The SPX2920 is a low power voltage regulator. This device is an excellent choice for use in battery-powered applications such as
cordless telephones, radio control systems, and portable computers. The SPX2920 features very low quiescent current (140µA Typ.)
and very low dropout voltage. This includes a tight initial tolerance of 1% max and very low output temperature coefficient, making
the SPX2920 useful as a low-power voltage reference.
The error flag output feature is used as power-on reset for warning of a low output voltage, due to a falling voltage input of batteries.
Another feature is the logic-compatible shutdown input which enables the regulator to be switched on and off. The SPX2920 is
offered in 3-pin and 5-pin TO-220 package, SO-8 (same pin out as SPX2951), SOT-223, and surface mount TO-263 packages.
The regulator output voltage (of the 8-pin SO-8 and 5-pin TO-220 & TO-263) may be pin-strapped for a 2.5V, 3.3V and 5.0V or
programmed from 1.24V to 26V with an external pair of resistors..

APPLICATION HINTS
EXTERNAL CAPACITORS
The stability of the SPX2920 requires a 2.2µF or greater
capacitor between output and ground. Oscillation could occur
without this capacitor. Most types of tantalum or aluminum
electrolytic works fine here. For operations of below -25°C solid
tantalum is recommended since the many aluminum types have
electrolytes the freeze at about -30°C. The ESR of about 5Ω or
less and resonant frequency above 500kHz are the most
important parameters in the value of the capacitor. The capacitor
value can be increased without limit.
At lower values of output current, less output capacitance is
required for stability. For the currents below 10mA the value of
the capacitor can be reduced to 0.5µF and 0.15µF for 1mA. More
output capacitance needed for the 8-pin version at voltages below
5V since it runs the error amplifier at lower gain. At worst case
5µF or greater must be used for the condition of 250mA load at
1.23V output.
The SPX2920, unlike other low dropout regulators will remain
stable and in regulation with no load in addition to the internal
voltage divider. This feature is especially important in
application like CMOS RAM keep-alive. When setting the output
voltage of the SPX2920, a minimum load of 10mA is
recommended.
If there is more than 10 inches of wire between the input and the
AC filter capacitor or if a battery is used as the input then a 0.1µF
tantalum or aluminum electrolytic capacitor should be placed
from the input to the ground.
Instability can occur if there is stray capacitance to the SPX2920
feedback terminal (pin 7). This could cause more problems when
using a higher value of external resistors to set the output voltage.

This problem can be fixed by adding a 100pF capacitor between
output and feedback and increasing the output capacitor to at least
3.3µF.
ERROR DETECTION COMPARATOR OUTPUT
The Comparator produces a logic low output whenever the SPX2920
output falls out of regulation by more than around 5%. This is around
60mV offset divided by the 1.235 reference voltage. This trip level
remains 5% below normal regardless of the programmed output
voltage of the regulator. Figure 1 shows the timing diagram depicting
the ERROR signal and the regulator output voltage as the SPX2920
input is ramped up and down. The ERROR signal becomes low at
around 1.3V input, and goes high around 5V input (input voltage at
which Vout = 4.75). Since the SPX2920’s dropout voltage is load
dependent, the input voltage trip point (around 5V) will vary with the
load current. The output voltage trip point (approx. 4.75V) does not
vary with load.
The error comparator has an open-collector output, which requires an
external pull-up resistor. Depending on the system requirements the
resistor may be returned to 5V output or other supply voltage. In
determining the value of this resistor, note that the output is rated to
sink 400µA, this value adds to battery drain in a low battery
condition. Suggested values range from 100K to 1MΩ. If the output
is unused this resistor is not required.
PROGRAMMING THE OUTPUT VOLTAGE OF
SPX2920
The SPX2920 may be pin-strapped for 5V using its internal voltage
divider by tying Pin 1 (output) to Pin 2 (sense) and Pin 7 (feedback)
to Pin 6 (5V Tap).

Also, it may be programmed for any output voltage between its
1.235V reference and its 30V maximum rating. As seen in
Figure 2, an external pair of resistors is required.

HEAT SINK REQUIREMENTS
Depending on the maximum ambient temperature and maximum
power dissipation a heat sink may be required with the SPX2920.
The junction temperature range has to be within the range
specified under Absolute Maximum Ratings under all possible
operating conditions. To find out if a heat sink is required, the
maximum power dissipation of the device needs to be calculated.
This is the maximum specific AC voltage that must be taken into
consideration at input. Figure 3 shows the condition and power
dissipation which should be calculated with the following
formula:

REDUCING OUTPUT NOISE
It may be an advantage to reduce the AC noise present at the output.
One way is to reduce the regulator bandwidth by increasing the size of
the output capacitor. This is the only way that noise can be reduced
on the 3 lead SPX2920 but is relatively inefficient, as increasing the
capacitor from 1µF to 220µF only decreases the noise from 430µV to
160µV Vrms for a 100kHz bandwidth at 5V output.
Noise could also be reduced fourfold by a bypass capacitor across R
,

since it reduces the high frequency gain from 4 to unity. Pick

or choose 0.01µF. When doing this, the output capacitor must be
increased to 3.3µF to maintain stability. These changes reduce the
output noise from 430µV to 100µV Vrms for a 100kHz bandwidth at
5V output. With the bypass capacitor added, noise no longer scales
with output voltage so that improvements are more dramatic at higher
output voltages.
