LM2940/LM2940C 1A Low Dropout Regulator
General Description
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 beenincluded which reduces the ground cur­rent when the differential between the input voltage 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 (V
IN−VOUT
≤ 3V).
Designed also for vehicular applications, the LM2940/ LM2940C and all regulated circuitry are protected from re­verse battery installations or 2-battery jumps. During line transients, such as load dump when the input voltage can
momentarily exceed the specified maximum operating volt­age, 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 in­sertion. Familiar regulator features such as short circuit and thermal overload protection are also provided.

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
J
, the junction-to-ambient thermal resistance, θ
J−A
, and the
ambient temperature, T
A
. Exceeding the maximum allowable power dissipation will cause excessive die temperature, and the regulator will go into thermal shutdown.
The value ofθ
J−A
(for devices instillairwithnoheatsink) is 60˚C/W for the TO-220 package, 80˚C/W for the TO-263 package, and 174˚C/W for the SOT-223package.
The effective value of θ
J−A
can be reduced by using a heatsink (seeApplication Hints for specific information on heatsinking). The values of θ
J−A
and θ
J−C
for the K02A
package are 39˚C/W and 4˚C/W respectively.
Note 3: ESD rating is based on the human body model, 100 pF discharged through 1.5 kΩ. Note 4: All limits are guaranteed at T
A=TJ
= 25˚C only (standard typeface) or over the entire operating temperature range of the indicated device (boldface type).
All limits at T
A=TJ
= 25˚C are 100% production tested. All limits at temperature extremes are guaranteed via correlation using standard Statistical Quality Control
methods. Note 5: All limits are guaranteed at T
A=TJ
= 25˚C only (standard typeface) or over the entire operating temperature range of the indicated device (boldface type).
All limits are 100% production tested and are used to calculate Outgoing Quality Levels.
Note 6: Output current will decrease with increasing temperature but will not drop below 1A at the maximum specified temperature.

EXTERNAL CAPACITORS
The output capacitor is critical to maintaining regulator stabil­ity, and must meet the required conditions for both ESR (Equivalent Series Resistance) and minimum amount of ca­pacitance.
MINIMUM CAPACITANCE: The minimum output capacitance required to maintain stabil-
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 essen­tial that the output capacitor meet these requirements, or oscillations can result.
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 tem­perature operation.
Solid tantalum capacitors have a more stable ESR over tem­perature, but are more expensive than aluminum electrolyt­ics. A cost-effective approach sometimes used is to parallel

Application Hints (Continued)
an aluminum electrolytic with a solid Tantalum, with the total capacitance split about 75/25% with the Aluminum being the larger value.
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.
HEATSINKING
To determine if a heatsink is required, the power dissipated by the regulator, P
D
, 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:
R
(max). This is calcu-
lated by using the formula:
T
R
(max) = TJ(max) − TA(max)
where: T
J
(max) is the maximum allowable junction tem-
perature, which is 125˚C for commercial grade parts.
T
A
(max) is the maximum ambient temperature
which will be encountered in the applica­tion.
Using the calculated values for T
R
(max) and PD, the maxi­mum allowable value for the junction-to-ambient thermal re­sistance, θ
(J−A)
, can now be found:
θ
(J−A)=TR
(max)/P
D
IMPORTANT: If the maximum allowable value for θ
(J−A)
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 pack­age, no heatsink is needed since the package alone will dis­sipate enough heat to satisfy these requirements.
If the calculated value for θ
(J−A)
falls below these limits, a
heatsink is required.
HEATSINKING TO-220 PACKAGE PARTS
The TO-220 can be attached to a typical heatsink, or se­cured to a copper plane on a PC board. If a copper plane is to be used, the values of θ
(J−A)
will be the same as shown in
the next section for the TO-263.
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
(J−A)
− 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.
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 attachment, insulator, etc.). If the exact value is unknown, 2˚C/W should be assumed for 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 3
shows for the TO-263 the measured values of θ
(J−A)
for different copper area sizes using a typical PCB with 1 ounce copper
and no solder mask over the copper area used
for heatsinking.
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
(J−A)
for the TO-263
package mounted to a PCB is 32˚C/W. As a design aid,
Figure 4
shows the maximum allowable power dissipation compared to ambient temperature for the TO-263 device (assuming θ
(J−A)
is 35˚C/W and the maxi-
mum junction temperature is 125˚C).
