This device is an excellent choice for use in battery-powered applications such as cordless telephones, radio control systems, and portable computers. The SPX2920 features very low quiescent current (140µA Typ.) and very low dropout voltage. This includes a tight initial tolerance of 1% max and very low output temperature coefficient, making the SPX2920 useful as a lowpower voltage reference. The error flag output feature is used as power-on reset for warning of a low output voltage, due to a falling voltage input of batteries. Another feature is the logic-compatible shutdown input which enables the regulator to be switched on and off. The SPX2920 is offered in 3-pin TO-220 package, SO-8 (same pin out as SPX2951), SOT-223, and surface mount and 3-pin TO-263 packages. The regulator output voltage (of the SO-8) may be pin-strapped for a 3.3V and 5.0V or programmed from 1.24V to 20V with an external pair of resistors.

Note 2: Additional conditions for the 8-pin versions are feedback tied to 5V/3.3V tap and output tied to output sense (VOUT = 5V) and VSHUTDOWN ≤ 0.8V. Note 3: Regulation is measured at constant junction temperature, using pulse testing with a low duty cycle. Changes in output voltage due to heating effects are covered under the specification for thermal regulation. Note 4: Line regulation for the SPX2920 is tested at 150°C for IL = 1 mA. For TJ = 125°C, line regulation is guaranteed by design. Note 5: Dropout voltage is defined as the input to output differential at which the output voltage drops 100 mV below its nominal value measured at 1V differential at very low values of programmed output voltage, the minimum input supply voltage of 2V ( 2.3V over temperature) must be taken into account. Note 6: Comparator thresholds are expressed in terms of a voltage differential at the feedback terminal below the nominal reference voltage measured at 6V input. 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 guaranteed to go low when the output drops by 95 mV x 5V/1.235 = 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% guaranteed. Note 7: VSHUTDOWN ≥ 2V, VIN ≤ 20V, VOUT = 0, Feedback pin tied to 5V/3.3V Tap.

Oscillation could occur without this capacitor. Most types of tantalum or aluminum electrolytic works fine here. For operations of below -25°C solid tantalum is recommended since the many aluminum types have electrolytes that freeze at about -30°C. The ESR of about 5Ω or less and resonant frequency above 500kHz are the most important parameters in the value of the capacitor. The capacitor value can be increased without limit. At lower values of output current, less output capacitance is required for stability. For the currents below 10mA the value of the capacitor can be reduced to 0.5µF and 0.15µF for 1mA. More output capacitance needed for the 8-pin version at voltages below 5V since it runs the error amplifier at lower gain. At worst case 4.7µF or greater must be used for the condition of 250mA load at 1.23V output. The SPX2920, unlike other low dropout regulators will remain stable and in regulation with no load in addition to the internal voltage divider. This feature is especially important in applications like CMOS RAM keep-alive. 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, then a 0.1µF tantalum or aluminum electrolytic capacitor should be placed from the input to the ground. Instability can occur if there is stray capacitance to the SPX2920 feedback terminal (pin 7). This could cause more problems when using a higher value of external resistors to set the output voltage. This problem can be fixed by adding a 100pF capacitor between output and feedback and increasing the output capacitor to at least 3.3µF.

This is around 60mV offset divided by the 1.235 reference voltage. This trip level remains 5% below normal regardless of the programmed output voltage of the regulator. Figure 1 shows the timing diagram depicting the ERROR signal and the regulator output voltage as the SPX2920 input is ramped up and down. The ERROR signal becomes low at around 1.3V input, and goes high around 5V input (input voltage at which VOUT = 4.75). Since the SPX2920’s dropout voltage is load dependent, the input voltage trip point (around 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. Depending on the system requirements the resistor may be returned to 5V output or other supply voltage. In determining the value of this resistor, note that the output is rated to sink 400µA; this value adds to battery drain in a low battery condition. Suggested values range from 100K to 1MΩ. If th
