The SPX29300/01/02/03 are 3A, highly accurate voltage regulators with a low drop out
voltage of 450mV dropout (typical) @ 3A. These regulators are specifically designed for low
voltage applications that require a low dropout voltage and a fast transient response. They
are fully fault protected against over-current, reverse battery, and positive and negative
voltage transients. On-Chip trimming adjusts the reference voltage to 1% initial accuracy.
Other features in the 5 pin versions include Enable, and Error Flag.

NOTES:
Note 1: Maximum positive supply voltage of 20V must be of limited duration (<100ms) and duty cycle of less than 1%. The maximum continuous supply
voltage is 16V.
Note 2: Full load current (IFL) is defined as 3.0A.
Note 3: Dropout voltage is defined as the input to output differential when the output voltage drops to 99% of its nominal value.
Note 4: VIN = V
Note 5: Ground pin current is the regulator quiescent current. The total current drawn from the source is the sum of the load current to the ground current.
Note 6: Output voltage temperature coefficient is defined as the worst case voltage change divided by the total temperature range
Note 7: Thermal regulation is defined as the change in output voltage at time T after a change in power dissipation is applied, excluding load / line regulation effects.
Specifications for a 200mA load pulse as VIN = 20V (a 4W pulse) for t = 10ms.
Note 8: V
Note 9: Comparator threshold is expressed in terms of a voltage differential at the Adjust terminal below the nominal reference voltage measured 6V input. To
express these thresholds in terms of output voltage change, multiply the error amplifier gain = V
output voltage of 5V, the Error output is guaranteed to go low when the output drops by 95mVx 5V/ 1.240V = 38mV. Threshold remain constant as a percent of

The SPX29300/01/02/03 incorporates protection against over-current faults, reversed load
insertion, over temperature operation, and
positive and negative transient voltage.
Thermal Considerations
Although the SPX29300/01/02/03 offers
limiting circuitry for overload conditions, it is
still necessary to insure that the maximum
junction temperature is not exceeded in the
application. Heat will flow through the lowest
resistance path, the junction-to-case path. In
order to insure the best thermal flow of the
component, proper mounting is required.

Assume that V

OUT
= 5V, I
OUT
=
1.5A, TA = 50°C, θHA= 1°C/W, θCH= 2°C/W,
and θJC= 3C°/W, where:
TA = ambient temperature,
θHA= heatsink to ambient thermal
resistance
θCH= case to heatsink thermal
resistance
θJC = junction to case thermal
resistance
The power calculated under these conditions
is:
The output capacitor is needed to insure
stability and minimize the output noise. The
value of the capacitor varies with the load.
However, a minimum value of 10µF aluminum capacitor will guarantee stability over all
load conditions. A tantalum capacitor is
recommended if a faster load transient
response is needed. If the power source has a
high AC impedance, a 0.1µF ceramic capacitor between input & ground is recommended.
Minimum Load Current
To ensure a proper behavior of the regulator
under light load, a minimum load of 5mA for
SPX29300/01/02/03 is required.
Adjustable Regulator Design
The SPX29302/03 are adjustable regulators
that can be programmed to any value between
1.25V and 16V using 2 resistors, R1 and R2.
The relationship between the resistors is:
R1 = R2(Vout/1.240-1).
Error Flag
The SPX29301/03 features an error flag that
indicates either an over current or under
voltage condition. The flag output goes low,
sinking 10mA when either condition occurs.
Enable Input
The SPX29301/02 have an Enable function
that switches the regulator on and off. Their
thresholds are TTL compatible. When the
regulator is active, approximately 20 uA flows
through the Enable pin.
Typical Application Circuits
Figure 1 represents at typical fixed output
regulator. Figure 2 represents an adjustable
output regulator. The values of R1 and R2 set
the output voltage value as follows:
V
OUT =VREF
* [1 + (R1/R2)].
For best results, the total series resistance
should be small enough to pass a minimum
regulator load current of 5 mA. A minimum
value of 10kohms is recommended for R2
with a range between 10kohms and 47 kohms.
