By placing a resistor R1 across these two pins and connecting the Vsense and Vout pin together, a constant current flows through R1, adding to the Iadj current and into the R2 resistor producing a voltage equal to the (1.25/R1)*R2 + Iadj*R2. This voltage is then added to the 1.25V to set the output voltage. This is summarized in the above equation. Since the minimum load current requirement of the AP1184-ADJ is 10mA, R1 is typically selected to be a 121 Ω resistor so that it automatically satisfies this condition. Notice that since the Iadj is typically in the range of 50uA it only adds a small error to the output voltage and should be considered when very precise output voltage setting is required. Load Regulation Since the AP1184 has separate pins for the output (Vout) and the sense (Vsense), it is ideal for providing true remote sensing of the output voltage at the load. This means that the voltage drops due to parasitic resistance such as PCB traces between the regulator and the load are compensated for using remote sensing. Figure following shows a typical application of the AP1184-ADJ with remote sensing. AP1184-ADJ Vin Vctrl Vin Vctrl Vout Vsense Adj R1 R2 R L Stability The AP1184-XXX requires the use of an output capacitor as part of the frequency compensation in order to make the regulator stable. Typical designs for the microprocessor applications use standard electrolytic capacitors with typical ESR in the range of 50 to 100mΩ and an output capacitance of 100uF to 1000uF. Fortunately as the capacitance increases, the ESR decreases resulting in a fixed RC time constant. The AP1184-XXX takes advantage of the phenomena in making the overall regulator loop stable. For most applications a minimum of 100uF aluminum electrolytic capacitor insures both stability and good transient response. Thermal Design The AP1184-XXX incorporates an internal thermal shutdown that protects the device when the junction temperature exceeds the allowable maximum junction temperature. Although this device can operate with junction temperatures in the range of 150 oC, it is recommended that the selected heat sink be chosen such that during maximum continuous load operation, the junction temperature is kept below this number. The example below shows the steps in selecting the proper surface mount package. |
