DESCRIPTION
TK70403 is a low dropout, linear regulator with a built-in
electronic switch. A pin for a bypass capacitor is provided,
which connects to the internal circuitry to lower the overall
output noise level.
An internal PNP pass-transistor is used in order to achieve
low dropout voltage (typically 30 mV at 2 mA load current).
This makes it possible to maintain a stable output voltage
as the battery voltage decreases, extending the useful
battery life.

+ 0.4
)
The dropout voltage is the difference between the input
voltage and the output voltage, at which point the regulator
starts to fall out of regulation. Below this value, the output
voltage will fall as the input value is reduced. It is dependent
upon the load current and the temperature.
OUTPUT CURRENT (I

)
The rated output current is specified under the condition
where the output voltage drops 0.4 V when the output
current is loaded. The input voltage is set to V
OUT
+ 0.4 V.
LINE REGULATION (Line Reg)
Line regulation is the ability of the regulator to maintain a
constant output voltage as the input voltage changes. The
voltage is pulsed to minimize temperature effects.
LOAD REGULATION (Load Reg)
ON/OFF CONTROL
High is “on” (referenced to ground). When the on/off
function is not used, connect the control terminal to VIN.
The control current can be reduced by inserting a series
resistor (R
) between the control terminal and VIN.

ON/OFF RESPONSE WITH CONTROL (SPEED)
Load regulation is the ability of the regulator to maintain a
constant output voltage as the load current changes. It is
pulsed to minimize temperature effects. The load regulation
is specified to 0.1 mA to 5.0 mA.
QUIESCENT CURRENT (IQ)
The quiescent current is the current which flows through
the ground terminal under no load conditions (I

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

RIPPLE REJECTION (RR)
Ripple rejection is the ability of the regulator to attenuate
the ripple content of the input voltage at the output. It is
specified with 50 mVp-p, 400 Hz, I

ripple rejection is the ratio of the output vs. input and is
expressed in dB.
The turn-on time depends upon the value of the output
capacitor and the noise bypass capacitor. The turn-on time
will decrease with smaller value of either capacitor. The
graph below shows the relationship between turn-on time
and load capacitance. However, when the capacitance is
small, load transient and line transient will worsen and the
noise will increase. CL = 0.68 µF, CN = 1000 pF will be the
best for fastest operation.

REDUCTION OF OUTPUT NOISE
Although the architecture of the Toko regulators is designed
to minimize semiconductor noise, further reduction can be
achieved by increasing the size of the output capacitor. A
more effective solution would be to add a capacitor to the
noise bypass terminal. The value of the capacitor should
be at least 0.1 µF or higher (higher values provide greater
noise reduction). Although stable operation is possible
without the noise bypass capacitor, this terminal has a high
impedance and care should be taken to avoid a large
circuit area on the printed circuit board when the capacitor
is not used. Please note that several parameters are
affected by the value of the capacitors and bench testing
is recommended when deviating from standard values.
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 SOT-26 is increased to 350 mW. For operation at
ambient temperatures over 25 °C, the power dissipation of
the SOT-26 device should be derated at 2.8 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 PD /(150 °C - TA) is the
derating factor. The PCB mounting pad should provide
maximum thermal conductivity in order to maintain low
device temperatures. As a general rule, the lower the
temperature, the better the reliability of the device. The
thermal resistance when mounted is expressed as follows:
Tj = 0jA x PD + T
A
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
INPUT AND OUTPUT CAPACITORS
PD is the value when the thermal sensor is activated. A
simple way to determine PD is to calculate VIN x IIN when
Toko regulators require an output capacitor in order to
maintain regulator loop stability. The capacitor value should
be at least 0.68 µF over actual ambient operating
the output side is shorted. Input current gradually falls as
temperature rises. You should use the value when thermal
equilibrium is reached.

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

) increases. The rate of
