LMS5214 80mA, Low Dropout Voltage Regulator with Auto Discharge Function in SC70
August 2002
General Description
The LMS5214 is a µCap, low dropout voltage regulator with
very low quiescent current, 110µA typical, at 80mA load. It
also has very low dropout voltage, typically 2mV at light load
and 300mV at 80mA.
The LMS5214 is an enhanced version of the industry standard LMS5213 with auto discharge function which actively
discharges the output voltage to ground when the device is
placed in shutdown mode. It provides up to 80mA and consumes a typical of 10nA in disable mode, which helps to
extend the battery life.
The LMS5214 is optimized to work with low value, low cost
ceramic capacitors. The output typically requires only 470nF
of output capacitance for stability. The enable pin can be tied
for easy device layout.

Low ground current at full load and small package makes the
LMS5214 ideal for portable, battery powered equipment applications with small space requirements.
The LMS5214 is available in a space saving 5-pin SC70
package. Performance is specified for the −40˚C to +125˚C
temperature range and is available in 2.5V, 2.6V, 2.8V, 2.9V,
3.0V and 3.3V fixed voltages. For other output voltage options, please contact National Semiconductor.

LMS5214
Application Information
The LMS5214 is a low dropout, linear regulator designed
primarily for battery-powered applications. The LMS5214
can be used with low cost ceramic capacitors, typical value
of 470nF.
The LMS5214 is an enhanced version of the LMS5213 with
auto discharge function which actively discharges the output
voltage to ground when the device is placed in shutdown
mode
As illustrated in the simplified schematics, the LMS5214
consists of a 1.25V reference, error amplifier, P-channel
pass transistor and internal feedback voltage divider. The
1.25V reference is connected to the input of the error amp.
The error amp compares this reference with the feedback
voltage. If the feedback voltage is lower than the reference,
the pass transistor gate is pulled lower allowing more current
to pass and increasing the output voltage. If the feedback
voltage is too high, the pass transistor gate is pulled up
allowing less current to pass to the output. The output voltage is fedback through the resistor divider. Additional blocks
include short circuit current protection and thermal protection.
The LMS5214 features an 80mA P-channel MOSFET transistor. This provides several advantages over similar designs
using PNP pass transistors including longer battery life.
The P-channel MOSFET requires no base drive, which reduces quiescent current considerably. PNP based regulators
waste considerable amounts of current in dropout when the
pass transistor saturates. They also have high base drive
currents under large loads. The LMS5214 does not suffer
from these problems and consumes only the specified quiescent current under light and heavy loads.
External Capacitors
Like any low-dropout regulators, the LMS5214 requires external capacitors for regulator stability. The LMS5214 is specially designed for portable applications requiring minimum
board space and the smallest components.
A 1µF capacitor should be placed from V
more than 10 inches of wire between the input and AC filter
or when a battery is used as the input. This capacitor must
be located a distance of not more than 1cm from the input
pin and returned to a clean analog ground.

IN
Start Up Characteristics
The LMS5214 is designed to work with high quality tantalum
capacitors and small ceramic output capacitors. Ceramic
capacitors ranging between 470nF to 4.7µF are the smallest
and least expensive.
No-Load Stability
The LMS5214 will remain stable and in regulation with
no-load (other than the internal voltage divider). This is
especially important in CMOS RAM keep-alive applications.
Enable Input
The LMS5214 is shut off by pulling the V
all internal circuitry is powered off and the quiescent current
is typically 10nA. Pulling the V

not used, the V

Thermal Behavior
The LMS5214 regulator has internal thermal shutdown to
protect the device from over heating. Under all operating
conditions, the maximum junction temperature of the
LMS5214 must be below 125˚C. Maximum power dissipation
can be calculated based on the output current and the
voltage drop across the part. The maximum power dissipation is
