit). It is important to remember that capacitor tolerance and variation with temperature must be taken into consideration when selecting an output capacitor so that the minimum required amount of output capacitance is provided over the full operating temperature range. It should be noted that ceramic capacitors can exhibit large changes in capacitance with temperature (see next section, Capacitor Characteristics). The output capacitor must be located not more than 1 cm from the output pin and returned to a clean analog ground. Output Capacitor The LP2985LV is designed specifically to work with ceramic output capacitors, utilizing circuitry which allows the regulator to be stable across the entire range of output current with an output capacitor whose ESR is as low as 5 m. It may also be possible to use Tantalum or film capacitors at the output, but these are not as attractive for reasons of size and cost (see next sectionCapacitor Characteristics). The output capacitor must meet the requirement for minimum amount of capacitance and also have an ESR (equivalent series resistance) value which is within the stable range. Curves are provided which show the stable ESR range as a function of load current (see ESR graphs Figure 1 and Figure 2). Noise Bypass Capacitor Connecting a 10 nF capacitor to the Bypass pin significantly reduces noise on the regulator output. It should be noted that the capacitor is connected directly to a high-impedance circuit in the bandgap reference. Because this circuit has only a few microamperes flowing in it, any significant loading on this node will cause a change in the regulated output voltage. For this reason, DC leakage current through the noise bypass capacitor must never exceed 100 nA, and should be kept as low as possible for best output voltage accuracy. The types of capacitors best suited for the noise bypass capacitor are ceramic and film. High-quality ceramic capacitors with either NPO or COG dielectric typically have very low leakage. 10 nF polypropolene and polycarbonate film capacitors are available in small surface-mount packages and typically have extremely low leakage current. CAPACITOR CHARACTERISTICS The LP2985LV was designed to work with ceramic capacitors on the output to take advantage of the benefits they offer: for capacitance values in the 2.2 F to 4.7 F range, ceramics are the least expensive and also have the lowest ESR values (which makes them best for eliminating high-frequency noise). The ESR of a typical 2.2 F ceramic capacitor is in the range of 10 m to 20 m, which easily meets the ESR limits required for stability by the LP2985LV. 10129519 FIGURE 1. LP2985LV 2.2F Stable ESR Range 11 www.national.com LP2985LV One disadvantage of ceramic capacitors is that their capacitance can vary with temperature. Most large value ceramic capacitors ( 2.2 F) are manufactured with the Z5U or Y5V temperature characteristic, which results in the capacitance dropping by more than 50% as the temperature goes from 25 C to 85C. This could cause problems if a 2.2 F capacitor were used on the output since it will drop down to approximately 1 F at high ambient temperatures (which could cause the LP2985LV to oscillate). If Z5U or Y5V capacitors are used on the output, a minimum capacitance value of 4.7 F must be observed. A better choice for temperature coefficient in ceramic capacitors is X7R, which holds the capacitance within 15%. Unfortunately, the larger values of capacitance are not offered by all manufacturers in the X7R dielectric. 10129554 FIGURE 3. Reverse Current Parth However, if the output is pulled above the input, this diode will turn ON and current will flow into the regulator output. In such cases, a parasitic SCR can latch which will allow a high current to flow into VIN (and out the ground pin), which can damage the part. In any application where the output may be pulled above the input, an external Schottky diode must be connected from VIN to VOUT (cathode on VIN, anode on VOUT), to limit the reverse voltage across the LP2985LV to 0.3V (see Absolute Maximum Ratings). Tantalum Tantalum capacitors are less desirable than ceramics for use as output capacitors because they are more expensive when comparing equivalent capacitance and voltage ratings in the 1 F to 4.7 F range. Another important consideration is that Tantalum capacitors have higher ESR values than equivalent size ceramics. This means that while it may be possible to find a Tantalum capacitor with an ESR value within the stable range, it would have to be larger in capacitance (which means bigger and more costly) than a ceramic capacitor with the same ESR value. It should also be noted that the ESR of a typical Tantalum will increase about 2:1 as the temperature goes from 25C down to -40C, so some guard band must be allowed. On/Off Input Operation The LP2985LV is shut off by driving the ON/OFF input low, and turned on by pulling it high. If this feature is not to be used, the ON/OFF input should be tied to VIN to keep the regulator output on at all times. To assure proper operation, the signal source used to drive the ON/OFF input must be able to swing above and below the specified turn-on/turn-off voltage thresholds listed in the Electrical Characteristics section under VON/OFF. To prevent misoperation, the turn-on (and turn-off) voltage signals applied to the ON/OFF input must have a slew rate which is 40 mV/s. Caution: the regulator output voltage can not be guaranteed if a slow-moving AC (or DC) signal is applied that is in the range between the specified turn-on and turn-off voltages listed under the electrical specification VON/OFF (see Electrical Characteristics). 10129555 FIGURE 4. Reverse Current Protection MICRO SMD MOUNTING The micro SMD package requires specific mounting techniques which are detailed in National Semiconductor Application Note # 1112. Referring to the section Surface Mount Technology (SMT) Assembly Considerations, it should be noted that the pad style which must be used with the 5-pin package is the NSMD (non-solder mask defined) type. For best results during assembly, alignment ordinals on the PC board may be used to facilitate placement of the micro SMD device. REVERSE INPUT-OUTPUT VOLTAGE The PNP power transistor used as the pass element in the LP2985LV has an inherent diode connected between the regulator output and input. During normal operation (where the input voltage is higher than the output) this diode is reversebiased. www.national.com MICRO SMD LIGHT SENSITIVITY Exposing the micro SMD device to direct sunlight will cause misoperation of the device. Light sources such as Halogen lamps can also affect electrical performance if brought near to the device. The wavelengths which have the most detrimental effect are reds and infra-reds, which means that the fluorescent lighting used inside most buildings has very little effect on performance. A micro SMD test board was brought to within 1 cm of a fluorescent desk lamp and the effect on the regulated output voltage was negligible, showing a deviation of less than 0.1% from nominal. 12 LP2985LV Physical Dimensions inches (millimeters) unless otherwise noted SOT-23, 5-Lead Small Outline Package (M5) NS Package Number MF05A 13 www.national.com LP2985LV NOTES: UNLESS OTHERWISE SPECIFIED 1.
