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.

a fixed output voltage in spite of supply and load
variations,theopen loopgain ofthe regulatormust
be veryhigh at lowfrequencies.Thismaycauseinstability as a result of the various poles presentin
the loop. To avoid this instability dominant pole
compensationis usedtoreducephaseshiftsdueto
other poles at the unity gain frequency.The lower
thefrequencyoftheseotherpoles,thegreatermust
be the capacitorused tocreate the dominantpole
for the same DC gain.
Where the output transistor is a lateral PNP type
thereis a polein the regulationloop at a frequency
toolow to be compensatedbya capacitorwichcan
be integrated.An external compensationis thereforenecessaryso a veryhigh valuecapacitormust
be connectedfrom theoutputto ground.

and theminimumcapacitorvalue is47µF.
