3A Fast Response Ultra Low Dropout Linear Regulators  
General Description  
Features  
n Ultra low dropout voltage  
The LP3856-ADJ fast ultra low-dropout linear regulators op-  
erate from a +2.5V to +7.0V input supply. These ultra low  
dropout linear regulators respond very quickly to step  
changes in load, which makes them suitable for low voltage  
microprocessor applications. The LP3856-ADJ is developed  
on a CMOS process which allows low quiescent current  
operation independent of output load current. This CMOS  
process also allows the LP3856-ADJ to operate under ex-  
tremely low dropout conditions.

n Guaranteed output current of 3A DC  
n Available in TO-263 and TO-220 packages  
n Overtemperature/overcurrent protection  
n −40˚C to +125˚C junction temperature range

Note 1: Absolute maximum ratings indicate limits beyond which damage to the device may occur. Operating ratings indicate conditions for which the device is  
intended to be functional, but does not guarantee specific performance limits. For guaranteed specifications and test conditions, see Electrical Characteristics. The  
guaranteed specifications apply only for the test conditions listed. Some performance characteristics may degrade when the device is not operated under the listed  
test conditions.  
Note 2: At elevated temperatures, devices must be derated based on package thermal resistance. The devices in TO220 package must be derated at θ = 50˚C/W

Note 3: The human body model is a 100pF capacitor discharged through a 1.5kresistor into each pin.  
Note 4: Typical numbers are at 25˚C and represent the most likely parametric norm.  
Note 5: Limits are guaranteed by testing, design, or statistical correlation.  
Note 6: If used in a dual-supply system where the regulator load is returned to a negative supply, the output must be diode-clamped to ground.  
Note 7: The output PMOS structure contains a diode between the V and V  
terminals. This diode is normally reverse biased. This diode will get forward biased  
OUT  
IN  
if the voltage at the output terminal is forced to be higher than the voltage at the input terminal. This diode can typically withstand 200mA of DC current and 1Amp  
of peak current.  
Note 8: Output voltage line regulation is defined as the change in output voltage from the nominal value due to change in the input line voltage. Output voltage load  
regulation is defined as the change in output voltage from the nominal value due to change in load current.  
Note 9: Dropout voltage is defined as the minimum input to output differential voltage at which the output drops 2% below the nominal value. Dropout voltage  
specification applies only to output voltages of 2.5V and above. For output voltages below 2.5V, the drop-out voltage is nothing but the input to output differential,  
since the minimum input voltage is 2.5V.  
Note 10: The minimum operating value for V is equal to either [V  
+ V  
] or 2.5V, whichever is greater.

SETTING THE OUTPUT VOLTAGE  
suming that sufficient ceramic input capacitance is provided.  
This will allow stable operation using ceramic output capaci-  
tors (see next section).  
The output voltage is set using the resistors R1 and R2 (see  
Typical Application Circuit). The output is also dependent on  
the reference voltage (typically 1.216V) which is measured  
at the ADJ pin. The output voltage is given by the equation:  
OPERATION WITH CERAMIC OUTPUT CAPACITORS  
LP385X voltage regulators can operate with ceramic output  
capacitors if the values of input and output capacitors are  
selected appropriately. The total ceramic output capacitance  
must be equal to or less than a specified maximum value in  
order for the regulator to remain stable over all operating  
conditions. This maximum amount of ceramic output capaci-  
tance is dependent upon the amount of ceramic input ca-  
pacitance used as well as the load current of the application.  
This relationship is shown in Figure 2, which graphs the  
maximum stable value of ceramic output capacitance as a  
function of ceramic input capacitance for load currents of 1A,  
2A, and 3A. For example, if the maximum load current is 1A,  
a 10µF ceramic input capacitor will allow stable operation for  
values of ceramic output capacitance from 10µF up to about  
500µF.  
VOUT = VADJ x ( 1 + R1 / R2)  
This equation does not include errors due to the bias current  
flowing in the ADJ pin which is typically about 10 nA. This  
error term is negligible for most applications. If R1 is  
>
100k, a small error may be introduced by the ADJ bias  
current.  
The tolerance of the external resistors used contributes a  
significant error to the output voltage accuracy, with 1%  
resistors typically adding a total error of approximately 1.4%  
to the output voltage (this error is in addition to the tolerance  
of the reference voltage at VADJ).  
EXTERNAL CAPACITORS  
Like any low-dropout regulator, external capacitors are re-  
quired to assure stability. these capacitors must be correctly  
selected for proper performance.  
INPUT CAPACITOR: An input capacitor of at least 10µF is  
required. Ceramic or Tantalum may be used, and capaci-  
tance may be increased without limit  
OUTPUT CAPACITOR: An output capacitor is required for  
loop stability. It must be located less than 1 cm from the  
device and connected directly to the output and ground pins  
using traces which have no other currents flowing through  
them (see PCB Layout section).  
The minimum amount of output capacitance that can be  
used for stable operation is 10µF. For general usage across  
all load currents and operating conditions, the part was  
characterized using a 10µF Tantalum input capacitor. The  
minimum and maximum stable ESR range for the output  
capacitor was then measured which kept the device stable,  
assuming any output capacitor whose value is greater than  
10µF (see Figure 1 below).  
20074295  
FIGURE 2. Maximum Ceramic Output Capacitance vs  
Ceramic Input Capacitance  
If the maximum load current is 2A and a 10µF ceramic input  
capacitor is used, the regulator will be stable with ceramic  
output capacitor values from 10µF up to about 50µF. At 3A of  
load current, the ratio of input to output capacitance required  
approaches 1:1, meaning that whatever amount of ceramic  
output capacitance is used must also be provided at the  
input for stable operation. For load currents between 1A, 2A,  
and 3A, interpolation may be used to approximate values on  
the graph. When calculating the total ceramic output capaci-  
tance present in an application, it is necessary to include any  
ceramic bypass capacitors connected to the regulator out-  
put.  
20074270  
CFF (Feed Forward Capacitor)  
The capacitor CFF is required to add phase lead and help  
improve loop compensation. The correct amount of capaci-  
tance depends on the value selected for R1 (see Typical  
Application Circuit). The capacitor should be selected such  
that the zero frequency as given by the equation shown  
below is approximately 45 kHz:  
FIGURE 1. ESR Curve for COUT (with 10µF Tantalum  
Input Capacitor)  
It should be noted that it is possible to operate the part with  
an output capacitor whose ESR is below these limits, as-  
Fz = 45,000 = 1 / ( 2 x π x R1 x CFF  
)

greatly with temperature. A typical aluminum electrolytic can  
exhibit an ESR increase of as much as 50X when going from  
25˚C down to −40˚C.  
Application Hints (Continued)  
A good quality ceramic with X5R or X7R dielectric should be  
used for this capacitor.  
It should also be noted that many aluminum electrolytics only  
specify impedance at a frequency of 120 Hz, which indicates  
they have poor high frequency performance. Only aluminum  
electrolytics that have an impedance specified at a higher  
frequency (between 20 kHz and 100 kHz) should be used for  
the LP385X. Derating must be applied to the manufacturer’s  
ESR specification, since it is typically only valid at room  
temperature.  
SELECTING A CAPACITOR  
It is important to note that capacitance tolerance and varia-  
tion with temperature must be taken into consideration when  
selecting a capacitor so that the minimum required amount  
of capacitance is provided over the full operating tempera-  
ture range. In general, a good Tantalum capacitor will show  
very little capacitance variation with temperature, but a ce-  
ramic may not be as good (depending on dielectric type).  
Aluminum electrolytics also typically have large temperature  
variation of capacitance value.  
Any applications using aluminum electrolytics should be  
thoroughly tested at the lowest ambient operating tempera-  
ture where ESR is maximum.  
Equally important to consider is a capacitor’s ESR change  
with temperature: this is not an issue with ceramics, as their  
ESR is extremely low. However, it is very important in Tan-  
talum and aluminum electrolytic capacitors. Both show in-  
creasing ESR at colder temperatures, but the increase in  
aluminum electrolytic capacitors is so severe they may not  
be feasible for some applications (see Capacitor Character-  
istics Section).  
PCB LAYOUT  
Good PC layout practices must be used or instability can be  
induced because of ground loops and voltage drops. The  
input and output capacitors must be directly connected to the  
input, output, and ground pins of the LP3856-ADJ using  
traces which do not have other currents flowing in them  
(Kelvin connect).  
The best way to do this is to lay out CIN and COUT near the  
device with short traces to the VIN, VOUT, and ground pins.  
The regulator ground pin should be connected to the exter-  
nal circuit ground so that the regulator and its capacitors  
have a "single point ground".  
CAPACITOR CHARACTERISTICS  
CERAMIC: For values of capacitance in the 10 to 100 µF  
range, ceramics are usually larger and more costly than  
tantalums but give superior AC performance for bypassing  
high frequency noise because of very low ESR (typically less  
than 10 m). However, some dielectric types do not have  
good capacitance characteristics as a function of voltage  
and temperature.  
It should be noted that stability problems have been seen in  
applications where "vias" to an internal ground plane were  
used at the ground points of the IC and the input and output  
capacitors. This was caused by varying ground potentials at  
these nodes resulting from current flowing through the  
ground plane. Using a single point ground technique for the  
regulator and it’s capacitors fixed the problem.  
Z5U and Y5V dielectric ceramics have capacitance that  
drops severely with applied voltage. A typical Z5U or Y5V  
capacitor can lose 60% of its rated capacitance with half of  
the rated voltage applied to it. The Z5U and Y5V also exhibit  
a severe temperature effect, losing more than 50% of nomi-  
nal capacitance at high and low limits of the temperature  
range.  
Since high current flows through the traces going into VIN  
and coming from VOUT, Kelvin connect the capacitor leads to  
these pins so there is no voltage drop in series with the input  
and output capacitors.  
X7R and X5R dielectric ceramic capacitors are strongly rec-  
ommended if ceramics are used, as they typically maintain a  
capacitance range within 20% of nominal over full operat-  
ing ratings of temperature and voltage. Of course, they are  
typically larger and more costly than Z5U/Y5U types for a  
given voltage and capacitance.  
RFI/EMI SUSCEPTIBILITY  
RFI (radio frequency interference) and EMI (electromagnetic  
interference) can degrade any integrated circuit’s perfor-  
mance because of the small dimensions of the geometries  
inside the device. In applications where circuit sources are  
present which generate signals with significant high fre-  
TANTALUM: Solid Tantalum capacitors are typically recom-  
mended for use on the output because their ESR is very  
close to the ideal value required for loop compensation.  
>
quency energy content ( 1 MHz), care must be taken to  
ensure that this does not affect the IC regulator.  
If RFI/EMI noise is present on the input side of the regulator  
(such as applications where the input source comes from the  
output of a switching regulator), good ceramic bypass ca-  
pacitors must be used at the input pin of the IC.  
Tantalums also have good temperature stability: a good  
quality Tantalum will typically show a capacitance value that  
varies less than 10-15% across the full temperature range of  
125˚C to −40˚C. ESR will vary only about 2X going from the  
high to low temperature limits.  
If a load is connected to the IC output which switches at high  
speed (such as a clock), the high-frequency current pulses  
required by the load must be supplied by the capacitors on  
the IC output. Since the bandwidth of the regulator loop is  
less than 100 kHz, the control circuitry cannot respond to  
load changes above that frequency. The means the effective  
output impedance of the IC at frequencies above 100 kHz is  
determined only by the output capacitor(s).  
The increasing ESR at lower temperatures can cause oscil-  
lations when marginal quality capacitors are used (if the ESR  
of the capacitor is near the upper limit of the stability range at  
room temperature).  
ALUMINUM: This capacitor type offers the most capaci-  
tance for the money. The disadvantages are that they are  
larger in physical size, not widely available in surface mount,  
and have poor AC performance (especially at higher fre-  
quencies) due to higher ESR and ESL.  
In applications where the load is switching at high speed, the  
output of the IC may need RF isolation from the load. It is  
recommended that some inductance be placed between the  
output capacitor and the load, and good RF bypass capaci-  
tors be placed directly across the load.  
Compared by size, the ESR of an aluminum electrolytic is  
higher than either Tantalum or ceramic, and it also varies

DROPOUT VOLTAGE  
Application Hints (Continued)  
The dropout voltage of a regulator is defined as the minimum  
input-to-output differential required to stay within 2% of the  
nominal output voltage. For CMOS LDOs, the dropout volt-  
age is the product of the load current and the Rds(on) of the  
internal MOSFET.  
PCB layout is also critical in high noise environments, since  
RFI/EMI is easily radiated directly into PC traces. Noisy  
circuitry should be isolated from "clean" circuits where pos-  
sible, and grounded through a separate path. At MHz fre-  
quencies, ground planes begin to look inductive and RFI/  
EMI can cause ground bounce across the ground plane.  
REVERSE CURRENT PATH  
In multi-layer PCB applications, care should be taken in  
layout so that noisy power and ground planes do not radiate  
directly into adjacent layers which carry analog power and  
ground.  
The internal MOSFET in LP3856-ADJ has an inherent para-  
sitic diode. During normal operation, the input voltage is  
higher than the output voltage and the parasitic diode is  
reverse biased. However, if the output is pulled above the  
input in an application, then current flows from the output to  
the input as the parasitic diode gets forward biased. The  
output can be pulled above the input as long as the current  
in the parasitic diode is limited to 200mA continuous and 1A  
peak.  
OUTPUT NOISE  
Noise is specified in two ways-  
Spot Noise or Output noise density is the RMS sum of all  
noise sources, measured at the regulator output, at a spe-  
cific frequency (measured with a 1Hz bandwidth). This type  
of noise is usually plotted on a curve as a function of fre-  
quency.  
POWER DISSIPATION/HEATSINKING  
The LP3856-ADJ can deliver a continuous current of 3A over  
the full operating temperature range. A heatsink may be  
required depending on the maximum power dissipation and  
maximum ambient temperature of the application. Under all  
possible conditions, the junction temperature must be within  
the range specified under operating conditions. The total  
power dissipation of the device is given by:  
Total output Noise or Broad-band noise is the RMS sum  
of spot noise over a specified bandwidth, usually several  
decades of frequencies.  
Attention should be paid to the units of measurement. Spot  
noise is measured in units µV/ Hz or nV/ Hz and total output  
noise is measured in µV(rms).  
PD = (VIN−VOUT)IOUT+ (VIN)IGND  
The primary source of noise in low-dropout regulators is the  
internal reference. In CMOS regulators, noise has a low  
frequency component and a high frequency component,  
which depend strongly on the silicon area and quiescent  
current. Noise can be reduced in two ways: by increasing the  
transistor area or by increasing the current drawn by the  
internal reference. Increasing the area will decrease the  
chance of fitting the die into a smaller package. Increasing  
the current drawn by the internal reference increases the  
total supply current (ground pin current). Using an optimized  
trade-off of ground pin current and die size, LP3856-ADJ  
achieves low noise performance and low quiescent current  
operation.

(specified under Electrical Characteristics).  
The maximum allowable temperature rise (TRmax) depends  
on the maximum ambient temperature (TAmax) of the appli-  
cation, and the maximum allowable junction temperature  
(TJmax):  
TRmax = TJmax− TAmax  
The maximum allowable value for junction to ambient Ther-  
mal Resistance, θJA, can be calculated using the formula:  
θJA = TRmax / PD  
LP3856-ADJ is available in TO-220 and TO-263 packages.  
The thermal resistance depends on amount of copper area  
or heat sink, and on air flow. If the maximum allowable value  
of θJA calculated above is 60 ˚C/W for TO-220 package  
and 60 ˚C/W for TO-263 package no heatsink is needed  
since the package can dissipate enough heat to satisfy these  
requirements. If the value for allowable θJA falls below these  
limits, a heat sink is required.  
The total output noise specification for LP3856-ADJ is pre-  
sented in the Electrical Characteristics table. The Output  
noise density at different frequencies is represented by a  
curve under typical performance characteristics.  
SHORT-CIRCUIT PROTECTION  
The LP3856-ADJ is short circuit protected and in the event of  
a peak over-current condition, the short-circuit control loop  
will rapidly drive the output PMOS pass element off. Once  
the power pass element shuts down, the control loop will  
rapidly cycle the output on and off until the average power  
dissipation causes the thermal shutdown circuit to respond  
to servo the on/off cycling to a lower frequency. Please refer  
to the section on thermal information for power dissipation  
calculations.  
HEATSINKING TO-220 PACKAGE  
The thermal resistance of a TO220 package can be reduced  
by attaching it to a heat sink or a copper plane on a PC  
board. If a copper plane is to be used, the values of θJA will  
be same as shown in next section for TO263 package.  
The heatsink to be used in the application should have a  
heatsink to ambient thermal resistance,  
θHA≤ θJA θCH θJC  
.
SHUTDOWN OPERATION  
In this equation, θCH is the thermal resistance from the case  
to the surface of the heat sink and θJC is the thermal resis-  
tance from the junction to the surface of the case. θJC is  
about 3˚C/W for a TO220 package. The value for θCH de-  
pends on method of attachment, insulator, etc. θCH varies  
between 1.5˚C/W to 2.5˚C/W. If the exact value is unknown,  
2˚C/W can be assumed.  
A CMOS Logic level signal at the shutdown ( SD) pin will  
turn-off the regulator. Pin SD must be actively terminated  
through a 10kpull-up resistor for a proper operation. If this  
pin is driven from a source that actively pulls high and low  
(such as a CMOS rail to rail comparator), the pull-up resistor  
is not required. This pin must be tied to Vin if not used.

As shown in the figure, increasing the copper area beyond 1  
square inch produces very little improvement. The minimum  
value for θJA for the TO-263 package mounted to a PCB is  
32˚C/W.  
Application Hints (Continued)  
HEATSINKING TO-263 PACKAGE  
The TO-263 package uses the copper plane on the PCB as  
a heatsink. The tab of these packages are soldered to the  
copper plane for heat sinking. Figure 3 shows a curve for the  
Figure 4 shows the maximum allowable power dissipation  
for TO-263 packages for different ambient temperatures,  
assuming θJA is 35˚C/W and the maximum junction tempera-  
ture is 125˚C.
