2.0 mA. R1 and R2 should be the same type, e.g. metal film
for best tracking over temperature. While not required, a
bypass capacitor from the adjust pin to ground will improve
ripple rejection and transient response. A 0.1 mF tantalum
capacitor is recommended for “first cut” design. Type and
value may be varied to obtain optimum performance vs.

milliseconds, while the regulator responds in less than one
microsecond. In this case, the linear regulator begins
charging the load as soon as the V
large enough that the pass transistor conducts current. The
load at this point is essentially at ground, and the supply
voltage is on the order of several hundred millivolts, with the
result that the pass transistor is in dropout. As the supply to

which the IC is in regulation. Further increase in the supply
voltage brings the pass transistor out of dropout. The result
is that the output voltage follows the power supply ramp−up,
staying in dropout until the regulation point is reached. In
this manner, any output voltage may be regulated. There is
no theoretical limit to the regulated voltage as long as the
V
circuit condition is very real for this type of design. Short
circuit conditions will result in the immediate operation of
the pass transistor outside of its safe operating area.
Over−voltage stresses will then cause destruction of the pass

circuitry must be done on an application by application
basis. Care must be taken to ensure the clamp actually
protects the design. Components used in the clamp design

size and temperature constraints. A tantalum or aluminum
electrolytic capacitor is best, since a film or ceramic
capacitor with almost zero ESR can cause instability. The
aluminum electrolytic capacitor is the least expensive
solution. However, when the circuit operates at low
temperatures, both the value and ESR of the capacitor will
vary considerably. The capacitor manufacturer’s data sheet
provides this information.
applications, but with high current regulators such as the
CS52015−1 the transient response and stability improve
with higher values of capacitance. The majority of
applications for this regulator involve large changes in load
current so the output capacitor must supply the
instantaneous load current. The ESR of the output capacitor
causes an immediate drop in output voltage given by:
output capacitor network consisting of several tantalum and
ceramic capacitors in parallel. This reduces the overall ESR
and reduces the instantaneous output voltage drop under
transient load conditions. The output capacitor network
should be as close as possible to the load for the best results.
