MOTOROLA ANALOG IC DEVICE DATA
The LP2950 and LP2951 are micropower voltage regulators that are
specifically designed to maintain proper regulation with an extremely low
input–to–output voltage differential. These devices feature a very low
quiescent bias current of 75 µA and are capable of supplying output currents
in excess of 100 mA. Internal current and thermal limiting protection is
provided.
The LP2951 has three additional features. The first is the Error Output
that can be used to signal external circuitry of an out of regulation condition,
or as a microprocessor power–on reset. The second feature allows the
output voltage to be preset to 5.0 V, 3.3 V or 3.0 V output (depending on the
version) or programmed from 1.25 V to 29 V. It consists of a pinned out
resistor divider along with direct access to the Error Amplifier feedback input.
The third feature is a Shutdown input that allows a logic level signal to
turn–off or turn–on the regulator output.
Due to the low input–to–output voltage differential and bias current
specifications, these devices are ideally suited for battery powered
computer, consumer, and industrial equipment where an extension of
useful battery life is desirable. The LP2950 is available in the three pin case
29 and DPAK packages, and the LP2951 is available in the eight pin
dual–in–line, SO–8 and Micro–8 surface mount packages. The ‘A’ suffix
devices feature an initial output voltage tolerance ±0.5%.
LP2950 and LP2951 Features:
•Low Quiescent Bias Current of 75 µA
•Low Input–to–Output Voltage Differential of 50 mV at 100 µA and
380 mV at 100 mA
•5.0 V, 3.3 V or 3.0 V ±0.5% Allows Use as a Regulator or Reference
•Extremely Tight Line and Load Regulation
•Requires Only a 1.0 µF Output Capacitor for Stability
•Internal Current and Thermal Limiting
LP2951 Additional Features:
•Error Output Signals an Out of Regulation Condition
•Output Programmable from 1.25 V to 29 V
•Logic Level Shutdown Input

MOTOROLA ANALOG IC DEVICE DATA
DEFINITIONS
Dropout Voltage – The input/output voltage differential at
which the regulator output no longer maintains regulation
against further reductions in input voltage. Measured when
the output drops 100 mV below its nominal value (which is
measured at 1.0 V differential), dropout voltage is af fected by
junction temperature, load current and minimum input supply
requirements.
Line Regulation – The change in output voltage for a
change in input voltage. The measurement is made under
conditions of low dissipation or by using pulse techniques
such that average chip temperature is not significantly
affected.
Load Regulation – The change in output voltage for a
change in load current at constant chip temperature.
Maximum Power Dissipation – The maximum total
device dissipation for which the regulator will operate within
specifications.
Bias Current – Current which is used to operate the
regulator chip and is not delivered to the load.
Output Noise Voltage – The rms ac voltage at the output,
with constant load and no input ripple, measured over a
specified frequency range.
Leakage Current – Current drawn through a bipolar
transistor collector–base junction, under a specified collector
voltage, when the transistor is “off”.
Upper Threshold Voltage – Voltage applied to the
comparator input terminal, below the reference voltage
which is applied to the other comparator input terminal,
which causes the comparator output to change state from a
logic “0” to “1”.
Lower Threshold Voltage – Voltage applied to the
comparator input terminal, below the reference voltage
which is applied to the other comparator input terminal,
which causes the comparator output to change state from a
logic “1” to “0”.
Hysteresis – The difference between Lower Threshold
voltage and Upper Threshold voltage.

APPLICATIONS INFORMATION
Introduction
The LP2950/LP2951 regulators are designed with
internal current limiting and thermal shutdown making them
user–friendly. Typical application circuits for the LP2950 and
LP2951 are shown in Figures 17 through 25.
These regulators are not internally compensated and thus
require a 1.0 µF (or greater) capacitance between the
LP2950/LP2951 output terminal and ground for stability.
Most types of aluminum, tantalum or multilayer ceramic will
perform adequately. Solid tantalums or appropriate
multilayer ceramic capacitors are recommended for
operation below 25°C.
At lower values of output current, less output capacitance
is required for output stability. The capacitor can be reduced
to 0.33 µF for currents less than 10 mA, or 0.1 µF for currents
below 1.0 mA. Using the 8–pin versions at voltages less than
5.0 V operates the error amplifier at lower values of gain, so
that more output capacitance is needed for stability. For the
worst case operating condition of a 100 mA load at 1.23 V
output (Output Pin 1 connected to the feedback Pin 7) a
minimum capacitance of 3.3 µF is recommended.
The LP2950 will remain stable and in regulation when
operated with no output load. When setting the output voltage
of the LP2951 with external resistors, the resistance values
should be chosen to draw a minimum of 1.0 µA.
A bypass capacitor is recommended across the
LP2950/LP2951 input to ground if more than 4 inches of
wire connects the input to either a battery or power supply
filter capacitor.
Input capacitance at the LP2951 Feedback Pin 7 can
create a pole, causing instability if high value external
resistors are used to set the output voltage. Adding a 100 pF
capacitor between the Output Pin 1 and the Feedback Pin 7
and increasing the output filter capacitor to at least 3.3 µF will
stabilize the feedback loop.
Error Detection Comparator
The comparator switches to a positive logic low whenever
the LP2951 output voltage falls more than approximately
5.0% out of regulation. This value is the comparator’s
designed–in offset voltage of 60 mV divided by the 1.235 V
internal reference. As shown in the representative block
diagram. This trip level remains 5.0% below normal
regardless of the value of regulated output voltage. For
example, the error flag trip level is 4.75 V for a normal 5.0 V
regulated output, or 9.50 V for a 10 V output voltage.
Figure 1 is a timing diagram which shows the ERROR
signal and the regulated output voltage as the input voltage to
the LP2951 is ramped up and down. The ERROR signal
becomes valid (low) at about 1.3 V input. It goes high when
the input reaches about 5.0 V (Vout exceeds about 4.75 V).
Since the LP2951’s dropout voltage is dependent upon the
load current (refer to the curve in the Typical Performance
Characteristics), the input voltage trip point will vary with load
current. The output voltage trip point does not vary with load.
The error comparator output is an open collector which
requires an external pull–up resistor. This resistor may be
returned to the output or some other voltage within the
system. The resistance value should be chosen to be
consistent with the 400 µA sink capability of the error
comparator . A value between 100 k and 1.0 MΩ is suggested.
No pull–up resistance is required if this output is unused.
When operated in the shutdown mode, the error
comparator output will go high if it has been pulled up to an
external supply. To avoid this invalid response, the error
comparator output should be pulled up to Vout (see
Figure 15).

Programming the Output Voltage (LP2951)
The LP2951CX may be pin–strapped for 5.0 V using its
internal voltage divider by tying Pin 1 (output) to Pin 2 (sense)
and Pin 7 (feedback) to Pin 6 (5.0 V tap). Alternatively, it may
be programmed for any output voltage between its 1.235
reference voltage and its 30 V maximum rating. An external
pair of resistors is required, as shown in Figure 16.

where V ref is the nominal 1.235 V reference voltage and IFB
is the feedback pin bias current, nominally –20 nA. The
minimum recommended load current of 1.0 µA forces an
upper limit of 1.2 MΩ on the value of R2, if the regulator must
work with no load. IFB will produce a 2% typical error in V out
which may be eliminated at room temperature by adjusting
R1. For better accuracy, choosing R2 = 100 k reduces this
LP2950 LP2951

MOTOROLA ANALOG IC DEVICE DATA
error to 0.17% while increasing the resistor program current
to 12 µA. Since the LP2951 typically draws 75 µA at no load
with Pin 2 open circuited, the extra 12 µA of current drawn is
often a worthwhile tradeoff for eliminating the need to set
output voltage in test.
Output Noise
In many applications it is desirable to reduce the noise
present at the output. Reducing the regulator bandwidth by
increasing the size of the output capacitor is the only method
for reducing noise on the 3 lead LP2950. However,
increasing the capacitor from 1.0 µF to 220 µF only
decreases the noise from 430 µV to 160 µV rms for a 100 kHz
bandwidth at the 5.0 V output.
Noise can be reduced fourfold by a bypass capacitor
across R1, since it reduces the high frequency gain from 4 to
unity. Pick

or about 0.01 µF. When doing this, the output capacitor
must be increased to 3.3 µF to maintain stability. These
changes reduce the output noise from 430 µV to 126 µVrms
for a 100 kHz bandwidth at 5.0 V output. With bypass
capacitor added, noise no longer scales with output voltage
so that improvements are more dramatic at higher output
voltages.
