LM2940/LM2940C  
1A Low Dropout Regulator  
General Description  
momentarily exceed the specified maximum operating volt-  
age, the regulator will automatically shut down to protect  
both the internal circuits and the load. The LM2940/  
LM2940C cannot be harmed by temporary mirror-image in-  
sertion. Familiar regulator features such as short circuit and  
thermal overload protection are also provided.  
The LM2940/LM2940C positive voltage regulator features  
the ability to source 1A of output current with a dropout  
voltage of typically 0.5V and a maximum of 1V over the  
entire temperature range. Furthermore, a quiescent current  
reduction circuit has been included which reduces the  
ground current when the differential between the input volt-  
age and the output voltage exceeds approximately 3V. The  
quiescent current with 1A of output current and an input-  
output differential of 5V is therefore only 30 mA. Higher  
quiescent currents only exist when the regulator is in the  
dropout mode (VIN − VOUT 3V).  
Features  
@
n Dropout voltage typically 0.5V IO = 1A  
n Output current in excess of 1A  
n Output voltage trimmed before assembly  
n Reverse battery protection  
Designed also for vehicular applications, the LM2940/  
LM2940C and all regulated circuitry are protected from re-  
verse battery installations or 2-battery jumps. During line  
transients, such as load dump when the input voltage can

n Mirror image insertion protection

Note 1: Absolute Maximum Ratings are limits beyond which damage to the device may occur. Operating Conditions are conditions under which the device functions  
but the specifications might not be guaranteed. For guaranteed specifications and test conditions see the Electrical Characteristics.  
Note 2: The maximum allowable power dissipation is a function of the maximum junction temperature, T , the junction-to-ambient thermal resistance, θ , and the  
J
JA  
ambient temperature, T . Exceeding the maximum allowable power dissipation will cause excessive die temperature, and the regulator will go into thermal shutdown.  
A
The value of θ (for devices in still air with no heatsink) is 60˚C/W for the TO-220 package, 80˚C/W for the TO-263 package, and 174˚C/W for the SOT-223 package.  
JA  
The effective value of θ can be reduced by using a heatsink (see Application Hints for specific information on heatsinking). The value of θ for the LLP package  
JA  
JA  
is specifically dependent on PCB trace area, trace material, and the number of layers and thermal vias. For improved thermal resistance and power dissipation for  
the LLP package, refer to Application Note AN-1187. It is recommended that 6 vias be placed under the center pad to improve thermal performance.

Output Capacitor ESR  
EXTERNAL CAPACITORS  
The output capacitor is critical to maintaining regulator sta-  
bility, and must meet the required conditions for both ESR  
(Equivalent Series Resistance) and minimum amount of ca-  
pacitance.  
MINIMUM CAPACITANCE:  
The minimum output capacitance required to maintain sta-  
bility is 22 µF (this value may be increased without limit).  
Larger values of output capacitance will give improved tran-  
sient response.  
ESR LIMITS:  
The ESR of the output capacitor will cause loop instability if  
it is too high or too low. The acceptable range of ESR plotted  
versus load current is shown in the graph below. It is essen-  
tial that the output capacitor meet these requirements,  
or oscillations can result.  
00882206  
FIGURE 1. ESR Limits  
It is important to note that for most capacitors, ESR is  
specified only at room temperature. However, the designer  
must ensure that the ESR will stay inside the limits shown  
over the entire operating temperature range for the design.  
For aluminum electrolytic capacitors, ESR will increase by  
about 30X as the temperature is reduced from 25˚C to  
−40˚C. This type of capacitor is not well-suited for low tem-  
perature operation.  
Solid tantalum capacitors have a more stable ESR over  
temperature, but are more expensive than aluminum elec-  
trolytics. A cost-effective approach sometimes used is to

parallel an aluminum electrolytic with a solid Tantalum, with  
the total capacitance split about 75/25% with the Aluminum  
being the larger value.  
The TO-220 can be attached to a typical heatsink, or se-  
cured to a copper plane on a PC board. If a copper plane is  
to be used, the values of θ(JA) will be the same as shown in  
the next section for the TO-263.  
If two capacitors are paralleled, the effective ESR is the  
parallel of the two individual values. The “flatter” ESR of the  
Tantalum will keep the effective ESR from rising as quickly at  
low temperatures.  
If a manufactured heatsink is to be selected, the value of  
heatsink-to-ambient thermal resistance, θ(H−A), must first be  
calculated:  
θ(H−A) = θ(JA) θ(C−H) θ(J−C)  
Where: θ(J−C) is defined as the thermal resistance from the  
junction to the surface of the case. A value of  
3˚C/W can be assumed for θ(J−C) for this  
calculation.  
HEATSINKING  
A heatsink may be required depending on the maximum  
power dissipation and maximum ambient temperature of the  
application. Under all possible operating conditions, the junc-  
tion temperature must be within the range specified under  
Absolute Maximum Ratings.  
θ(C−H) is defined as the thermal resistance between  
the case and the surface of the heatsink. The  
value of θ(C−H) will vary from about 1.5˚C/W to  
about 2.5˚C/W (depending on method of at-  
tachment, insulator, etc.). If the exact value is  
unknown, 2˚C/W should be assumed for  
To determine if a heatsink is required, the power dissipated  
by the regulator, PD, must be calculated.  
The figure below shows the voltages and currents which are  
present in the circuit, as well as the formula for calculating  
the power dissipated in the regulator:  
θ(C−H)  
.
When a value for θ(H−A) is found using the equation shown,  
a heatsink must be selected that has a value that is less than  
or equal to this number.  
θ(H−A) is specified numerically by the heatsink manufacturer  
in the catalog, or shown in a curve that plots temperature rise  
vs power dissipation for the heatsink.  
HEATSINKING TO-263 AND SOT-223 PACKAGE PARTS  
Both the TO-263 (“S”) and SOT-223 (“MP”) packages use a  
copper plane on the PCB and the PCB itself as a heatsink.  
To optimize the heat sinking ability of the plane and PCB,  
solder the tab of the package to the plane.

FIGURE 2. Power Dissipation Diagram  
The next parameter which must be calculated is the maxi-  
mum allowable temperature rise, TR (max). This is calcu-  
lated by using the formula:  
TR (max) = TJ(max) − TA (max)  
where: TJ (max) is the maximum allowable junction tem-  
perature, which is 125˚C for commercial  
grade parts.  
TA (max) is the maximum ambient temperature  
which will be encountered in the  
application.  
Using the calculated values for TR(max) and PD, the maxi-  
mum allowable value for the junction-to-ambient thermal  
resistance, θ(JA), can now be found:  
θ(JA) = TR (max)/PD  
00882238  
IMPORTANT: If the maximum allowable value for θ(JA) is  
found to be 53˚C/W for the TO-220 package, 80˚C/W for  
the TO-263 package, or 174˚C/W for the SOT-223 pack-  
age, no heatsink is needed since the package alone will  
dissipate enough heat to satisfy these requirements.  
FIGURE 3. θ(JA) vs. Copper (1 ounce) Area for the  
TO-263 Package  
As shown in the figure, increasing the copper area beyond 1  
square inch produces very little improvement. It should also  
be observed that the minimum value of θ(JA) for the TO-263  
package mounted to a PCB is 32˚C/W.  
If the calculated value for θ(JA)falls below these limits, a  
heatsink is required.  
As a design aid, Figure 4 shows the maximum allowable  
power dissipation compared to ambient temperature for the  
TO-263 device (assuming θ(JA) is 35˚C/W and the maximum  
junction temperature is 125˚C).
