function is set by the feedback resistor ratio, error amp gain,
and external compensation network.
To achieve a -20dB/decade slope, the error amplifier zero,
located at f
pole (f

cellation of the output filter zero is recommended if larger
value, non-ceramic output capacitors are used.
Compensation of the LM20136 is achieved by adding an RC
network as shown in Figure 6 below.

SUB-REGULATOR BYPASS CAPACITOR (C
The capacitor at the VCC pin provides noise filtering and sta-
bility for the internal sub-regulator. The recommended value
of C
10 µF. The capacitor should be a good quality ceramic X5R
or X7R capacitor. In general, a 1 µF ceramic capacitor is rec-
ommended for most applications.
SETTING THE START UP TIME (C
The addition of a capacitor connected from the SS pin to
ground sets the time at which the output voltage will reach the
final regulated value. Larger values for C
start up times. Table 3, shown below provides a list of soft
start capacitors and the corresponding typical start up times.
If different start up times are needed the equation shown be-
low can be used to calculate the start up time.
As shown above, the start up time is influenced by the value
of the Soft-Start capacitor C
current I
istics table.
While the Soft-Start capacitor can be sized to meet many start
up requirements, there are limitations to its size. The Soft-
Start time can never be faster than 1ms due to the internal
default 1ms start up time. When the device is enabled there
is an approximate time interval of 50 µs when the Soft-Start
capacitor will be discharged just prior to the Soft-Start ramp.
If the enable pin is rapidly pulsed or the Soft-Start capacitor
is large there may not be enough time for C
discharge resulting in start up times less than predicted. To
aid in discharging the Soft-Start capacitor during long disable
periods an external 1 MΩ resistor from SS/TRK to ground can
be used without greatly affecting the start-up time.
USING PRECISION ENABLE AND POWER GOOD
The precision enable(EN) and power good(PGOOD) pins of
the LM20136 can be used to address many sequencing re-
quirements. The turn-on of the LM20136 can be controlled
with the precision enable pin by using two external resistors
as shown in Figure 7
