(1) The condition VIN = VO(NOM) + 1V applies when Vout1 = Vout2. If Vout1 ≠Vout2, then this condition would apply to the output which is
greater in value. As an example, if Vout1 = 3.3V and Vout2 = 5V, then the condition VIN = VO(NOM)+ 1V would apply to Vout2 only.
(2) :Typical numbers are at 25°C and represent the most likely parametric norm.
(3) :Limits are 100% production tested at 25°C. Limits over the operating temperature range are ensured through correlation using
Statistical Quality Control (SQC) methods. The limits are used to calculate Averaging Outgoing Quality Level (AOQL).
(4) Output voltage tolerance specification also includes the line regulation and load regulation.
(5) Output voltage line regulation is defined as the change in output voltage from the nominal value due to change in input line voltage.
(6) Output voltage load regulation is defined as the change in output voltage from the nominal value when the load current changes from

(7) Output voltage cross regulation is defined as the percentage change in the output voltage from the nominal value at one output when
the load current changes from 1mA to full load in the other output. This is an important parameter in multiple output regulators. The
specification for ΔVO1/ΔIOUT2 is equal to the specification for ΔVO2/ΔIOUT1.

APPLICATIONS INFORMATION
Input Capacitor Selection
LP2966 requires a minimum input capacitance of 1µF between the input and ground pins to prevent any
impedance interactions with the supply. This capacitor should be located very close to the input pin. This
capacitor can be of any type such as ceramic, tantalum, or aluminium. Any good quality capacitor which has
good tolerance over temperature and frequency is recommended.
Output Capacitor Selection
The LP2966 requires a minimum of 1µF capacitance on each output for proper operation. To insure stability, this
capacitor should maintain its ESR (equivalent series resistance) in the stable region of the ESR curves
(Figure 30 and Figure 31) over the full operating temperature range of the application. The output capacitor
should have a good tolerance over temperature, voltage, and frequency. The output capacitor can be increased
without limit. Larger capacitance provides better stability and noise performance. The output capacitor should be
connected very close to the Vout pin of the IC.
Figure 30. ESR Curve for VOUT = 5V and COUT = Figure 31. ESR Curve for VOUT = 3.3V and COUT =
2.2µF 2.2µF
LP2966 works best with Tantalum capacitors. However, the ESR and the capacitance value of these capacitors
vary a lot with temperature, voltage, and frequency. So while using Tantalum capacitors, it should be ensured
that the ESR is within the limits for stability over the full operating temperature range.
For output voltages greater than 2.5V, good quality ceramic capacitors (such as the X7R series from
Taiyoyuden) can also be used with LP2966 in applications not requiring light load operation (< 5mA for the 5V
output option). Once again, it should be ensured that the capacitance value and the ESR are within the limits for
stability over the full operating temperature range.
The ESRD Series Polymer Aluminium Electrolytic capacitors from Cornell Dubilier are very stable over
temperature and frequency. The excellent capacitance and ESR tolerance of these capacitors over voltage,
temperature and frequency make these capacitors very suitable for use with LDO regulators.
Output Noise
Noise is specified in two ways:
Spot Noise or Output Noise Density is the RMS sum of all noise sources, measured at the regulator output, at
a specific frequency (measured with a 1Hz bandwidth). This type of noise is usually plotted on a curve as a
function of frequency.
Total Output Noise or Broad-Band Noise is the RMS sum of spot noise over a specified bandwidth, usually
several decades of frequencies.
Attention should be paid to the units of measurement. Spot noise is measured in units µV/√Hz or nV/√Hz and
total output noise is measured in µV(rms).

LP2966
SNVS028E –APRIL 2000–REVISED APRIL 2013
www.ti.com
The primary source of noise in low-dropout regulators is the internal reference. In CMOS regulators, noise has a
low frequency component and a high frequency component, which storngly depend on the silicon area and
quiescent current. Noise can be reduced in two ways: by increasing the transistor area or by increasing the
current drawn by the internal reference. Increasing the area will increase the die size and decreases the chance
of fitting the die into a small package. Increasing the current drawn by the internal reference increases the total
supply current (ground pin current) of the IC. Using an optimized trade-off of ground pin current and die size,
LP2966 achieves low noise performance with low quiescent current in an VSSOP-8 package.
Short-Circuit Foldback Protection
In the presence of a short or excessive load current condition, the LP2966 uses an internal short circuit foldback
mechanism that regulates the maximum deliverable output current. A strong negative temperature coefficient is
designed into the circuit to enable extremely higher peak output current capability (in excess of 400mA per output
at room temperature, see TYPICAL PERFORMANCE CHARACTERISTICS ). Thus, a system designer using the
LP2966 can achieve higher peak output current capability in applications where the LP2966 internal junction
temperature is kept below 125°C. Refer to APPLICATIONS INFORMATION on calculating the maximum output
current capability of the LP2966 for your application.
Error Flag Operation
The LP2966 produces a logic low signal at the Error Flag pin (ERROR) when the corresponding output drops out
of regulation due to low input voltage, current limiting, or thermal limiting. This flag has a built in Hysteresis. The
timing diagram in Figure 32 shows the relationship between the ERROR and the output voltage. In this example,
the input voltage is changed to demonstrate the functionality of the Error Flag.
Figure 32. Error Flag Operation
The internal error flag comparators have open drain output stages. Hence, the ERROR pins should be pulled
high through a pull up resistor. Although the ERROR pin can sink current of 1mA, this current adds to the battery
drain. Hence, the value of the pull up resistor should be in the range of 100kΩto 1MΩ.The ERROR pins must
be connected to ground if this function is not used. It should also be noted that when the shutdown pins are
pulled low, the ERROR pins are forced to be invalid for reasons of saving power in shutdown mode.
Shutdown Operation
The two LDO regulators in the LP2966 have independent shutdown. A CMOS Logic level signal at the shutdown
(SD) pin will turn-off the corresponding regulator. Pins SD1 and SD2 must be actively terminated through a
100kΩpull-up resistor for a proper operation. If these pins are driven from a source that actively pulls high and
low (such as a CMOS rail to rail comparator), the pull-up resistor is not required. These pins must be tied to Vin if
not used.

Drop-Out Voltage
The drop-out voltage of a regulator is defined as the minimum input-to-output differential required to stay within
100mV of the output voltage measured with a 1V differential. The LP2966 uses an internal MOSFET with an
Rds(on) of 1Ω. For CMOS LDOs, the drop-out voltage is the product of the load current and the Rds(on) of the
internal MOSFET.
Reverse Current Path
The internal MOSFET in the LP2966 has an inherent parasitic diode. During normal operation, the input voltage
is higher than the output voltage and the parasitic diode is reverse biased. However, if the output is pulled above
the input in an application, then current flows from the output to the input as the parasitic diode gets forward
biased. The output can be pulled above the input as long as the current in the parasitic diode is limited to
150mA.
Maximum Output Current Capability
Each output in the LP2966 can deliver a current of more than 150mA over the full operating temperature range.
However, the maximum output current capability should be derated by the junction temperature. Under all
possible conditions, the junction temperature must be within the range specified under operating conditions. The
LP2966 is available in VSSOP-8 package. This package has a junction to ambient temperature coefficient (θja) of
235 °C/W with minimum amount of copper area. The total power dissipation of the device is approximately given
by: PD= (Vin - VOUT1)IOUT1 + (Vin-VOUT2)IOUT2 (1)
The maximum power dissipation, PDmax, that the device can tolerate can be calculated by using the formula:
PDmax = (Tjmax - TA)/θja
where
• Tjmax is the maximum specified junction temperature (125°C)
• TAis the ambient temperature (2)
Figure 33 through Figure 37 show the variation of thermal coefficient with different layout scenarios.
