  2. Agenda • Regulator Overview • Linear vs. Switching • Linear Regulators • Switching Regulators • CoolRunner-II Power-Up Recommendations • Regulator Application Examples • Our Favorite Regulators

  3. Linear vs. Switching • Two main categories of regulators: • Linear: • Most basic • Easy to use • Inexpensive • Switching: • High efficiency • Can create output voltages that are higher than input voltages • Can produce multiple output voltages from a single input source

  4. Linear Regulators Dropout voltage is defined as the minimum voltage drop required across the regulator in order to maintain proper output regulation Linear Regulators use a voltage-controlled current source to force voltage to appear at the output terminal The design specification of the current source defines the maximum load current that the regulator can supply

  5. Linear Regulator Types Standard Linear Regulators: • Dropout Voltages of approximately 1.5V to 2.2V • Best suited for AC-Powered applications, where dropout voltage is not a big concern • Dropout Voltages of approximately 100 mV to 500 mV • Lower dropout = highest efficiency • LDO Regulators are ideal for battery powered applications • Have additional features and have better output voltage precision Low-Dropout (LDO) Regulators:

  6. Switching Regulators These regulators require external inductors and capacitors to form an L-C network. This network filters the PWM output and provides DC output voltage Switching regulators use Pulse Width Modulation (PWM) to control output voltage Total power consumed is proportional to duty cycle of PWM output. Therefore switching regulators are more power efficient than Linear Regulators

  7. Switching Regulator Types Buck Converters: • Used to down convert a higher DC voltage to a lower DC voltage • Switching Buck Regulators are almost always more efficient than LDO Regulators • Useful in battery-powered applications where a single battery or series of batteries is not quite enough to reach full rail • Boost regulation can only be accomplished by switching regulators Boost Converters:

  8. CoolRunner-II Power-Up Recommendations 1) Vcc Ramp should be monotonic 2) Vcc Rise time should be as fast as possible (< 4 ms) 3) Vccint/Vccio power-up sequence • Ramp Vccint before Vccio 4) Choose a regulator with sufficient current 5) Use proper decoupling capacitor techniques
