Note 1: Maximum positive supply voltage of 60V must be of limited duration (<100msec) and duty cycle.) The maximum continuous supply voltage is 26V. Note 2: Full load current (IFL) is defined as 1.25A for the LM2941. Note 3: Dropout voltage is defined as the input-to output differential when the output voltage drops to 99% of its nominal value with VOUT + 1V applied to VIN. Note 4: VIN = VOUT (NOMINAL) +1V. For example, use VIN= 4.3V for a 3.3V regulator. Employ pulse-testing procedures to minimize temperature rise. Note 5: Ground pin current is the regulator quiescent current. The total current drawn from the source is the sum of the load current to the ground current. Note 6: Output voltage temperature coefficient is defined as the worst case voltage changed divided by the total temperature range. Note 7: Thermal regulation is defined as the change in the output voltage at a time T after a change in power dissipation is applied, excluding load or line regulation effects. Specifications are for a 200mA load pulse as VIN = 20V (a 4W pulse) for T = 10ms. Note 8: VREF VOUT (VIN - 1), 2.3V VIN 26V, 10mA < IL IFL, TJ TJMAX Note 9: Comparator threshold is expressed in terms of a voltage differential at the Adjust terminal below the nominal reference voltage measured 6V input. To express these thresholds in terms of output voltage change, multiply the error amplifier gain = VOUT/VREF = (R1 + R2)/R2. For example, at a programmable output voltage of 5V, the Error output is guaranteed to go low when the output drops by 95mVx 5V/ 1.240V = 38mV. Threshold remains constant as a percent of VOUT as VOUT is varied, with the dropout warning occurring at typically 5% below nominal, 7.7% guaranteed. Note 10: VEN 0.8V and VIN 26V, VOUT = 0.

However, the use of an output capacitor is required in order to insure the stability and the performances. To ensure a proper behavior of the regulator at light load, a minimum load of 5mA for LM2941 is required. Thermal Consideration Although the LM2941 offers limiting circuitry for overload conditions, it is necessary not to exceed the maximum junction temperature, and therefore to be careful about thermal resistance. The heat flow will follow the lowest resistance path, which is the Junctionto-case thermal resistance. In order to insure the best thermal flow of the component, a proper mounting is required. Note that the case of the device is electrically connected to the output. The case has to be electrically isolated, a thermally conductive spacer can be used. However do not forget to consider its contribution to thermal resistance. Assuming: VIN = 10V, VOUT = 5V, IOUT = 1.5A, TA = 90C, CASE= 1C/W (no external heat sink, no wind) Power dissipation under these conditions PD = (VIN - VOUT) * IOUT = 7.5W Adjustable Regulator Design B29152/53 are adjustable regulators and maybe programmed for any value between 1.25V and 26V using two resistors. The relation between the resistors is given by: R1=R2 (VOUT/1.240 -1) Resistors have a large value up to 1m in order to reduce the current consumption. This might be interesting in the case of widely varying load currents. Enable Input LM2941 features enable input allowing turning ON & OFF the device. EN has been designed to be compatible with TTL/CMOS logic. When the regulator is ON, the current flowing through this pin is approximately 20A. BAY B2940 VIN V OU T Junction Temperature TJ = TA + PD * (CASE+ JC) For the Control Section TJ = 90C + 7.5W*(1C/W + 0.6C/W) = 102C 114C < TJUNCTION MAX for the control section. For the Power Section TJ = 90C + 7.5W*(1C/W + 1.6C/W) = 104.5C 109.5C < TJUNCTION MAX for the power transistor. Fig.1 Basic Fixed Output Regulator In both case reliable operation is insured by adequate junction temperature. Capacitor Requirements The output capacitor is needed for stability and to minimize the output noise. The required value of the capacitor varies with the load. However, a minimum value of 10F Aluminum will guarantee stability over load. A tantalum capacitor is recommended for a fast load transient response. If the power source has high AC impedance, a 0.1F capacitor between input & ground is recommended. This capacitor should have good characteristics up to 250 kHz. 1 2 VIN BAY B2941 3 VOUT 4 R1 5 VOUT = VREF X [1 + (R1/ R2)] R2 For best results, the total series resistance should be small enough to pass the minimum regulator load current Fig. 2 Adjustable Output Voltage Regulator Bay Linear, Inc 2478 Armstrong Street, Livermore, CA 94550 Tel: (925) 989-7144, Fax: (925) 940-9556 www.baylinear.com LM2940/2941 Advance Information- These data sheets contain descriptions of products that are in development.
