APPLICATIONS INFORMATION
The SPX2967 regulates an input voltage V
I
in the range of 5.5 V < V
I
< 40 V to a nominal
output voltage of V
Q
= 5.0V. A reset signal is
generated for an output voltage of V
Q
< V
RT
(typ. 4.5V). The reset delay can be set with
an external capacitor. The device has two
logic inputs. A voltage of V
E2
> 4.0V given to
the E2-pin (e.g. by ignition) turns the device
on. Depending on the voltage at pin E6 the
IC can be held in an active-state even if V
E2
goes to a low level. This makes it simple to
implement a self-holding circuit without ex-
ternal components. When the device is
turned off, the output voltage drops to ZeroV
and current consumption tends towards Zero
µA.
Design Notes for External Components
The input capacitor is necessary for com-
pensation of line influences. The resonant
circuit consisting of lead inductance and
input capacitance can be damped by a
resistor of approximately 1Ω in series with
the input capacitance . The output capacitor
is necessary for the stability of the regulat-
ing circuit. Stability is guaranteed at values
of
≥
22µF and an ESR of less than 3Ω within
the operating temperature range.
Circuit Description
The control amplifier compares a highly
accurate reference voltage to a voltage that
is proportional to the output voltage, and
drives the base of the series transistor via a
buffer. Saturation control as a function of
the load current prevents an over-satura-
tion of the power element.
The reset output RO is held high if the
voltage on the delay capacitor C
D
is greater
than or equal to V
UD.
The delay capacitance
C
D
is charged with the current I
D
for output
voltages greater than the reset threshold
V
RT
. If the output voltage goes lower than
V
RT
, the delay capacitor C
D
is quickly dis-
charged. As soon as V
CD
gets lower than V
LD,
the reset output RO is set to a low level. The
reset delay can be set within a wide range
by adjusting the capacitance of the external
capacitor.
