Presentation Transcript

  1. Linear Regulator Fundamentals 2.3 PNP

  2. Linear-Regulator Operation • Voltage feedback samples the outputR1 and R2 may be internal or external • Feedback controls pass transistor’s current to the load V V IN OUT PASS TRANSISTOR R1 ERROR C AMP C IN R OUT LOAD R2 V REF

  3. PNP-LDO Linear Regulator • Low drop-out voltage (VSAT of PNP) • Higher ground pin current (load dependent) • Requires output capacitor

  4. Simple Model of Losses in the PNP LDO Regulator

  5. The drive current for a load current requirement of 5mA Drive Current vs. Low/High Load Current Increasing the load current requirement to 500mA

  6. Summary • The NPN-Quasi-LDO has the following Characteristics: • Requires that the input voltage be only 100mV to 700mV higher than the output voltage • Has a higher Ground pin current than NPN type • Requires careful selection of the output capacitor value and ESR ratings

  7. Thank you!
