LP2956/LP2956A  
Dual Micropower Low-Dropout Voltage Regulators  
General Description  
Features  
n Output voltage adjusts from 1.23V to 29V  
n Guaranteed 250 mA current (main output)  
n Auxiliary LDO (75 mA) adjustable output  
The LP2956 is a micropower voltage regulator with very low  
quiescent current (170 µA typical at light loads) and very low  
dropout voltage (typically 60 mV at 1 mA load current and  
470 mV at 250 mA load current on the main output).  
n Auxiliary comparator with open-collector output  
n Shutdown pin for main output  
n Extremely low quiescent current  
n Low dropout voltage  
n Extremely tight line and load regulation  
n Very low temperature coefficient  
n Current and thermal limiting  
The LP2956 retains all the desirable characteristics of the  
LP2951, but offers increased output current (main output),  
an auxiliary LDO adjustable regulated output (75 mA), and  
additional features.  
The auxiliary output is always on (regardless of main output  
status), so it can be used to power memory circuits.  
Quiescent current increases only slightly at dropout, which  
prolongs battery life.  
n Reverse battery protection  
The error flag goes low if the main output voltage drops out  
of regulation.  
Applications  
n High-efficiency linear regulator  
An open-collector auxiliary comparator is included, whose  
inverting input is tied to the 1.23V reference.  
n Low dropout battery-powered regulator  
n µP system regulator with switchable high-current VCC  
Reverse battery protection is provided.  
The parts are available in DIP and surface mount packages.

Note 1: Absolute maximum ratings indicate limits beyond which damage to the component may occur. Electrical specifications do not apply when operating the  
device outside of its rated operating conditions.  
Note 2: The maximum allowable power dissipation is a function of the maximum junction temperature, T (max), the junction-to-ambient thermal resistance, θ  
,
J-A  
J
and the ambient temperature, T . The maximum allowable power dissipation at any ambient temperature is calculated using: P(max) =  
A
.
Exceeding the maximum allowable power dissipation will cause excessive die temperature, and the regulator will go into thermal shutdown. See Application Hints  
for additional information on heat sinking and thermal resistance.  
Note 3: When used in dual-supply systems where the regulator load is returned to a negative supply, the output voltage must be diode-clamped to ground.  
Note 4: May exceed the input supply voltage.  
Note 5: Output or reference voltage temperature coefficient is defined as the worst case voltage change divided by the total temperature range.  
Note 6: Load regulation is measured at constant junction temperature using low duty cycle pulse testing. Two separate tests are performed, one for the range of  
100 µA to 1 mA and one for the 1 mA to 250 mA range. Changes in output voltage due to heating effects are covered by the thermal regulation specification.  
Note 7: Dropout voltage is defined as the input to output differential at which the output voltage drops 100 mV below the value measured with a 1V differential. At  
very low values of programmed output voltage, the input voltage minimum of 2V (2.3V over temperature) must be observed.

Electrical Characteristics (Continued)  
Note 8: Thermal regulation is the change in output voltage at a time T after a change in power dissipation, excluding load or line regulation effects. Specifications  
are for a 200 mA load pulse at V = 20V (3W pulse) for T = 10 ms on the Main regulator output. For the Auxiliary regulator output, specifications are for a 66 mA  
IN  
load pulse at V = 20V (1W pulse) for T = 10 ms.  
IN  
Note 9: Connect a 0.1 µF capacitor from the output to the feedback pin.  
Note 10: Load regulation is measured at constant junction temperature using low duty cycle pulse testing. Two separate tests are performed, one for the range of  
100 µA to 1 mA and one for the 1 mA to 75 mA range. Changes in output voltage due to heating effects are covered by the thermal regulation specification.  
Note 11: Dropout dectection comparator thresholds are expressed as changes in a 5V output. To express the threshold voltages in terms of a differential at the  
Feedback terminal, divide by the error amplifier gain = V  
/V  
.
OUT  
REF  
Note 12: The shutdown input equivalent circuit is the base of a grounded-emitter NPN transistor in series with a current-limiting resistor. Pulling the shutdown input  
high turns off the main regulator. For more details, see Application Hints.  
Note 13: The auxiliary regulator output has foldback limiting, which means the output current reduces with output voltage. The tested limit is for V  
= 0V, so the  
OUT  
output current will be higher at higher output voltages.  
Note 14: This test is performed with the auxiliary comparator output sinking 400 µA of current. At the upper trip point, the comparator output must be 2.4V. At the  
low trip point, the comparator output must be 0.4V.  
Note 15: Ground pin current is the regulator quiescent current. The total current drawn from the source is the sum of the ground pin current, output load current,  
and current through the external resistive dividers (if used).  
Note 16: All pins are rated for 2 kV, except for the auxiliary feedback pin which is rated for 1.2 kV (human body model, 100 pF discharged through 1.5 k).

Application Hints  
HEATSINK REQUIREMENTS  
A heatsink may be required with the LP2956 depending on  
the maximum power dissipation and maximum ambient tem-  
perature of the application. Under all expected operating  
conditions, the junction temperature must be within the  
range specified under Absolute Maximum Ratings.  
To determine if a heatsink is required, the maximum power  
dissipated by the regulator, P(max), must be calculated. It is  
important to remember that if the regulator is powered from  
a transformer connected to the AC line, the maximum  
specified AC input voltage must be used (since this pro-  
duces the maximum DC input voltage to the regulator).  
Figure 1 shows the voltages and currents which are present  
in the circuit. The formula for calculating the power dissi-  
pated in the regulator is also shown in Figure 1 (the currents  
and power due to external resistive dividers are not included,  
and are typically negligible).

Table 2 shows some typical values of junction-to-ambient  
thermal resistance (θ J-A) for values of L and W (1 oz.

FIGURE 1. Current/Voltage Diagram  
The next parameter which must be calculated is the maxi-  
mum allowable temperature rise, TR(max). This is calculated

A 2.2 µF (or greater) capacitor is required between the main  
output pin and ground to assure stability. The auxiliary output  
requires 10 µF to ground. Without these capacitors, the part  
may oscillate. Most types of tantalum or aluminum electro-  
lytics will work here. Film types will work, but are more  
expensive. Many aluminum electrolytics contain electrolytes  
which freeze at −30˚C, which requires the use of solid tan-  
talums below −25˚C. The important characteristic of the  
capacitors is an ESR of 5(or less) on the main regulator

dissipate heat from the LP2956:

output and an ESR of 1(or less) on the auxiliary regulator  
output (the ESR may increase by a factor of 20 or 30 as the  
temperature is reduced from +25˚C to −30˚C). The value of  
these capacitors may be increased without limit.  
The main output requires less capacitance at lighter load  
currents. This capacitor can be reduced to 0.68 µF for cur-  
rents below 10 mA or 0.22 µF for currents below 1 mA.  
Programming the main output for voltages below 5V requires  
more output capacitance for stability. For the worst-case  
condition of 1.23V output and 250 mA of load current, a 6.8  
µF (or larger) capacitor should be used.  
A 1 µF capacitor should be placed from the input pin to  
ground if there is more than 10 inches of wire between the  
input and the AC filter capacitor or if a battery input is used.  
Stray capacitance to the Feedback terminal can cause insta-  
bility. This problem is most likely to appear when using high  
value external resistors to set the output voltage. Adding a  
100 pF capacitor between the Output and Feedback pins  
and increasing the output capacitance to 6.8 µF (or greater)  
will cure the problem.

MINIMUM LOAD ON MAIN OUTPUT  
FIGURE 3. Adjustable Regulator  
DROPOUT VOLTAGE  
When setting the main output voltage using an external  
resistive divider, a minimum current of 10 µA is recom-  
mended through the resistors to provide a minimum load.  
The dropout voltage of the regulator is defined as the mini-  
mum input-to-output voltage differential required for the out-  
put voltage to stay within 100 mV of the output voltage  
measured with a 1V differential. The dropout voltage is in-  
dependent of the programmed output voltage.  
It should be noted that a minimum load current is specified in  
several of the electrical characteristic test conditions, so the  
specified value must be used to obtain test limit correlation.  
PROGRAMMING THE MAIN OUTPUT VOLTAGE  
The main output may be pin-strapped for 5V operation using  
its internal resistive divider by tying the Output and Sense  
pins together and also tying the Feedback and 5V Tap pins  
together.  
DROPOUT DETECTION COMPARATOR  
This comparator produces a logic “LOW” whenever the main  
output falls out of regulation by more than about 5%. This  
figure results from the comparator’s built-in offset of 60 mV  
divided by the 1.23V reference (refer to block diagram). The  
5% low trip level remains constant regardless of the pro-  
grammed output voltage. An out-of-regulation condition can  
result from low input voltage, current limiting, or thermal  
limiting.  
Alternatively, it may be programmed for any voltage between  
the 1.23V reference and the 29V maximum rating using an  
external pair of resistors (see Figure 3 ). The complete equa-  
tion for the output voltage is:  
Figure 4 gives a timing diagram showing the relationship  
between the main output voltage, the ERROR output, and  
input voltage as the input voltage is ramped up and down to  
a regulator whose main output is programmed for 5V. The  
ERROR signal becomes low at about 1.3V input. It goes high  
at about 5V input, where the main output equals 4.75V.  
Since the dropout voltage is load dependent, the input  
voltage trip points will vary with load current. The main  
output voltage trip point does not vary.  
where VREF is the 1.23V reference and IFB is the Feedback  
pin bias current (−20 nA typical). The minimum recom-  
mended load current of 1 µA sets an upper limit of 1.2 Mon  
the value of R2 in cases where the regulator must work with  
no load (see MINIMUM LOAD).  
If IFB is ignored in the calculation of the output voltage, it will  
produce a small error in VMAIN OUT. Choosing R2 = 100 kΩ  
will reduce this error to 0.16% (typical) while increasing the  
resistor program current to 12 µA. Since the typical quies-  
cent current is 130 µA, this added current is negligible.  
The comparator has an open-collector output which requires  
an external pull-up resistor. This resistor may be connected  
to the regulator main output or some other supply voltage.  
Using the main output prevents an invalid “HIGH” on the  
comparator output which occurs if it is pulled up to an  
external voltage while the regulator input voltage is reduced  
below 1.3V. In selecting a value for the pull-up resistor, note  
that while the output can sink 400 µA, this current adds to  
battery drain. Suggested values range from 100 kto 1 M.  
The resistor is not required if the output is unused.

Also, noise is no longer proportional to the output voltage, so  
improvements are more pronounced at higher output volt-  
ages.

external supply. To avoid this invalid response, pull up to regulator output

where: V  
= 1.23V and I = −10 nA (typical)  
FB  
REF  
If a single pull-up resistor is used to the regulator output, the  
error flag may briefly rise up to about 1.3V as the input  
voltage ramps up or down through the 0V to 1.3V region.  
FIGURE 5. Auxiliary Adjustable Regulator  
In some cases, this 1.3V signal may be mis-interpreted as a  
false high by a µP which is still “alive” with 1.3V applied to it.  
AUXILIARY LDO OUTPUT  
To prevent this, the user may elect to use two resistors  
which are equal in value on the error output (one connected  
to ground and the other connected to the regulator output).  
The LP2956 has an auxiliary LDO regulator output (which  
can source up to 75 mA) that is adjustable for voltages from  
1.23V to 29V.  
If this two-resistor divider is used, the error output will only be  
pulled up to about 0.6V (not 1.3V) during power-up or power-  
down, so it can not be interpreted as a high signal. When the  
regulator output is at 5V, the error output will be 2.5V, which  
is still clearly a high signal.  
The output voltage is set by an external resistive divider, as  
shown in Figure 5. The maximum output current is 75 mA,  
and the output requires 10 µF from the output to ground for  
stability, regardless of load current.  
SHUTDOWN INPUT  
OUTPUT ISOLATION  
The shutdown input equivalent circuit is shown in Figure 6.  
The main regulator output is shut down when the NPN  
transitor is turned ON.  
The regulator outputs can be left connected to an active  
voltage source (such as a battery) with the regulator input  
power shut off, as long as the regulator ground pin is con-  
nected to ground. If the ground pin is left floating, damage to  
the regulator can occur if the output is pulled up by an  
external voltage source.  
REDUCING MAIN OUTPUT NOISE  
In reference applications it may be advantageous to reduce  
the AC noise present on the main output. One method is to  
reduce regulator bandwidth by increasing output capaci-  
tance. This is relatively inefficient, since large increases in  
capacitance are required to get significant improvement.  
01133914  
FIGURE 6. Shutdown Circuitry  
Noise can be reduced more effectively by a bypass capacitor  
placed across R1 (refer to Figure 3 ). The formula for select-  
ing the capacitor to be used is:  
The current into the input should be at least 0.5 µA to assure  
the output shutdown function. A resistor may be placed in  
series with the input to minimize current draw in shutdown  
mode, provided this minimum input current requirement is  
met.  
IMPORTANT:  
This gives a value of about 0.1µF. When this is used, the  
output capacitor must be 6.8 µF (or greater) to maintain  
stability. The 0.1 µF capacitor reduces the high frequency  
noise gain of the circuit to unity, lowering the output noise  
from 260 µV to 80 µV using a 10 Hz to 100 kHz bandwidth.  
The shutdown input must not be left floating: a pull-down  
resistor (10 kto 50 krecommended) must be connected  
between the shutdown input and ground in cases where the  
input is not actively pulled low.
