The TK11900 is a low dropout voltage regulator with external
voltage adjustment. The output can be set between 1.5 V
and 15 V by an external pair of resistors in a divider
configuration. The device has a bypass pin for an external
capacitor to reduce output noise to a typical 50 µV(rms). In
addition, a control pin is provided that is active low (a low
level turns on the output). In the “off” mode (control pin high)
the device draws only 65 µA of quiescent current.

DEFINITION AND EXPLANATION OF TECHNICAL TERMS
QUIESCENT CURRENT (IQ)
The quiescent current is the current which flows through the
ground terminal under no load (I

OUT
Ground current is the current which flows through the current
pin(s). It is defined as I

Line Regulation (Line Reg)
Line regulation is the relationship between change in output
voltage due to a change in input voltage.
Load Regulation (Load Reg)
Load regulation is the relationship between change in output
voltage due to a change in load current.
DROP OUT VOLTAGE (V
DROP
)
This is a measure of how well the regulator performs as the
input voltage decreases. The smaller the number, the
further the input voltage can decrease before regulation
problems occur. Nominal output voltage is first measured
when VIN = V
OUT(TYP)
+ 1 at a chosen load current. When the
output voltage has dropped 100 mV from the nominal, V
- V
is the dropout voltage. This voltage is affected by
OUT
load current and junction temperature.
OUTPUT NOISE VOLTAGE
PACKAGE POWER DISSIPATION (PD)
This is the power dissipation level at which the thermal
sensor is activated. The IC contains an internal thermal
sensor which monitors the junction temperature. When the
junction temperature exceeds the monitor threshold of
150 °C, the IC is shut down. The junction temperature rises
as the difference between the input power (VIN x IIN) and the
output power (V
OUT
x I
) increases. The rate of tempera-
OUT
ture rise is greatly affected by the mounting pad configuration on the PCB, the board material, and the ambient
temperature. When the IC mounting has good thermal
conductivity, the junction temperature will be low even if the
power dissipation is great. When mounted on the recommended mounting pad, the power dissipation of the SOT23L is increased to 400 mW. For operation at ambient
temperatures over 25 °C, the power dissipation of the SOT23L device should be derated at 3.2 mW/°C. To determine
the power dissipation for shutdown when mounted, attach
the device on the actual PCB and deliberately increase the
output current (or raise the input voltage) until the thermal
protection circuit is activated. Calculate the power dissipation of the device by subtracting the output power from the
input power. These measurements should allow for the
ambient temperature of the PCB. The value obtained from
P
/(150 °C - TA) is the derating factor. The PCB mounting
D
pad should provide maximum thermal conductivity in order
to maintain low device temperatures. As a general rule, the
IN
lower the temperature, the better the reliability of the device.
The thermal resistance when mounted is expressed as
follows:
This is the effective AC voltage that occurs on the output
Tj = 0jA x PD + T
A
voltage under the condition where the input noise is low and
with a given load, filter capacitor, and frequency range.
THERMAL PROTECTION
This is an internal feature which turns the regulator off when
the junction temperature rises above 150 °C. After the
regulator turns off, the temperature drops and the regulator
For Toko ICs, the internal limit for junction temperature is
150 °C. If the ambient temperature (TA) is 25 °C, then:
150 °C = 0jA x PD + 25 °C
0jA = 125 °C / P
D
output turns back on. Under certain conditions, the output
waveform may appear to be an oscillation as the output
turns off and on and back again in succession.
PD is the value when the thermal sensor is activated. A
simple way to determine PD is to calculate VIN x IIN when the
output side is shorted. Input current gradually falls as
temperature rises. You should use the value when thermal
equilibrium is reached.

Copper pattern should be as large as possible. Power
dissipation is 400 mW for the SOT-23L package. A low
Equivalent Series Resistance (ESR) capacitor is recommended. For low temperature operation, select a capacitor
with a low ESR at the lowest operating temperature to
prevent oscillation, degradation of ripple rejection and increase in noise. The minimum recommended capacitance

to consider the characteristics of the capacitor over temperature when selecting decoupling capacitors.
The ESR is another important parameter. The ESR will
increase with temperature but low ESR capacitors are often
larger and more costly. In general, tantalum capacitors offer
lower ESR than aluminum electrolytic, but new low ESR
aluminum electrolytic capacitors are now available from
several manufacturers. Usually a bench test is sufficient to
determine the minimum capacitance required for a particular application. After taking thermal characteristics and
tolerance into account, the minimum capacitance value
should capacitor or 3.3 µF for an aluminum electrolytic.
Please note that linear regulators with a low dropout voltage
have high internal loop gains which require care in guarding
against oscillation caused by insufficient decoupling capacitance. The use of high quality decoupling capacitors
suited for your application will guarantee proper operation of
the circuit.
NOISE BYPASS CAPACITOR SECTION
The noise bypass capacitor (C
) should be connected as
N
close as possible to pin 1 and ground. The recommended
value for CN is 0.01 mF. The noise bypass terminal has a
high impedance and care should be taken if the noise
bypass capacitor is not used. This terminal is susceptible
to external noise, and oscillation can occur when CN is not
used and the solder pad for this pin is too large.
