FUNCTI O NAL DESCRI PTION
The operatingprinciple of the voltage regulator is
basedonthereference,theerroramplifier,thedriver
and the power PNP. This stage uses an Isolated
CollectorVerticalPNPtransistorwhich allowsto obtainvery low dropoutvoltage(typ. 450mV)and low
quiescentcurrent(I
= 20mA typicallyatIo= 1A).
Q
Thanks to these featuresthe device is particularly
suited when the power dissipation must be limited
as,for example,in automotiveor industrialapplicationssuppliedby battery.
The three gain stages (operational amplifier,
driverand powerPNP) requiretheexternalcapacitor (Co
=22µF) to guaranteethe global stability
min
of the system.
