The L4949ED-E and L4949EP-E are monolithic
integrated 5V voltage regulators with a very low
dropout output and additional functions as poweron reset and input voltage sense. They are
designed for supplying the microcomputer

applications.

3.1 Supply voltage transient
High supply voltage transients can cause a reset output signal disturbance. For supply
voltages greater than 8V the circuit shows a high immunity of the reset output against supply
transients of more than 100V/µs. For supply voltages less than 8V supply transients of more
than 0.4V/µs can cause a reset signal disturbance.
To improve the transient behaviour for supply voltages less than 8V a capacitor at pin V
be used.
This capacitor (C3 ≤ 1 µF) reduces also the output noise.
3.2 Functional description
The L4949ED-E and L4949EP-E are monolithic integrated voltage regulator, based on the
STM modular voltage regulator approach. Several outstanding features and auxiliary
functions are implemented to meet the requirements of supplying microprocessor systems
in automotive applications. Nevertheless, it is suitable also in other applications where the
can

present functions are required. The modular approach of this device allows to get easily also
other features and functions when required.
3.3 Voltage regulator
The voltage regulator uses an Isolated Collector Vertical PNP transistor as a regulating
element.
Figure 4.Foldback characteristic of V
With this structure very low dropout voltage at currents up to 100mA is obtained. The
dropout operation of the standby regulator is maintained down to 3V input supply voltage.
The output voltage is regulated up to the transient input supply voltage of 40V. With this
feature no functional interruption due to overvoltage pulses is generated. The typical curve
showing the standby output voltage as a function of the input supply voltage is shown in
Figure 5. The current consumption of the device (quiescent current) is less than 300 µA.
O
To reduce the quiescent current peak in the undervoltage region and to improve the
transient response in this region, the dropout voltage is controlled, the quiescent current as
a function of the supply input voltage is shown in Figure 6.

3.4 Preregulator
To improve the transient immunity a preregulator stabilizes the internal supply voltage to 5 V.
This internal voltage is present at Pin 3 (V
because the output capability is very small (≤ 10 µA).
This output may be used as an option when a better transient behaviour for supply voltages
less than 8 V is required (see also application note).
In this case a capacitor (100 nF - 1 µF) must be connected between pin V

3.5 Reset circuit
The block circuit diagram of the reset circuit is shown in Figure 7. The reset circuit
supervises the output voltage.

The reaction time of the reset circuit originates from the discharge time limitation of the reset
capacitor CT and is proportional to the value of CT.
The reaction time of the reset circuit increases the noise immunity. Standby output voltage
drops below the reset threshold only a bit longer than the reaction time results in a shorter
reset delay time.
The nominal reset delay time is generated for standby output voltage drops longer than
approximately 50ms.
The typical reset output waveforms are shown in Figure 8.

3.6 Sense comparator
The sense comparator compares an input signal with an internal voltage reference of typical
1.23V. The use of an external voltage divider makes this comparator very flexible in the
application.
It can be used to supervise the input voltage either before or after the protection diode and
to give additional informations to the microprocessor like low voltage warnings.
