LP2952/LP2952A/LP2953/LP2953A
Adjustable Micropower Low-Dropout Voltage Regulators
General Description
The LP2952 and LP2953 are micropower voltage regulators with very low quiescent current (130 µA typical at 1 mA load) and very low dropout voltage (typ. 60 mV at light load and 470 mV at 250 mA load current). They are ideally suited for battery-powered systems. Furthermore, the quiescent current increases only slightly at dropout, which prolongs battery life.
The LP2952 and LP2953 retain all the desirable characteristics of the LP2951, but offer increased output current, additional features, and an improved shutdown function.
The internal crowbar pulls the output down quickly when the shutdown is activated.
The error flag goes low if the output voltage drops out of regulation.
Reverse battery protection is provided.
The internal voltage reference is made available for external use, providing a low-T.C. reference with very good line and load regulation.
The parts are available in DIP and surface mount packages.
Features
nOutput voltage adjusts from 1.23V to 29V
nGuaranteed 250 mA output current
nExtremely low quiescent current
nLow dropout voltage
nExtremely tight line and load regulation
nVery low temperature coefficient
nCurrent and thermal limiting
nReverse battery protection
n50 mA (typical) output pulldown crowbar
n5V and 3.3V versions available
LP2953 Versions Only
nAuxiliary comparator included with CMOS/TTL compatible output levels. Can be used for fault detection, low input line detection, etc.
Applications
nHigh-efficiency linear regulator
nRegulator with under-voltage shutdown
nLow dropout battery-powered regulator
nSnap-ON/Snap-OFF regulator

Note 1: Absolute maximum ratings indicate limits beyond which damage to the component may occur. Electrical specifications do not apply when operating the device outside of its rated operating conditions.
Note 2: The maximum allowable power dissipation is a function of the maximum junction temperature, TJ(MAX), the junction-to-ambient thermal resistance, θJ±A, and the ambient temperature, TA. The maximum allowable power dissipation at any ambient temperature is calculated using the equation for P(MAX),

Electrical Characteristics (Continued)
Exceeding the maximum allowable power dissipation will cause excessive die temperature, and the regulator will go into thermal shutdown. See APPLICATION HINTS for additional information on heatsinking and thermal resistance.
Note 3: When used in dual-supply systems where the regulator load is returned to a negative supply, the output voltage must be diode-clamped to ground.
Note 4: May exceed the input supply voltage.
Note 5: Output or reference voltage temperature coefficient is defined as the worst case voltage change divided by the total temperature range.
Note 6: Load regulation is measured at constant junction temperature using low duty cycle pulse testing. Two separate tests are performed, one for the range of 100 µA to 1 mA and one for the 1 mA to 250 mA range. Changes in output voltage due to heating effects are covered by the thermal regulation specification.
Note 7: Dropout voltage is defined as the input to output differential at which the output voltage drops 100 mV below the value measured with a 1V differential. At very low values of programmed output voltage, the input voltage minimum of 2V (2.3V over temperature) must be observed.
Note 8: Ground pin current is the regulator quiescent current. The total current drawn from the source is the sum of the ground pin current, output load current, and current through the external resistive divider (if used).
Note 9: VSHUTDOWN ≤ 1.1V, VOUT = VO(NOM).
Note 10: Thermal regulation is the change in output voltage at a time T after a change in power dissipation, excluding load or line regulation effects. Specifications are for a 200 mA load pulse at VIN = VO(NOM)+15V (3W pulse) for T = 10 ms.
Note 11: Connect a 0.1 µF capacitor from the output to the feedback pin. Note 12: VREF ≤ VOUT ≤ (VIN − 1V), 2.3V ≤ VIN ≤ 30V, 100 µA ≤ IL ≤ 250 mA.
Note 13: Two separate tests are performed, one covering 2.5V ≤ VIN ≤ VO(NOM)+1V and the other test for VO(NOM)+1V ≤ VIN ≤ 30V.
Note 14: Comparator thresholds are expressed in terms of a voltage differential at the Feedback terminal below the nominal reference voltage measured at VIN = VO(NOM) + 1V. To express these thresholds in terms of output voltage change, multiply by the Error amplifier gain, which is VOUT/VREF = (R1 + R2)/R2 (refer to Figure 4).
Note 15: Human body model, 200 pF discharged through 1.5 kΩ.
Note 16: Drive Shutdown pin with TTL or CMOS-low level to shut regulator OFF, high level to turn regulator ON.
Note 17: A military RETS specification is available upon request. For more information on military products, please refer to the Mil-Aero web page at http://www.national.com/appinfo/milaero/index.html.
Typical Performance Characteristics Unless otherwise specified: VIN = 6V, IL = 1 mA, CL = 2.2 µF, VSD = 3V, TA = 25ÊC, VOUT = 5V.
