4 cs5207-1 the cs5207-1 linear regulator provides adjustable volt- ages at currents up to 7a. the regulator is protected against short circuit, and include thermal shutdown and safe area protection (soa) circuitry. the soa protection circuitry decreases the maximum available output current as the input-output differential voltage increases. the cs5207-1 has a composite pnp-npn output transistor and requires an output capacitor for stability. a detailed procedure for selecting this capacitor is included in the stability considerations section. the adjustable regulator has an output voltage range of 1.25v to 13v. an external resistor divider sets the output voltage as shown in figure 1. the regulator maintains a fixed 1.25v (typical) reference between the output pin and the adjust pin. a resistor divider network r1 and r2 causes a fixed cur- rent to flow to ground. this current creates a voltage across r2 that adds to the 1.25v across r1 and sets the overall output voltage. the adjust pin current (typically 50a) also flows through r2 and adds a small error that should be taken into account if precise adjustment of v out is necessary. the output voltage is set according to the formula: v out = v ref () + i adj r2 the term i adj r2 represents the error added by the adjust pin current. r1 is chosen so that the minimum load current is at least 10ma. r1 and r2 should be the same type, e.g. metal film for best tracking over temperature. the adjust pin is bypassed to improve the transient response and ripple rejection of the regulator. figure 1. resistor divider scheme for the adjustable version. the output or compensation capacitor helps determine three main characteristics of a linear regulator: start-up delay, load transient response and loop stability. the capacitor value and type is based on cost, availability, size and temperature constraints. a tantalum or aluminum electrolytic capacitor is best, since a film or ceramic capaci- tor with almost zero esr, can cause instability. the alu- minum electrolytic capacitor is the least expensive solu- tion. however, when the circuit operates at low tempera- tures, both the value and esr of the capacitor will vary considerably. the capacitor manufacturers data sheet pro- vides this information. a 22f tantalum capacitor will work for most applications, but with high current regulators such as the cs5207-1 the transient response and stability improve with higher val- ues of capacitor. the majority of applications for this regu- lator involve large changes in load current so the output capacitor must supply the instantaneous load current. the esr of the output capacitor causes an immediate drop in output voltage given by: ? v = ? i esr for microprocessor applications it is customary to use an output capacitor network consisting of several tantalum and ceramic capacitors in parallel. this reduces the overall esr and reduces the instantaneous output voltage drop under load transient conditions. the output capacitor net- work should be as close as possible to the load for the best results. when large external capacitors are used with a linear regu- lator it is sometimes necessary to add protection diodes. if the input voltage of the regulator gets shorted, the output capacitor will discharge into the output of the regulator. the discharge current depends on the value of the capaci- tor, the output voltage and the rate at which v in drops. in the cs5207-1 regulator, the discharge path is through a large junction and protection diodes are not usually need- ed. if the regulator is used with large values of output capacitance and the input voltage is instantaneously short- ed to ground, damage can occur. in this case, a diode con- nected as shown in figure 2 is recommended. figure 2. protection diode scheme for adjustable output regulator. since the cs5207-1 is a three terminal regulator, it is not possible to provide true remote load sensing. load regula- tion is limited by the resistance of the conductors connect- ing the regulator to the load. output voltage sensing v out v in cs5207-1 v in adj r 1 r 2 c 1 v out c 2 c adj in4002 (optional) protection diodes stability considerations v out v in cs5207-1 v in adj r 1 r 2 c 1 v out c 2 v ref i adj c adj r1 + r2 r1 adjustable operation applications information
5 cs5207-1 best load regulation occurs when r1 is connected directly to the output pin of the regulator as shown in figure 3. if r1 is connected to the load, r c is multiplied by the divider ratio and the effective resistance between the regulator and the load becomes r c () r c = conductor parasitic resistance figure 3. grounding scheme for the adjustable output regulator to min- imize parasitics. the cs5207-1 linear regulator includes thermal shutdown and safe operating area circuitry to protect the device. high power regulators such as this usually operate at high junction temperatures so it is important to calculate the power dissipation and junction temperatures accurately to ensure that an adequate heat sink is used. the case is connected to v out on the cs5207-1, electrical isolation may be required for some applications. thermal compound should always be used with high current regu- lators such as these. the thermal characteristics of an ic depend on the follow- ing four factors: 1. maximum ambient temperature t a (c) 2. power dissipation p d (watts) 3. maximum junction temperature t j (c) 4. thermal resistance junction to ambient r ja (c/w) these four are related by the equation t j = t a + p d r ja (1) the maximum ambient temperature and the power dissi- pation are determined by the design while the maximum junction temperature and the thermal resistance depend on the manufacturer and the package type. the maximum power dissipation for a regulator is: p d(max) ={v in(max) ?v out(min) }i out(max) +v in(max) i q (2) where v in(max) is the maximum input voltage, v out(min) is the minimum output voltage, i out(max) is the maximum output current, for the application i q is the maximum quiescent current at i out (max). a heat sink effectively increases the surface area of the package to improve the flow of heat away from the ic and into the surrounding air. each material in the heat flow path between the ic and the outside environment has a thermal resistance. like series electrical resistances, these resistances are summed to determine r ja , the total thermal resistance between the junction and the surrounding air. 1. thermal resistance of the junction to case, r jc (c/w) 2. thermal resistance of the case to heat sink, r cs (c/w) 3. thermal resistance of the heat sink to the ambient air, r sa (c/w) these are connected by the equation: r ja = r jc + r cs + r sa (3) the value for r ja is calculated using equation (3) and the result can be substituted in equation (1). the value for r jc is normally quoted as a single figure for a given package type based on an average die size. for a high current regulator such as the cs5207-1 the majority of the heat is generated in the power transistor section. the value for r sa depends on the heat sink type, while r cs depends on factors such as package type, heat sink inter- face (is an insulator and thermal grease used?), and the contact area between the heat sink and the package. once these calculations are complete, the maximum permissible value of r ja can be calculated and the proper heat sink selected. for further discussion on heat sink selection, see application note ?thermal management for linear regulators.? calculating power dissipation and heat sink requirements v out r c v in conductor parasitic resistance cs5207-1 v in adj r load r 1 r 2 r1 + r2 r1 applications information: continued
