The device works as a normal voltage regulator built around the OP1 of the block diagram. The series pass element uses a PNP-NPN connec- tion to reduce the dropout. The reference voltage of the OP1 is derived from a REF through the OP2 and Q3, acting as an active zener diode of value VREF. In this condition the device works in the range (1) of the characteristic of the non linear drop control unit (see Figure 1). Figure 1 : Nonliner Transfer Characteristic of the Drop Control Unit The output voltage is fixed to its nominal value : VOUT NOM = VREF 1 + R1 R2 = VCFT 1 + R1 R2 The ripple rejection is quite high (70dB) and inde- pendent to CFT value. On the usual voltage regulators, when the input vol-tage goes below the nominal value, the regula- tion transistors (series element) saturate bringing the system out of regulation and making it very sensible to every variation of the input voltage. On the contrary, a control loop on the L4915 consents to avoid the saturation of the series element by regulating the value of the reference voltage (pin 2). In fact, whenever the input voltage de- creases below (VI MIN the supervisor loop, utilizing a non linear OTA, forces the reference voltage at pin 2 to decrease by discharging CFT. So, during the static mode, when the input voltage goes below VMIN the drop out is kept fixed to about 1.6 V. In this condition the device works as a low pass filter in the range (2) of the OTA characteristic. The ripple rejection is externally adjustable acting on CFT as follows : SVR (jΩ) = Vi (jΩ ) VOUT(jΩ) = 1 + 10− 6 gm jw CFT 1 + R1 R2 Where: gm = = 2 ⋅ 10-5 Ω-1 OTA’S typical transconductance value on linear region R1 R2 = fixed ratio CFT = value of capacitor in µF The reaction time of the supervisor loop is given by the transconductanceof the OTAand by CFT. When the value of the ripple voltage is so high and its negative peak is fast enough to determine an istan- taneous decrease of the dropout till 1.2V, the OTA works in a higher transconductance condition [range (3) of the characteristic] and discharges the capacitor rapidously. If the ripple frequency is high enough the capacitor won’t charge itself completely, and the output volt- age reaches a small value allowing a better ripple rejection ; the device’s again working as a filter (fast transient range). With CFT =10 µF; f = 100Hz; Vo = 8.5V a SVR of 35 is obtained. L4915 3/7 |
