specifications.
(3) ESD testing was performed using Human Body Model, a 100 pF capacitor discharged through a 1.5 kΩresistor.
(4) The maximum allowable power dissipation is a function of the maximum junction temperature, TJ(MAX), the junction-to-ambient thermal
resistance, θJA, and the ambient temperature, TA. The maximum allowable power dissipation at any ambient temperature is calculated
trace material, and the number of layers and thermal vias. If a four layer board is used with maximum vias from the IC center to the heat
dissipating copper layers, values of θJAwhich can be obtained are approximately 60°C/W for the SO PowerPad and 40°C/W for the
WSON package. Exceeding the maximum allowable power dissipation will cause excessive die temperature, and the regulator will go
into thermal shutdown.
(5) If used in a dual-supply system where the regulator load is returned to a negative supply, the LP3879 output must be diode-clamped to
ground.
(6) The output PNP structure contains a diode between the VIN and VOUT terminals that is normally reverse-biased. Forcing the output
above the input will turn on this diode and may induce a latch-up mode which can damage the part (see Application Hints).

APPLICATION INFORMATION
PACKAGE INFORMATION
The LP3879 is offered in the 8-lead SO PowerPad or WSON surface mount packages to allow for increased
power dissipation compared to the SO-8 and Mini SO-8.
EXTERNAL CAPACITORS
Like any low-dropout regulator, the LP3879 requires external capacitors for regulator stability. These capacitors
must be correctly selected for good performance.
INPUT CAPACITOR: A capacitor whose value is at least 4.7 µF (±20%) is required between the LP3879 input
and ground. A good quality X5R / X7R ceramic capacitor should be used.
Capacitor tolerance and temperature variation must be considered when selecting a capacitor (see Capacitor
Characteristics section) to assure the minimum requirement of input capacitance is met over all operating
conditions.
The input capacitor must be located not more than 0.5" from the input pin and returned to a clean analog ground.
Any good quality ceramic or tantalum capacitor may be used, assuming the minimum input capacitance
requirement is met.
OUTPUT CAPACITOR: The LP3879 requires a ceramic output capacitor whose size is at least 10 µF (±20%). A
good quality X5R / X7R ceramic capacitor should be used. Capacitance tolerance and temperature
characteristics must be considered when selecting an output capacitor.
The LP3879 is designed specifically to work with ceramic output capacitors, utilizing circuitry which allows the
regulator to be stable across the entire range of output current with an ultra low ESR output capacitor.
The output capacitor selected must meet the requirement for minimum amount of capacitance and also have an
ESR (equivalent series resistance) value which is within the stable range. A curve is provided which shows the
stable ESR range as a function of load current (see Figure 19).

SNVS396B MAY 2006REVISED APRIL 2013
Figure 19. Stable Region For Output Capacitor ESR
Important: The output capacitor must maintain its ESR within the stable region over the full operating
temperature range of the application to assure stability.
The output capacitor ESR forms a zero which is required to add phase lead near the loop gain crossover
frequency, typically in the range of 50kHz to 200 kHz. The ESR at lower frequencies is of no importance. Some
capacitor manufacturers list ESR at low frequencies only, and some give a formula for Dissipation Factor which
can be used to calculate a value for a term referred to as ESR. However, since the DF formula is usually at a
much lower frequency than the range listed above, it will give an unrealistically high value. If good quality X5R or
X7R ceramic capacitors are used, the actual ESR in the 50 kHz to 200 kHz range will not exceed 25 milli Ohms.
If these are used as output capacitors for the LP3879, the regulator stability requirements are satisfied.
It is important to remember that capacitor tolerance and variation with temperature must be taken into
consideration when selecting an output capacitor so that the minimum required amount of output capacitance is
provided over the full operating temperature range. (See Capacitor Characteristics section).
The output capacitor must be located not more than 0.5" from the output pin and returned to a clean analog
ground.
NOISE BYPASS CAPACITOR: The 10 nF capacitor on the Bypass pin significantly reduces noise on the
regulator output and is required for loop stability. However, the capacitor is connected directly to a high-
impedance circuit in the bandgap reference.
Because this circuit has only a few microamperes flowing in it, any significant loading on this node will cause a
change in the regulated output voltage. For this reason, DC leakage current through the noise bypass capacitor
must never exceed 100 nA, and should be kept as low as possible for best output voltage accuracy.
The types of capacitors best suited for the noise bypass capacitor are ceramic and film. High-quality ceramic
capacitors with either NPO or COG dielectric typically have very low leakage. 10 nF polypropolene and
polycarbonate film capacitors are available in small surface-mount packages and typically have extremely low
leakage current.
CAPACITOR CHARACTERISTICS
CERAMIC: The LP3879 was designed to work with ceramic capacitors on the output to take advantage of the
benefits they offer: for capacitance values in the 10 µF range, ceramics are the least expensive and also have
the lowest ESR values (which makes them best for eliminating high-frequency noise). The ESR of a typical 10 µF
ceramic capacitor is in the range of 5 mΩto 10 mΩ, which meets the ESR limits required for stability by the
LP3879.
One disadvantage of ceramic capacitors is that their capacitance can vary with temperature. Many large value
ceramic capacitors (2.2 µF) are manufactured with the Z5U or Y5V temperature characteristic, which results in
the capacitance dropping by more than 50% as the temperature goes from 25°C to 85°C.
Another significant problem with Z5U and Y5V dielectric devices is that the capacitance drops severely with
applied voltage. A typical Z5U or Y5V capacitor can lose 60% of its rated capacitance with half of the rated
voltage applied to it.

Product Folder Links: LP3879
LP3879
SNVS396B MAY 2006REVISED APRIL 2013
www.ti.com
For these reasons, X7R and X5R type ceramic capacitors must be used on the input and output of the
LP3879.
SHUTDOWN INPUT OPERATION
The LP3879 is shut off by pulling the Shutdown input low, and turned on by pulling it high. If this feature is not to
be used, the Shutdown input should be tied to VIN to keep the regulator output on at all times.
To assure proper operation, the signal source used to drive the Shutdown input must be able to swing above and
below the specified turn-on/turn-off voltage thresholds listed in the Electrical Characteristics section under
VON/OFF.
REVERSE INPUT-OUTPUT VOLTAGE
The PNP power transistor used as the pass element in the LP3879 has an inherent diode connected between
the regulator output and input.
During normal operation (where the input voltage is higher than the output) this diode is reverse-biased.
However, if the output is pulled above the input, this diode will turn ON and current will flow into the regulator
output.
In such cases, a parasitic SCR can latch which will allow a high current to flow into VIN (and out the ground pin),
which can damage the part.
In any application where the output may be pulled above the input, an external Schottky diode must be
connected from VIN to VOUT (cathode on VIN, anode on VOUT), to limit the reverse voltage across the LP3879 to
0.3V (see Absolute Maximum Ratings).

IMPORTANT NOTICE
Texas Instruments Incorporated (TI) reserves 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.
TI’s published terms of sale for semiconductor products (http://www.ti.com/sc/docs/stdterms.htm) apply to the sale of packaged integrated
circuit products that TI has qualified and released to market. Additional terms may apply to the use or sale of other types of TI products and
services.
Reproduction of significant portions of TI information in TI 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 reproduced
documentation. Information of third parties may be subject to additional restrictions. Resale of TI products or services with statements
different from or beyond the parameters stated by TI for that product or service voids all express and any implied warranties for the
associated TI product or service and is an unfair and deceptive business practice. TI is not responsible or liable for any such statements.
Buyers and others who are developing systems that incorporate TI products (collectively, “Designers”) understand and agree that Designers
remain responsible for using their independent analysis, evaluation and judgment in designing their applications and that Designers have
full and exclusive responsibility to assure the safety of Designers' applications and compliance of their applications (and of all TI products
used in or for Designers’ applications) with all applicable regulations, laws and other applicable requirements. Designer represents that, with
respect to their applications, Designer has all the necessary expertise to create and implement safeguards that (1) anticipate dangerous
consequences of failures, (2) monitor failures and their consequences, and (3) lessen the likelihood of failures that might cause harm and
take appropriate actions. Designer agrees that prior to using or distributing any applications that include TI products, Designer will
thoroughly test such applications and the functionality of such TI products as used in such applications.
TI’s provision of technical, application or other design advice, quality characterization, reliability data or other services or information,
including, but not limited to, reference designs and materials relating to evaluation modules, (collectively, “TI Resources”) are intended to
assist designers who are developing applications that incorporate TI products; by downloading, accessing or using TI Resources in any
way, Designer (individually or, if Designer is acting on behalf of a company, Designer’s company) agrees to use any particular TI Resource
solely for this purpose and subject to the terms of this Notice.
TI’s provision of TI Resources does not expand or otherwise alter TI’s applicable published warranties or warranty disclaimers for TI
products, and no additional obligations or liabilities arise from TI providing such TI Resources. TI reserves the right to make corrections,
enhancements, improvements and other changes to its TI Resources. TI has not conducted any testing other than that specifically
described in the published documentation for a particular TI Resource.
Designer is authorized to use, copy and modify any individual TI Resource only in connection with the development of applications that
include the TI product(s) identified in such TI Resource. NO OTHER LICENSE, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, BY ESTOPPEL OR OTHERWISE
TO ANY OTHER TI INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY RIGHT, AND NO LICENSE TO ANY TECHNOLOGY OR INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY
RIGHT OF TI OR ANY THIRD PARTY IS GRANTED HEREIN, including but not limited to any patent right, copyright, mask work right, or
other intellectual property right relating to any combination, machine, or process in which TI products or services are used. Information
regarding or referencing third-party products or services does not constitute a license to use such products or services, or a warranty or
endorsement thereof. Use of TI Resources 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.
TI RESOURCES ARE PROVIDED “AS IS” AND WITH ALL FAULTS. TI DISCLAIMS ALL OTHER WARRANTIES OR
REPRESENTATIONS, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, REGARDING RESOURCES OR USE THEREOF, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO
ACCURACY OR COMPLETENESS, TITLE, ANY EPIDEMIC FAILURE WARRANTY AND ANY IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF
MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, AND NON-INFRINGEMENT OF ANY THIRD PARTY INTELLECTUAL
PROPERTY RIGHTS. TI SHALL NOT BE LIABLE FOR AND SHALL NOT DEFEND OR INDEMNIFY DESIGNER AGAINST ANY CLAIM,
INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO ANY INFRINGEMENT CLAIM THAT RELATES TO OR IS BASED ON ANY COMBINATION OF
PRODUCTS EVEN IF DESCRIBED IN TI RESOURCES OR OTHERWISE. IN NO EVENT SHALL TI BE LIABLE FOR ANY ACTUAL,
DIRECT, SPECIAL, COLLATERAL, INDIRECT, PUNITIVE, INCIDENTAL, CONSEQUENTIAL OR EXEMPLARY DAMAGES IN
CONNECTION WITH OR ARISING OUT OF TI RESOURCES OR USE THEREOF, AND REGARDLESS OF WHETHER TI HAS BEEN
ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES.
Unless TI has explicitly designated an individual product as meeting the requirements of a particular industry standard (e.g., ISO/TS 16949
and ISO 26262), TI is not responsible for any failure to meet such industry standard requirements.
Where TI specifically promotes products as facilitating functional safety or as compliant with industry functional safety standards, such
products are intended to help enable customers to design and create their own applications that meet applicable functional safety standards
and requirements. Using products in an application does not by itself establish any safety features in the application. Designers must
ensure compliance with safety-related requirements and standards applicable to their applications. Designer may not use any TI products in
life-critical medical equipment unless authorized officers of the parties have executed a special contract specifically governing such use.
Life-critical medical equipment is medical equipment where failure of such equipment would cause serious bodily injury or death (e.g., life
support, pacemakers, defibrillators, heart pumps, neurostimulators, and implantables). Such equipment includes, without limitation, all
medical devices identified by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration as Class III devices and equivalent classifications outside the U.S.
TI may expressly designate certain products as completing a particular qualification (e.g., Q100, Military Grade, or Enhanced Product).
Designers agree that it has the necessary expertise to select the product with the appropriate qualification designation for their applications
and that proper product selection is at Designers’ own risk. Designers are solely responsible for compliance with all legal and regulatory
requirements in connection with such selection.
Designer will fully indemnify TI and its representatives against any damages, costs, losses, and/or liabilities arising out of Designer’s non-
compliance with the terms and provisions of this Notice.
