APPLICATION NOTES
The advantages of using a low-dropout regulator such as the
SG29055/55A are the need for less “headroom” for full regula-
tion, and the inherent reverse polarity protection provided by the
PNP output device. A typical NPN regulator design requires an
input to output differential of approximately two volts minimum.
This is due to the 2Vbe + Vcesat of the NPN Darlington used in
the output, coupled with the voltage drop across the current limit
resistor. In contrast, the “PNP Regulator” uses a single series
pass transistor with its single Vcesat, thus the lower input to
output voltage differential or dropout voltage.
In addition to a low dropout voltage, an important advantage of
the SG29055/55A series is low quiescent current in the standby
mode. When the high current or primary regulator is shut off, the

regulator enters a micropower mode. Here all but the most
essential circuitry to power the standby output is deactivated.
This allows the lowest possible quiescent current (typical around
1.2mA), a vital factor when used in a battery powered system.
In some applications the regulator output voltage is used not only
as a power supply but also as a voltage reference for control
systems. In such cases not just the temperature stability of the
output is important but also the initial accuracy. The SG29055/
55A fills this need as the internal bandgap reference is trimmed
allowing a typical output voltage tolerance of ±1%.
