LM109/LM309
5-Volt Regulator
General Description
The LM109 series are complete 5V regulators fabricated on
a single silicon chip. They are designed for local regulation
on digital logic cards, eliminating the distribution problems
association with single-point regulation. The devices are
available in two standard transistor packages. In the
solid-kovar TO-5 header, it can deliver outputcurrents in excess of 200 mA, if adequate heat sinking is provided. With
the TO-3 power package, the available output current is
greater than 1A.
The regulators are essentially blowout proof. Current limiting
is included to limit the peak output current to a safe value. In
addition, thermal shutdown is provided to keep the IC from
overheating. If internal dissipation becomes too great, the
regulator will shut down to prevent excessive heating.
Considerable effort was expended to make these devices
easy to use and to minimize the number of external components. It is not necessary to bypass the output, although this
does improve transient response somewhat. Input bypassing is needed, however, if the regulator is located very far
from the filter capacitor of the power supply. Stability is also
achieved by methods that provide very good rejection of load
or line transients as are usually seen with TTL logic.
Although designed primarily as a fixed-voltage regulator, the
output of the LM109 series can be set to voltages above 5V,
as shown. It is also possible to use the circuits as the control
element in precision regulators, taking advantage of the
good current-handling capability and the thermal overload
protection.

Application Hints
1. Bypass the input of the LM109 to ground with ≥ 0.2 µF
ceramic or solid tantalum capacitor if main filter capacitor is more than 4 inches away.
2. Avoid insertion of regulator into “live” socket if input
voltage is greater than 10V.The output will rise to within
2V of the unregulated input if the ground pin does not
make contact, possibly damaging the load. The LM109
may also be damaged if a large output capacitor is
charged up, then discharged through the internal clamp
zener when the ground pin makes contact.
3. The output clamp zener is designed to absorb transients only. It will not clamp the output effectively if a failure occurs in the internal power transistor structure. Zener dynamic impedance is ≈ 4Ω. Continuous RMS
current into the zener should not exceed 0.5A.
4. Paralleling of LM109s for higher output current is not
recommended. Current sharing will be almost nonexistent, leading to a current limit mode operation for devices
with the highest initial output voltage. The current limit
devices may also heat up to the thermal shutdown point
(≈ 175˚C). Long term reliability cannot be guaranteed
under these conditions.
5. Preventing latchoff for loads connected to negative
voltage:
If the output of the LM109 is pulled negative by a high current supply so that the output pin is more than 0.5V negative
with respect to the ground pin, the LM109 can latch off. This
can be prevented by clamping the ground pin to the output
pin with a germanium or Schottky diode as shown. A silicon
diode (1N4001) at the output is also needed to keep the
positive output from being pulled too far negative. The 10Ω
resistor will raise +V
OUT
by ≈ 0.05V.
