FUNCTIONAL DESCRIPTION The operating principle of the voltage regulator is based on the reference, the error amplifier, the driver and the power PNP. This stage uses an Isolated Collector Vertical PNP transistor which allows to obtain very low dropout voltage (typ. 450mV) and low quiescentcurrent (IQ = 20mAtypically atIo = 1A). Thanks to these features the device is particularly suited when the power dissipation must be limited as, for example, in automotive or industrial applications supplied by battery. The three gain stages (operational amplifier, driver and power PNP) require the external capacitor (Comin = 22µF) to guarantee the global stability of the system.

The antisaturationcircuit allows to reduce drastically the current peak which takes place during the start up. The reset function is LOW active when the output voltage level is lower than the reset threshold voltage VRthOFF (typ.value : Vo ­150mV). When the output voltage is higher than VRthON the reset becomes HIGH after a delay time settablewith the externalcapacitor Cd. Typically td = 20ms, Cd = 0.1µF. The reset and delay threshold hysteresis improve the noise immunity allowing to avoid false switchings. The typical reset output waveform is shown in fig. 1.

EXTERNAL COMPENSATION Since the purpose of a voltage regulator is to supply a fixed output voltage in spite of supply and load variations, the open loop gain of the regulator must be very high at low frequencies. This may cause instability as a result of the various poles present in the loop. To avoid this instability dominant pole compensation is used to reduce phase shifts due to other poles at the unity gain frequency. The lower the frequency of these other poles, the greater must be the capacitor used to create the dominant pole for the same DC gain.

Where the output transistor is a lateral PNP type there is a pole in the regulation loop at a frequency too low to be compensated by a capacitor wich can be integrated. An external compensation is therefore necessary so a very high value capacitor must be connected from the output to ground. The parassitic equivalent series resistance of the capacitor used adds a zero to the regulation loop. This zero may compromise the stability of the system since its effect tends to cancel the effect of the pole added. In regulatorsthis ESR must be less than 3 and the minimum capacitor value is 47µF.
