GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The TCL1117 is a low-dropout positive voltage regulator (LDO) with 800mA output current capability. It is available
in fixed and adjustable output voltage versions, 2.85V (active SCSI terminators), 3.30V and 5.00V. Output/reference
voltage accuracy is guaranteed to ±1.0%. Over-current
protection is integrated onto the chip. Dropout is specified
at 1.2V maximum at full rated output current and less than
1.0V at low loads (<100mA). The SOT-223 package makes
the TCL1117 especially attractive for tight physical layouts.
For stability, a 10µF output capacitor is required. The
TCL1117 is an NPN-based design which has significantly
lower unused quiescent current than similar PNP-based
regulators.

APPLICATIONS
Overload Protection
The TCL1117 is protected against current (short-circuit)
and thermal overload conditions. Thermal protection is
triggered by a chip temperature exceeding 165°C. Current
overload is triggered at approximately 950mA.
Stability and Load Regulation
The TCL1117 requires a capacitor from V
provide compensation feedback to the internal gain stage.
This is to ensure stability at the output terminal. Typically, a
10µF tantalum or 50µF aluminum electrolytic is sufficient.
NOTE: It is important that the ESR for this capacitor does not
exceed 0.5Ω.
The output capacitor does not have a theoretical upper
limit and increasing its value will increase stability.
C
= 100µF or more is typical for high current regulator
OUT
designs. NOTE: See Protection Diodes for limitations. Another benefit of larger output capacitance is improved transient load response (large di/dt in the load).
to GND to
OUT
Protection Diodes
Typically no protection diodes are necessary for the
TCL1117. Unlike older regulators, the ADJ pin is protected
internally from excessive currents. The ADJ pin can be
driven with voltage transients as high as ±25V with respect
to the output without damage to the device.
Likewise, a diode between the input and output is not
typically required. If the input voltage collapses the internal
circuitry can absorb ~20A transient currents (<10µsec)
without damage. This reverse current is much larger than
most power supply designs can generate. However, if the
output capacitor is VERY large (>1000µF), instantaneous
currents can be high enough to damage the chip. In this
case, a high-current, fast-response diode is recommended.
(See Figure 1).
Output Voltage Adjust
Like most LDOs, the TCL1117 regulates the output by
comparing the output voltage, or a multiple thereof, to an
internally generated reference voltage. On the adjustable
version, the V
between V
OUT
is available externally as 1.25V (±1%)
REF
and ADJ (See Figure 2). The voltage divider
formed by R1 and R2 should be set to conduct 10mA
(minimum output load). The output voltage is given by the
following equation:
V
OUT
= V
REF
R1
1+ R2)+ I
(
ADJ
R2
On fixed voltage versions of the TCL1117, the voltage
divider is provided internally.
Load Regulation
The TCL1117 load regulation is limited by the resistance
of the wire connecting it to the load (Rp, Figure 3). For the
adjustable version, the best load regulation is accomplished
when the top of the resistor divider (R1) is connected directly
to the output pin of the TCL1117, NOT to the high side of the
load (Figure 3). When so connected, Rp is not multiplied by
the divider ratio. For the fixed output versions, the top of R1
is internally connected to the output and the ground pin can
be connected to the low side of the load as a negative side
sense if, so desired.
