linear regulators in Microsemi’s S-PAK power package which offer
maximum power dissipation in a low profile surface mount
technology. The family includes combination fixed and adjustable
versions. Each channel can supply up to 2.5A independently with a
regulator design optimized for system efficiency by consuming
minimal ground current and directing quiescent current to the load.
INPUT CAPACITOR
bypass capacitor is of at least 10µF is required. Generally we
recommend a 10µF ceramic or tantalum or 22µF electrolytic
capacitor.
OUTPUT CAPACITOR
output (V1, V2) to GND to stabilize the internal control loop. Many
types of capacitors are available, with different capacitance values
tolerances, temperature coefficients and equivalent series resistance.
We recommend a minimum of 10µF. To ensure good transient
response from the power supply system under rapidly changing
current load conditions, designers generally use additional output
capacitors connected in parallel. Such an arrangement serves to
minimize the effects of the parasitic resistance (ESR) and
inductance (ESL) that are present in all capacitors. The regulator
has been tested stable with capacitor ESR’s in the range of 0.05 to 2
ohms. We have found it best to use the same type of capacitor for
both input and output bypass.
ADJUSTABLE OUTPUT VOLTAGE
adjust terminal and GND (See Figure 2). By placing a resistor, R2,
between these two terminals, a constant current is caused to flow
through R1 and down through R2 to set the overall output voltage.
Because I

output and 1ma for the adjustable output regulators.

TEMPERATURE PROTECTION

Thermal Considerations below.
CURRENT LIMIT PROTECTION
load current exceeds typically 3A the circuit forces the regulator
decrease in output.
THERMAL CONSIDERATIONS
overload caused from a rise in junction temperature during power
dissipation. This means of protection is intended for fault protection
only and not as a means of current or power limiting during normal
application usage. Proper thermal evaluation should be done to
ensure that the junction temperature dose not exceed it’s maximum
rating.

protection may be activated at power levels slightly above or below
the rated dissipation. Also peak output power should be considered
for each individual output.
