The TK711xx is a low dropout, linear regulator housed in
a standard TO-92 package, rated at 500 mW. An internal
PNP transistor is used to achieve a low dropout voltage of
100 mV (typ.) at 30 mA load current. The TK711xx has a
low quiescent current of 130 µA (typ.) at no load. The low
quiescent current and dropout voltage make this part ideal
for battery powered applications.

DEFINITION AND EXPLANATION OF TECHNICAL TERMS
LINE REGULATION (LINE REG)
Line regulation is the ability of the regulator to maintain a
constant output voltage as the input voltage changes.
LOAD REGULATION (LOAD REG)
Load regulation is the ability of the regulator to maintain a
constant output voltage as the load current changes. It is
a pulsed measurement to minimize temperature effects.
The load regulation is specified an output current step
condition of 1 mA to 60 mA.
QUIESCENT CURRENT (IQ)
The quiescent current is the current which flows through
the ground terminal under no load conditions (I
GROUND CURRENT (I
GND
)
= 0 mA).
OUT
Ground current is the current which flows through the
ground pin(s). It is defined as IIN - I
DROPOUT VOLTAGE (V
DROP
)
, excluding I
OUT
CONT
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
+ 1 at a chosen load current. When the
OUT
output voltage has dropped 100 mV from the nominal, V
- VO is the dropout voltage. This voltage is affected by 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
OUT
temperature 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 mounting pad, the power dissipation of the TO-92 is
increased to 500 mW. For operation at ambient
temperatures over 25 °C, the power dissipation of the TO92 device should be derated at 4.0 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:
IN
Tj = 0jA x PD + T
A
This is the effective AC voltage that occurs on the output
voltage under the condition where the input noise is low
For Toko ICs, the internal limit for junction temperature is
150 °C. If the ambient temperature (TA) is 25 °C, then:
and with a given load, filter capacitor, and frequency
range.
150 °C = 0jA x PD + 25 °C
THERMAL PROTECTION
0jA = 125 °C / P
D
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 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.

Procedure:
1) Find P
2) PD1 is taken to be PD x (~ 0.8 - 0.9)
3) Plot PD1 against 25 °C
4) Connect P

5) In design, take a vertical line from the maximum
operating temperature (e.g., 75 °C) to the derating
curve.
6) Read off the value of PD against the point at which the
vertical line intersects the derating curve. This is taken
as the maximum power dissipation, DPD.

APPLICATION INFORMA TION
INPUT/OUTPUT DECOUPLING CAPACITOR
CONSIDERATIONS
Voltage regulators require input and output decoupling
capacitors. The required value of these capacitors vary
with application. Capacitors made by different
manufacturers can have different characteristics,
particularly with regard to high frequencies and Equivalent
Series Resistance (ESR) over temperature. The type of
capacitor is also important. For example, a 4.7 µF aluminum
electrolytic may be required for a certain application. If a
tantalum capacitor is used, a lower value of 2.2 µF would
be adequate. It is important to consider the temperature
characteristics of the decoupling capacitors. While Toko
regulators are designed to operate as low as -40 °C, many
capacitors will not operate properly at this temperature.
The capacitance of aluminum electrolytic capacitors may
decrease to 0 at low temperatures. This may cause
oscillation on the output of the regulator since some
capacitance is required to guarantee stability. Thus, it is
important 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 be approximately two times this
value. The recommended minimum capacitance for the
TK711xxN is 2.1 µF for a tantalum 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. Pay attention
to temperature characteristics of the capacitor, especially
the increase of ESR and decrease of capacitance in low
temperatures. Oscillation, reduction of ripple rejection and
increased noise may occur in some cases if the proper
capacitor is not used. An output capacitor more than 1.0 µF
is required to maintain stability. The standard test condition
is 3.3 µF (TA = 25 °C).
