SG29055/55A
LOW DROPOUT DUAL REGULATOR
DESCRIPTION
The SG29055/55A is a dual 5V/5V positive voltage regulator. One output is a high
current (up to 1000 mA) regulator that can be turned on or off by a high impedance low
current TTL compatible switch. The second or standby output remains on regardless.
The on/off switch not only shuts off the high current output but actually puts the IC in
a micropower mode making possible a low quiescent current. This unique character-
istic coupled with an extremely low dropout, (.55V for output current of 10mA) makes
the SG29055/55A well suited for power systems that require standby memory. The
SG29055/55A includes other features which were originally designed for automotive
applications. These include protection from reverse battery installations and double
battery jumps. The high current regulator has overvoltage shutdown to protect both
the internal circuitry and the load during line transients, such as load dump (60V). In
addition, the high current regulator design also has built-in protection for short circuit
and thermal overload. During these fault conditions of the primary regulator the
standby regulator will continue to power its load.
The SG29055 is the 5 volt, ±5% version of a family of dual regulators with a standby
output voltage of 5V. Other high current outputs of 8.2V and 12V are available Also
available is the SG29055A which offers an improved output voltage tolerance of ±2%.
They are available in the plastic TO-220 power package and are designed to function
over the automotive ambient temperature range of -40°C to 85°C.

APPLICATION NOTES
The advantages of using a low-dropout regulator such as the
SG29055/55A are the need for less “headroom” for full regula-
tion, and the inherent reverse polarity protection provided by the
PNP output device. A typical NPN regulator design requires an
input to output differential of approximately two volts minimum.
This is due to the 2Vbe + Vcesat of the NPN Darlington used in
the output, coupled with the voltage drop across the current limit
resistor. In contrast, the “PNP Regulator” uses a single series
pass transistor with its single Vcesat, thus the lower input to
output voltage differential or dropout voltage.
In addition to a low dropout voltage, an important advantage of
the SG29055/55A series is low quiescent current in the standby
mode. When the high current or primary regulator is shut off, the

regulator enters a micropower mode. Here all but the most
essential circuitry to power the standby output is deactivated.
This allows the lowest possible quiescent current (typical around
1.2mA), a vital factor when used in a battery powered system.
In some applications the regulator output voltage is used not only
as a power supply but also as a voltage reference for control
systems. In such cases not just the temperature stability of the
output is important but also the initial accuracy. The SG29055/
55A fills this need as the internal bandgap reference is trimmed
allowing a typical output voltage tolerance of ±1%.

APPLICATION HINTS
EXTERNAL CAPACITORS
To stabilize the outputs and prevent oscillation (perhaps by many
volts) external capacitors are required. The minimum recom-
mended value for the output capacitors is 10µF, although the
actual size and type will likely vary according to the particular
application, e.g., operating temperature range and load. Another
consideration is the effective series resistance (ESR) of the
capacitor. Capacitor ESR will vary by manufacturer. Conse-
quently, some evaluation may be required to determine the
minimum value of the output capacitors. Generally worst case
occurs at the maximum load and minimum ambient temperature.
The size of the output capacitor can be increased to any value
above the minimum. One possible advantage of this would be to
maintain the output voltage during brief periods of negative input
transients
The output capacitors chosen should be rated for the full range
of ambient temperature over which the circuit will be exposed and
expected to operate. For example, many aluminum type electro-
lytic capacitors will freeze at -30°C. The effective capacitance is
reduced to zero in such a situation. Capacitors rated for -40°C
operation must be used in order to maintain regulator stability at
that temperature. Tantalum capacitors satisfy this requirement.
STANDBY OUTPUT
The SG29055/55A differs from most fixed voltage regulators in
that it is equipped with two regulator outputs instead of one. The
additional output is intended for use in systems requiring standby
memory circuits. While the high current regulator output can be
controlled with the ON/OFF pin described below, the standby
remains on under all conditions as long as sufficient input voltage
is applied to the IC. Thus, memory and other circuits powered by
this output remain unaffected by positive line transients, thermal
shutdown, etc.
The standby regulator circuit is designed so that the quiescent
current to the IC is very low (<1.5mA) when the other regulator
output is off.
If the standby output is not required it can be disabled. This is
accomplished by connecting a resistor from the standby output to
the supply voltage, thereby also eliminating the requirement for
a more expensive output capacitor to prevent unwanted oscilla-
tions. The resistor value depends upon the minimum input
voltage expected for a given system.
Since the standby output is shunted with an internal 5.6V zener,
the current through the external resistor should be sufficient to
bias internal resistors up to this point. Approximately 60µA will
suffice, resulting in a 10k external resistor for most applications
(Figure 1).

The high current regulated output features fault protection
against overvoltage as well as a thermal shutdown feature. If the
input voltage rises above 33V (load dump), the high current
output shuts down automatically. The internal circuitry is thus
protected and the IC is able to survive higher voltage transients
than might otherwise be expected. The thermal shutdown of the
high current output effectively guards against overheating of the
die since this section of the IC is the principle source of power
dissipation on the chip.
ON/OFF SWITCH
The ON/OFF pin is a high impedance low current switch that
controls the main output voltage (pin 2). This is directly compat-
ible with all 5 volt logic families. For use with open collector logic
outputs, a 50K resistor from this pin to a 5V supply, such as Pin
5, is required.
The SG29055/55A also has an internal pulldown resistor on pin
2 to ground. This resistor, approximately 90KΩ in value, ensures
the high current switched output remains off unless actively
pulled high.
