BA3924
The BA3924 is a system reference power supply for use in CD radio cassette players. Outputs dedicated to a microprocessor (5.0V), CD player (7.5V), audio system (7.5V), and motor drive (9V) are built in. Also built in is a V

FOperation notes
(1) Operating power supply voltage
When operating within the proper ranges of power supply
voltage and ambient temperature, most circuit functions
are guaranteed. Although the rated values of electrical
characteristics cannot be absolutely guaranteed, characteristic values do not change drastically within the
proper ranges.
When the supply voltage becomes less than the sum of
the minimum I / O voltage differential and each output
voltage, the reference power supply will not function any
more. However, there will be no sudden drop in voltage
or output current.
(2) Power dissipation (Pd)
Refer to the power dissipation characteristics (Fig. 7) and
the rough estimation of IC power dissipation given on a
separate page. Make sure to consider the power dissipation of the external PNP transistors, through which power
is supplied to the AUCIO, CD, and COMMON circuits.
Leave a sufficient margin in your application.
S Power dissipation
Except under transitional conditions, the power dissipation of this IC is 3W per unit at 25_C. Use the following
equations and Fig. 1 to roughly calculate the allowable
power dissipation and decide if a heat sink is needed or
what kind of a heat sink is needed.

(3) Preventing oscillation at each output
T o stop output oscillation, make sure to connect a capacitor between GND and each of the MOTOR (pin 3), AUDIO (pin 5), COMMON (pin 6), and CD (pin 8) output
pins. Use capacitors whose valve are not below the values denoted in the application circuit (Fig. 4) and not susceptible to temperature.
(4) Ground pins
Pre GND (pin 10) and Pow GND (pin 12) are the ground
pins of the IC. Pin 10 is the reference ground pin for power supplies, including the built-in reference power supply,
and the comparators. Voltage and threshold values may
shift if the potential of pin 10 is unstable. Take sufficient
care when designing the conductor pattern near this pin.
The source current from this pin is in the level of a few milliamperes. Pin 12, which is connected to the ground
traces other than those connected to pin 10, is connected
with the IC substrate and the back metal.
(5) External PNP transistors
ROHM’s 2SB1370 (E- or F-rank) is recommended. This
is a TO-220FP type transistor.
(6) Overvoltage protection circuit
Although the absolute maximum voltage is 22V, a peak
voltage of 30V for 200ms is assured only during the
standby state (pin 1 1 is LOW). The overvoltage circuit is
activated when the V
circuit is activated, a standby circuit current (IST) of a few
milliamperes flows in the IC.
The overvoltage protection circuit is also activated if a
voltage exceeding the absolute maximum rating is applied while the ST ANDBY pin is HIGH. As a result all the
output voltage is turned off.
CC voltage exceeds 23V. When the
(7) Overcurrent protection circuit
If the output current of any of the MOTOR (pin 3), AUDIO
(pin 5), COMMON (pin 6), and CD (pin 8) exceeds the
current capacity, the built-in current limit circuit limits the
current to a set level. If the potential of each pin is about
the same as that of Pow GND (pin 12), the output current
is reduced to the level of the ground short-circuit current
given in the “Electrical Characteristics.”
(8) Thermal protection
The circuit current, the limit current of each power supply
output, and the ground short-circuit current decrease
gradually with increasing temperature. For further
protection, the thermal shutdown circuit turns off all outputs when the IC is overheated, and brings back to normal operation when the temperature is decreased to a
certain level.
