LP2950-N/LP2951-N Series of Adjustable Micropower Voltage Regulators
Check for Samples: LP2950-N,LP2951-N
1FEATURES DESCRIPTION
The LP2950-N and LP2951-N are micropower
2 5V, 3V, and 3.3V Versions Available voltage regulators with very low quiescent current (75
High Accuracy Output Voltage μA typ.) and very low dropout voltage (typ. 40 mV at
Ensured 100 mA Output Current light loads and 380 mV at 100 mA). They are ideally
suited for use in battery-powered systems.
Extremely Low Quiescent Current Furthermore, the quiescent current of the LP2950-
Low Dropout Voltage N/LP2951-N increases only slightly in dropout,
Extremely Tight Load and Line Regulation prolonging battery life.
Very Low Temperature Coefficient The LP2950-N-5.0 is available in the surface-mount
Use as Regulator or Reference PFM package, and in the popular 3-pin TO-92
package for pin-compatibility with older 5V regulators.
Needs Minimum Capacitance for Stability The 8-lead LP2951-N is available in plastic, ceramic
Current and Thermal Limiting dual-in-line, WSON, or metal can packages and
Stable With Low-ESR Output Capacitors (10 offers additional system functions.
mto 6)One such feature is an error flag output which warns
of a low output voltage, often due to falling batteries
LP2951-N VERSIONS ONLY on the input. It may be used for a power-on reset. A
Error Flag Warns of Output Dropout second feature is the logic-compatible shutdown input
which enables the regulator to be switched on and
Logic-Controlled Electronic Shutdown off. Also, the part may be pin-strapped for a 5V, 3V,
Output Programmable From 1.24 to 29V or 3.3V output (depending on the version), or
programmed from 1.24V to 29V with an external pair
of resistors.
Careful design of the LP2950-N/LP2951-N has
minimized all contributions to the error budget. This
includes a tight initial tolerance (.5% typ.), extremely
good load and line regulation (.05% typ.) and a very
low output voltage temperature coefficient, making
the part useful as a low-power voltage reference.

(13) Comparator thresholds are expressed in terms of a voltage differential at the Feedback terminal below the nominal reference voltage
measured at Vin = (VONOM + 1)V. To express these thresholds in terms of output voltage change, multiply by the error amplifier gain =
VOUT/VREF = (R1 + R2)/R2.For example, at a programmed output voltage of 5V, the Error output is specified to go low when the output
drops by 95 mV × 5V/1.235V = 384 mV. Thresholds remain constant as a percent of Vout as Vout is varied, with the dropout warning
occurring at typically 5% below nominal, 7.5% ensured.

APPLICATION HINTS
Output Capacitor Requirements
A 1.0 μF (or greater) capacitor is required between the output and ground for stability at output voltages of 5V or
higher. At lower output voltages, more capacitance is required (2.2 μF or more is recommended for 3.0V and
3.3V versions). Without this capacitor the part will oscillate. Most types of tantalum or aluminum electrolytic work
fine here; even film types work but are not recommended for reasons of cost. Many aluminum electrolytics have
electrolytes that freeze at about 30°C, so solid tantalums are recommended for operation below 25°C. The
important parameters of the capacitor are an ESR of about 5Ωor less and a resonant frequency above 500 kHz.
The value of this capacitor may be increased without limit.
Figure 44. Output Capacitor ESR Range
The reason for the lower ESR limit is that the loop compensation of the feedback loop relies on the capacitance
value and the ESR value of the output capacitor to provide the zero that gives added phase lead (See
Figure 44).
fZ= (1 / (2 x πx COUT x ESR) ) (1)
Using the 2.2 µF value from the Output Capacitor ESR Range curve (Figure 44), a useful range for fZcan be
estimated:
fZ(MIN)= (1 / (2 x πx 2.2 µF x 5) ) = 14.5 kHz (2)
fZ(MAX)= (1 / (2 x πx 2.2 µF x 0.05) ) = 318 kHz (3)
For ceramic capacitors, the low ESR produces a zero at a frequency that is too high to be useful, so meaningful
phase lead does not occur. A ceramic output capacitor can be used if a series resistance is added
(recommended value of resistance about 0.1to 2) to simulate the needed ESR. Only X5R, X7R, or better,
MLCC types should be used, and should have a DC voltage rating at least twice the VOUT(NOM) value.
At lower values of output current, less output capacitance is required for stability. The capacitor can be reduced
to 0.33 μF for currents below 10 mA or 0.1 μF for currents below 1 mA. Using the adjustable versions at voltages
below 5V runs the error amplifier at lower gains so that more output capacitance is needed. For the worst-case
situation of a 100 mA load at 1.23V output (Output shorted to Feedback) a 3.3 μF (or greater) capacitor should
be used.
Unlike many other regulators, the LP2950-N will remain stable and in regulation with no load in addition to the
internal voltage divider. This is especially important in CMOS RAM keep-alive applications. When setting the
output voltage of the LP2951-N versions with external resistors, a minimum load of 1 μA is recommended.
Applications having conditions that may drive the LP2950-N/51 into nonlinear operation require special
consideration. Nonlinear operation will occur when the output voltage is held low enough to force the output
stage into output current limiting while trying to pull the output voltage up to the regulated value. The internal loop
response time will control how long it takes for the device to regain linear operation when the output has returned
to the normal operating range. There are three significant nonlinear conditions that need to be considered, all can
force the output stage into output current limiting mode, all can cause the output voltage to over-shoot with low

value output capacitors when the condition is removed, and the recommended generic solution is to set the
output capacitor to a value not less than 10 μF. Although the 10 μF value for COUT may not eliminate the output
voltage over-shoot in all cases, it should lower it to acceptable levels (<10% of VOUT(NOM)) in the majority of
cases. In all three of these conditions, applications with lighter load currents are more susceptible to output
voltage over-shoot than applications with higher load currents.

Input Capacitor Requirements
A minimum 1 μF tantalum, ceramic or aluminum electrolytic capacitor should be placed from the LP2950-
N/LP2951-N input pin to ground if there is more than 10 inches of wire between the input and the AC filter
capacitor or if a battery is used as the input.
Error Detection Comparator Output
The comparator produces a logic low output whenever the LP2951-N output falls out of regulation by more than
approximately 5%. This figure is the comparator's built-in offset of about 60mV divided by the 1.235 reference
voltage. (Refer to the block diagram in the front of the datasheet.) This trip level remains “5% below normal”
regardless of the programmed output voltage of the 2951. For example, the error flag trip level is typically 4.75V
for a 5V output or 11.4V for a 12V output. The out of regulation condition may be due either to low input voltage,
current limiting, or thermal limiting.
Figure 46 below gives a timing diagram depicting the ERROR signal and the regulated output voltage as the
LP2951-N input is ramped up and down. For 5V versions, the ERROR signal becomes valid (low) at about 1.3V
input. It goes high at about 5V input (the input voltage at which VOUT = 4.75V). Since the LP2951-N's dropout
voltage is load-dependent (see curve in typical performance characteristics), the input voltage trip point (about
5V) will vary with the load current. The output voltage trip point (approx. 4.75V) does not vary with load.
The error comparator has an open-collector output which requires an external pull up resistor. This resistor may
be returned to the output or some other supply voltage depending on system requirements. In determining a
value for this resistor, note that while the output is rated to sink 400 μA, this sink current adds to battery drain in
a low battery condition. Suggested values range from 100k to 1 MΩ. The resistor is not required if this output is
unused.

*When VIN 1.3V, the error flag pin becomes a high impedance, and the error flag voltage rises to its pull-up voltage.
Using VOUT as the pull-up voltage (see Figure 47), rather than an external 5V source, will keep the error flag voltage
under 1.2V (typ.) in this condition. The user may wish to divide down the error flag voltage using equal-value resistors
(10 ksuggested), to ensure a low-level logic signal during any fault condition, while still allowing a valid high logic
level during normal operation.
Figure 46. ERROR Output Timing
Programming the Output Voltage (LP2951-N)
The LP2951-N may be pin-strapped for the nominal fixed output voltage using its internal voltage divider by tying
the output and sense pins together, and also tying the feedback and VTAP pins together. Alternatively, it may be
programmed for any output voltage between its 1.235V reference and its 30V maximum rating. As seen in
Figure 47, an external pair of resistors is required.
The complete equation for the output voltage is
where
VREF is the nominal 1.235V reference voltage and IFB is the feedback pin bias current, nominally -20nA (7)
The minimum recommended load current of 1 μA forces an upper limit of 1.2 MΩon the value of R2, if the
regulator must work with no load (a condition often found in CMOS in standby). IFB will produce a 2% typical
error in VOUT which may be eliminated at room temperature by trimming R1. For better accuracy, choosing R2 =
100 kreduces this error to 0.17% while increasing the resistor program current to 12 μA. Since the LP2951-N
typically draws 60 μA at no load with Pin 2 open-circuited, this is a small price to pay.

Stray capacitance to the LP2951-N Feedback terminal can cause instability. This may especially be a problem
when using high value external resistors to set the output voltage. Adding a 100 pF capacitor between the Output
pin and the Feedback pin,and increasing the output capacitor to at least 3.3 μF, will fix this problem.
Reducing Output Noise
In reference applications it may be advantageous to reduce the AC noise present at the output. One method is to
reduce the regulator bandwidth by increasing the size of the output capacitor. This is the only way noise can be
reduced on the 3 lead LP2950-N but is relatively inefficient, as increasing the capacitor from 1 μF to 220 μF only
decreases the noise from 430 μV(RMS) to 160 μV(RMS) for a 100 kHz bandwidth at 5V output.
Noise can be reduced fourfold by a bypass capacitor across R1, since it reduces the high frequency gain from 4
to unity. Pick
(8)
or about 0.01 μF. When doing this, the output capacitor must be increased to 3.3 μF to maintain stability. These
changes reduce the output noise from 430 μV to 100 μV rms for a 100 kHz bandwidth at 5V output. With the
bypass capacitor added, noise no longer scales with output voltage so that improvements are more dramatic at
higher output voltages.
WSON Mounting
The NGT (No Pullback) 8-Lead WSON package requires specific mounting techniques which are detailed in
Application Note 1187 (literature number SNOA401). Referring to the PCB Design Recommendations section
(literature number SNOA401), it should be noted that the pad style which should be used with the WSON
package is the NSMD (non-solder mask defined) type. Additionally, it is recommended the PCB terminal pads to
be 0.2 mm longer than the package pads to create a solder fillet to improve reliability and inspection.
The thermal dissipation of the WSON package is directly related to the printed circuit board construction and the
amount of additional copper area connected to the DAP.
The DAP (exposed pad) on the bottom of the WSON package is connected to the die substrate with a conductive
die attach adhesive. The DAP has no direct electrical (wire) connection to any of the eight pins. There is a
parasitic PN junction between the die substrate and the device ground. As such, it is strongly recommend that
the DAP be connected directly to the ground at device lead 4 (i.e. GND). Alternately, but not recommended, the
DAP may be left floating (i.e. no electrical connection). The DAP must not be connected to any potential other
than ground.
For the LP2951-N in the NGT 8-Lead WSON package, the junction-to-case thermal rating, θJC, is 14.2°C/W,
where the case is the bottom of the package at the center of the DAP. The junction-to-ambient thermal
performance for the LP2951-N in the NGT 8-Lead WSON package, using the JEDEC JESD51 standards is
summarized in the following table:
Board Type Thermal Vias θJC θJA

Operation: Reg. #1's VOUT is programmed one diode drop above 5V. Its error flag becomes active when VIN
5.7V. When VIN drops below 5.3V, the error flag of Reg. #2 becomes active and via Q1 latches the main output
off. When VIN again exceeds 5.7V Reg. #1 is back in regulation and the early warning signal rises, unlatching
Reg. #2 via D3.

(1) The marketing status values are defined as follows:
ACTIVE: Product device recommended for new designs.
LIFEBUY: TI has announced that the device will be discontinued, and a lifetime-buy period is in effect.
NRND: Not recommended for new designs. Device is in production to support existing customers, but TI does not recommend using this part in a new design.
PREVIEW: Device has been announced but is not in production. Samples may or may not be available.
OBSOLETE: TI has discontinued the production of the device.
(2) Eco Plan - The planned eco-friendly classification: Pb-Free (RoHS), Pb-Free (RoHS Exempt), or Green (RoHS & no Sb/Br) - please check http://www.ti.com/productcontent for the latest availability
information and additional product content details.
TBD: The Pb-Free/Green conversion plan has not been defined.
Pb-Free (RoHS): TI's terms "Lead-Free" or "Pb-Free" mean semiconductor products that are compatible with the current RoHS requirements for all 6 substances, including the requirement that
lead not exceed 0.1% by weight in homogeneous materials. Where designed to be soldered at high temperatures, TI Pb-Free products are suitable for use in specified lead-free processes.
Pb-Free (RoHS Exempt): This component has a RoHS exemption for either 1) lead-based flip-chip solder bumps used between the die and package, or 2) lead-based die adhesive used between
the die and leadframe. The component is otherwise considered Pb-Free (RoHS compatible) as defined above.
Green (RoHS & no Sb/Br): TI defines "Green" to mean Pb-Free (RoHS compatible), and free of Bromine (Br) and Antimony (Sb) based flame retardants (Br or Sb do not exceed 0.1% by weight
in homogeneous material)
(3) MSL, Peak Temp. - The Moisture Sensitivity Level rating according to the JEDEC industry standard classifications, and peak solder temperature.
(4) There may be additional marking, which relates to the logo, the lot trace code information, or the environmental category on the device.
(5) Multiple Device Markings will be inside parentheses. Only one Device Marking contained in parentheses and separated by a "~" will appear on a device. If a line is indented then it is a continuation
of the previous line and the two combined represent the entire Device Marking for that device.
(6) Lead/Ball Finish - Orderable Devices may have multiple material finish options. Finish options are separated by a vertical ruled line. Lead/Ball Finish values may wrap to two lines if the finish
value exceeds the maximum column width.

IMPORTANT NOTICE
Texas Instruments Incorporated and its subsidiaries (TI) reserve the right to make corrections, enhancements, improvements and other
changes to its semiconductor products and services per JESD46, latest issue, and to discontinue any product or service per JESD48, latest
issue. Buyers should obtain the latest relevant information before placing orders and should verify that such information is current and
complete. All semiconductor products (also referred to herein as “components”) are sold subject to TI’s terms and conditions of sale
supplied at the time of order acknowledgment.
TI warrants performance of its components to the specifications applicable at the time of sale, in accordance with the warranty in TI’s terms
and conditions of sale of semiconductor products. Testing and other quality control techniques are used to the extent TI deems necessary
to support this warranty. Except where mandated by applicable law, testing of all parameters of each component is not necessarily
performed.
TI assumes no liability for applications assistance or the design of Buyers’ products. Buyers are responsible for their products and
applications using TI components. To minimize the risks associated with Buyers’ products and applications, Buyers should provide
adequate design and operating safeguards.
TI does not warrant or represent that any license, either express or implied, is granted under any patent right, copyright, mask work right, or
other intellectual property right relating to any combination, machine, or process in which TI components or services are used. Information
published by TI regarding third-party products or services does not constitute a license to use such products or services or a warranty or
endorsement thereof. Use of such information may require a license from a third party under the patents or other intellectual property of the
third party, or a license from TI under the patents or other intellectual property of TI.
Reproduction of significant portions of TI information in TI data books or data sheets is permissible only if reproduction is without alteration
and is accompanied by all associated warranties, conditions, limitations, and notices. TI is not responsible or liable for such altered
documentation. Information of third parties may be subject to additional restrictions.
Resale of TI components or services with statements different from or beyond the parameters stated by TI for that component or service
voids all express and any implied warranties for the associated TI component or service and is an unfair and deceptive business practice.
TI is not responsible or liable for any such statements.
Buyer acknowledges and agrees that it is solely responsible for compliance with all legal, regulatory and safety-related requirements
concerning its products, and any use of TI components in its applications, notwithstanding any applications-related information or support
that may be provided by TI. Buyer represents and agrees that it has all the necessary expertise to create and implement safeguards which
anticipate dangerous consequences of failures, monitor failures and their consequences, lessen the likelihood of failures that might cause
harm and take appropriate remedial actions. Buyer will fully indemnify TI and its representatives against any damages arising out of the use
of any TI components in safety-critical applications.
In some cases, TI components may be promoted specifically to facilitate safety-related applications. With such components, TI’s goal is to
help enable customers to design and create their own end-product solutions that meet applicable functional safety standards and
requirements. Nonetheless, such components are subject to these terms.
No TI components are authorized for use in FDA Class III (or similar life-critical medical equipment) unless authorized officers of the parties
have executed a special agreement specifically governing such use.
Only those TI components which TI has specifically designated as military grade or “enhanced plastic” are designed and intended for use in
military/aerospace applications or environments. Buyer acknowledges and agrees that any military or aerospace use of TI components
which have not been so designated is solely at the Buyer's risk, and that Buyer is solely responsible for compliance with all legal and
regulatory requirements in connection with such use.
TI has specifically designated certain components as meeting ISO/TS16949 requirements, mainly for automotive use. In any case of use of
non-designated products, TI will not be responsible for any failure to meet ISO/TS16949.
