LM340/LM78XX Series
3-Terminal Positive Regulators
General Description
The LM140/LM340A/LM340/LM7800C monolithic 3-terminal
positive voltage regulators employ internal current-limiting,
thermal shutdown and safe-area compensation, making
them essentially indestructible. If adequate heat sinking is
provided, theycan deliver over 1.0A output current. They are
intended as fixed voltage regulators in a wide range of
applications including local (on-card) regulation for elimination of noise and distribution problems associated with
single-point regulation. In addition to use as fixed voltage
regulators, these devices can be used with external components to obtain adjustable output voltages and currents.
Considerable effort was expended to make the entire series
of regulators easy to use and minimize the number of external components. It is not necessary to bypass the output,
although this does improve transient response. Input bypassing is needed only if the regulator is located far from the
filter capacitor of the power supply.
The 5V, 12V, and 15V regulator options are available in the
steel TO-3 power package. The LM340A/LM340/LM7800C
series is available in the TO-220 plastic power package, and
the LM340-5.0 is available in the SOT-223 package, as well
as the LM340-5.0 and LM340-12 in the surface-mount
TO-263 package.

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 at any ambient temperature is a function of the maximum junction temperature for operation (T
JMAX
= 125˚C
or 150˚C), the junction-to-ambient thermal resistance (θ
JA
), and the ambient temperature (TA). P
DMAX
=(T
JMAX−TA
)/θJA. If this dissipation is exceeded, the die
temperature will rise above T
JMAX
and the electrical specifications do not apply. If the die temperature rises above 150˚C, the device will go into thermal shutdown.
For the TO-3 package (K, KC), the junction-to-ambient thermal resistance (θ
JA
) is 39˚C/W. When using a heatsink, θJAis the sum of the 4˚C/W junction-to-case
thermal resistance (θ
JC
) of the TO-3 package and the case-to-ambient thermal resistance of the heatsink. For the TO-220 package (T), θJAis 54˚C/W and θJCis
4˚C/W. If SOT-223 is used, the junction-to-ambient thermal resistance is 174˚C/W and can be reduced by a heatsink (see Applications Hints on heatsinking).
If theTO-263 package is used, the thermal resistance can be reduced by increasing the PC board copper area thermally connected to the package: Using 0.5 square
inches of copper area, θ
JA
is 50˚C/W; with 1 square inch of copper area, θJAis 37˚C/W; and with 1.6 or more inches of copper area, θJAis 32˚C/W.
Note 3: ESD rating is based on the human body model, 100 pF discharged through 1.5 kΩ.
Note 4: All characteristics are measured with a 0.22 µF capacitor from input to ground and a 0.1 µF capacitor from output to ground.All characteristics except noise
voltage and ripple rejection ratio are measured using pulse techniques (t
w
≤ 10 ms, duty cycle ≤ 5%). Output voltage changes due to changes in internal temperature
must be taken into account separately.
Note 5: A military RETS specification is available on request. At the time of printing, the military RETS specifications for the LM140AK-5.0/883, LM140AK-12/883,
and LM140AK-15/883 complied with the min and max limits for the respective versions of the LM140A. At the time of printing, the military RETS specifications for
the LM140K-5.0/883, LM140K-12/883, and LM140K-15/883 complied with the min and max limits for the respective versions of the LM140. The LM140H/883,
LM140K/883, and LM140AK/883 may also be procured as a Standard Military Drawing.

Application Hints
The LM340/LM78XX series is designed with thermal protection, output short-circuit protection and output transistor safe
area protection. However, as with
any
IC regulator, it becomes necessary to take precautions to assure that the
regulator is not inadvertently damaged. The following describes possible misapplications and methods to prevent
damage to the regulator.
Shorting the Regulator Input: When using large capacitors
at the output of these regulators, a protection diode connected input to output (
Figure 1
) may be required if the input
is shorted to ground. Without the protection diode, an input
short will cause the input to rapidly approach ground poten-
tial, while the output remains near the initial V
OUT
because of
the stored charge in the large output capacitor. The capacitor
will then discharge through a large internal input to output
diode and parasitic transistors. If the energy released by the
capacitor is large enough, this diode, low current metal and
the regulator will be destroyed. The fast diode in
Figure 1
will
shunt most of the capacitors discharge current around the
regulator. Generally no protection diode is required for values of output capacitance ≤ 10 µF.
Raising the Output Voltage above the Input Voltage:
Since the output of the device does not sink current, forcing
the output high can cause damage to internal low current
paths in a manner similar to that just described in the “Shorting the Regulator Input” section.

Application Hints (Continued)
Regulator Floating Ground (
Figure 2
): When the ground
pin alone becomes disconnected, the output approaches the
unregulated input, causing possible damage to other circuits
connected to V
OUT
. If ground is reconnected with power
“ON”, damage may also occur to the regulator. This fault is
most likely to occur when plugging in regulators or modules
with on card regulators into powered up sockets. Power
should be turned off first, thermal limit ceases operating, or
ground should be connected first if power must be left on.
Transient Voltages: If transients exceed the maximum
rated input voltage of the device, or reach more than 0.8V
below ground and have sufficient energy, they will damage
the regulator. The solution is to use a large input capacitor, a
series input breakdown diode, a choke, a transient suppressor or a combination of these.
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 this 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 plane.
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 5
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).

Figures 6, 7
show the information for the SOT-223 package.
Figure 6
assumes a θ
(J–A)
of 74˚C/W for 1 ounce copper and
51˚C/W for 2 ounce copper and a maximum junction temperature of 125˚C.
Please see AN-1028 for power enhancement techniques to
be used with the SOT-223 package.
Typical Applications
Fixed Output Regulator

Note: Bypass capacitors are recommended for optimum stability and transient response, and should be located as close as possible to the regulator.
