General Description
T
he TS2938/A series of fixed-voltage monolithic micro-power voltage regulators is designed for a wide range of
applications. This device excellent choice of use in battery-power application. Furthermore, the quiescent current
increases on slightly at dropout, which prolongs battery life.
This series of fixed-voltage regulators features very low ground current (100uA Typ.), very low drop output voltage (Typ.
60mV at light load and 600mV at 500mA) and output inhibit control. This includes a tight initial tolerance of 1% (TS2938A)
and 2% (TS2938), extremely good line regulation of 0.05% typ., and very low output temperature coefficient.
This series is offered in 5-pin of TO-252-5L and 8-pin SOP-8 package.

Note 1: Absolute Maximum Rating is limits beyond which damage to the device may occur. For guaranteed Specifications
and test conditions see the Electrical Characteristics.
Note 2: Maximum positive supply voltage of 60V must be limited duration (<100mS) and duty cycle (<1%).
Note 3: The maximum allowable power dissipation is a function of the maximum junction temperature, Tj, the junction to
ambient thermal resistance,
θja,
and the ambient temperature, Ta. Exceeding the maximum allowable power
dissipation will cause excessive die temperature, and the regulator will go into thermal shutdown. The effective
value of
θja
can be reduced by using a heatsink.
Note 4: Dropout voltage is defined as the input to output differential at which the output voltage drops 2% below its
nominal value measured at 1V differential.
Note 5: Ground pin current is the regulator quiescent current. The total current drawn from the source is the sum of the
ground pin current and output load current.
Note 6: Output current will decrease with increasing temperature, but it will be not dropped below 500mA at the maximum
specified temperature.

Application Information
The TS2938/A series is a high performance with low
dropout voltage regulator suitable for moderate to high
current and voltage regulator application. Its 500Mv (typ)
dropout voltage at full load and over temperature makes it
especially valuable in battery power systems and as high
efficiency noise filters in post regulator applications. Unlike
normal NPN transistor design, where the base to emitter
voltage drop and collector to emitter saturation voltage
limit the minimum dropout voltage, dropout performance
of the PNP output of these devices is limited only by low
Vce saturation voltage.
The TS2938/A series is fully protected from damage due
to fault conditions. Linear current limiting is provided.
Output current during overload conditions is constant.
Thermal shutdown the device when the die temperature
exceeds the maximum safe operating temperature.
Transient protection allows device survival even when the
input voltage spikes above and below nominal. The output
structure of these regulators allows voltages in excess of
the desired output voltage to be applied without reverse
current flow.
good transient response and stability over
temperature. Aluminum electrolytic can also be
used, as long as the ESR of the capacitor is <2ohm.
The value of the output capacitor can be increased
without limit. Higher capacitance values help to
improved transient response and ripple rejection and
reduce output noise.
Minimum Load Current
The TS2938/A series is specified between finite
loads. If the output current is too small leakage
currents dominate and the output voltage rises. A
5mA minimum load current is necessary for proper
regulation.
Input Capacitor
An input capacitor of 1uF or greater is
recommended when the device is more that 4
inches away from the bulk AC supply capacitance or
when the supply is a battery. Small and surface
mount ceramic chip capacitors can be used for
bypassing. Larger values will help to improve ripple
rejection by bypassing the input to the regulator,
further improving the integrity of the output voltage.
Typical Application Circuit
Thermal Characteristics
A heatsink may be required depending on the
maximum power dissipation and maximum ambient
temperature of the application. Under all possible
operating conditions, the junction temperature must
be within the range specified under absolute
maximum ratings. To determine if the heatsink is
required, the power dissipated by the regulator, P
D
must be calculated.
The below formula shows the voltages and currents
for calculating the P
D
in the regulator:
Iin = I
L
/ I
G
P
D
= (Vin-Vout) * I
L
+ (Vin) * I
G
Ex. P
D
= (3.3V-2.5V) * 0.5A + 3.3V * 11mA
= 400mW + 36mW
= 436mW
Remark: I
L
is output load current,
I
G
is ground current.
Vin is input voltage
Vout is output voltage
Output Capacitor
The TS2938/A series requires an output capacitor to
maintain stability and improve transient response. Proper
capacitor selection is important to ensure proper
operation. The output capacitor selection is dependent
upon the ESR of the output capacitor the maintain
stability. When the output capacitor is 6.8uF or greater,
the output capacitor should have an ESR less than 2 ohm.
This will improve transient response as well as promoted
stability. Ultra low ESR capacitors (<100mohm), such as
ceramic chip capacitors may promote instability. These
very low ESR levels may cause an oscillation and/or
under damped transient response. A low ESR solid
tantalum capacitor works extremely well and provide

Inhibit Input
TS2938/A feature an active-low (Inhibit) input that
allows ON/OFF control of the regulator. The Inhibit
input has TTL/CMOS compatible thresholds for simple
interfacing with logic interfacing. Inhibit should be
directly tied to Ground or keep open (not connected).

or

C/W for the SOT-223 package, no heatsink is
needed since the package alone will dissipate enough
heat to satisfy these requirements. If the calculated
value for
θja
falls below these limits, a heatsink is
required.
