The LX8584/84A/84B series ICs
are low dropout three-terminal
positive regulators with a nominal 7A
output current. This product family is
ideally suited for Pentium® Processor
and Power PCTM applications
requiring fast transient response. The
LX8584A is
guaranteed to have <
1.2V at 7A
and the LX8584/84B
<
1.4V at 7A dropout voltage,
making
them ideal to provide well regulated
outputs of 2.5V to 3.6V using a 5V
input supply. In addition,
the
LX8584B also offers ±1% maximum
voltage reference accuracy over
temperature.
Fixed versions are also
available and are specified in the
Available Options table below.
Current limit is trimmed above 7.1A
to ensure adequate output current and
controlled short-circuit current. On-chip
thermal limiting provides protection
against any combination of overload
that would create excessive junction
temperatures. The LX8584/84A series
products are available in both the
through-hole versions of the industry
standard 3-pin TO-220 and TO-247
power packages.
The LX1431
Programmable Reference utilzed in
conjunction with the LX8584 7A LDO
products offer precision output voltage
(see application below) and are ideal for
use in VRE applications.

THEORY OF OPERATION
The LX8584/84A/84B series ICs are easy to use Low-Dropout
(LDO) voltage regulators. They have all of the standard self-
protection features expected of a voltage regulator: short circuit
protection, safe operating area protection and automatic thermal
shutdown if the device temperature rises above approximately
165°C.
Use of an output capacitor is REQUIRED with the LX8584 /
84A / 84B series. Please see the table below for recommended
minimum capacitor values.
These regulators offer a more tightly controlled reference voltage
tolerance and superior reference stability when measured against
the older pin-compatible regulator types that they replace.
Stability
The output capacitor is part of the regulator’s frequency
compensation system. Many types of capacitors are available, with
different capacitance value tolerances, capacitance temperature
coefficients, and equivalent series impedances. For all operating
conditions, connection of a 220μF aluminum electrolytic capacitor
or a 47μF solid tantalum capacitor between the output terminal
and ground will guarantee stable operation.
If a bypass capacitor is connected between the output voltage
adjust (ADJ) pin and ground, ripple rejection will be improved
(please see the section entitled “RIPPLE REJECTION”). When
ADJ pin bypassing is used, the required output capacitor value
increases. Output capacitor values of 220μF (aluminum) or 47μF
(tantalum) provide for all cases of bypassing the ADJ pin. If an
ADJ pin bypass capacitor is not used, smaller output capacitor
values are adequate. The table below shows recommended
minimum capacitance values for stable operation.

In order to ensure good transient response from the power supply
system under rapidly changing current load conditions, designers
generally use several output capacitors connected in parallel. Such
an arrangement serves to minimize the effects of the parasitic
resistance (ESR) and inductance (ESL) that are present in all
capacitors. Cost-effective solutions that sufficiently limit ESR and
ESL effects generally result in total capacitance values in the
range of hundreds to thousands of microfarads, which is more than
adequate to meet regulator output capacitor specifications. Output
capacitance values may be increased without limit.
The circuit shown in Figure 1 can be used to observe the
transient response characteristics of the regulator in a power
system under changing loads. The effects of different capacitor
types and values on transient response parameters, such as
overshoot and undershoot, can be quickly compared in order to
develop an optimum solution.

Dynamic Input and Output Test
Overload Recovery
Like almost all IC power regulators, the LX8584/84A/84B
regulators are equipped with Safe Operating Area (SOA)
protection. The SOA circuit limits the regulator's maximum
output current to progressively lower values as the input-to-
output voltage difference increases. By limiting the maximum
output current, the SOA circuit keeps the amount of power that is
dissipated in the regulator itself within safe limits for all values of
input-to-output voltage within the operating range of the
regulator. The LX8584/84A/84B SOA protection system is
designed to be able to supply some output current for all values of
input-to-output voltage, up to the device breakdown voltage.
Under some conditions, a correctly operating SOA circuit may
prevent a power supply system from returning to regulated
operation after removal of an intermittent short circuit at the
output of the regulator. This is a normal mode of operation which
can be seen in most similar products, including older devices such
as 7800 series regulators. It is most likely to occur when the
power system input voltage is relatively high and the load
impedance is relatively low.
When the power system is started “cold”, both the input and
output voltages are very close to zero. The output voltage closely
follows the rising input voltage, and the input-to-output voltage
difference is small. The SOA circuit therefore permits the
regulator to supply large amounts of current as needed to develop
the designed voltage level at the regulator output. Now consider
the case where the regulator is supplying regulated voltage to a
resistive load under steady state conditions. A moderate input-to-
output voltage appears across the regulator but the voltage
difference is small enough that the SOA circuitry allows
sufficient current to flow through the regulator to develop the
designed output voltage across the load resistance. If the output
resistor is short-circuited to ground, the input-to-output voltage
difference across the regulator suddenly becomes larger by the
amount of voltage that had appeared across the load resistor. The
SOA circuit reads the increased input-to output voltage, and cuts
back the amount of current that it will permit the regulator to
supply to its output terminal. When the short circuit across the
output resistor is removed, all the regulator output current will
again flow through the output resistor. The maximum current that
the regulator can supply to the resistor will be limited by the SOA
circuit, based on the large input-to-output voltage across the
regulator at the time the short circuit is removed from the output.

APPLICATION NOTE
Overload Recovery
(continued)
If this limited current is not sufficient to develop the designed
voltage across the output resistor, the voltage will stabilize at some
lower value, and will never reach the designed value. Under these
circumstances, it may be necessary to cycle the input voltage
down to zero in order to make the regulator output voltage return
to regulation.
RIPPLE REJECTION
Ripple rejection can be improved by connecting a capacitor
between the ADJ pin and ground. The value of the capacitor
should be chosen so that the impedance of the capacitor is equal in
magnitude to the resistance of R
1
at the ripple frequency. The
capacitor value can be determined by using this equation:
C
=
1/(6.28 * F
R
* R
1
)
Where:
C
≡
the value of the capacitor in Farads; select an
equal or larger standard value.
F
R
≡
the ripple frequency in Hz
R
1
≡
the value of resistor R1 in ohms
At a ripple frequency of 120Hz, with R1 = 100Ω
C
=
1/(6.28 * 120Hz * 100
Ω
)
=
13.3µF
The closest equal or larger standard value should be used, in this
case; 15μF.
When an ADJ pin bypass capacitor is used, output ripple
amplitude will be essentially independent of the output voltage. If
an ADJ pin bypass capacitor is not used, output ripple will be
proportional to the ratio of the output voltage to the reference
voltage:

For example, if V

= 2.5V the output ripple will be:
M = 2.5V / 1.25V = 2
Output ripple will be twice as bad as it would be if the ADJ pin
were to be bypassed to ground with a properly selected capacitor.
OUTPUT VOLTAGE
The LX8584/84A/84B ICs develop a 1.25V reference voltage
between the output and the adjust terminal (See Figure 2). By
placing a resistor, R1, between these two terminals, a constant
current is caused to flow through R1 and down through R2 to set
the overall output voltage. Normally this current is the specified
minimum load current of 10mA. Because I

a small error and can usually be ignored.

LOAD REGULATION
Because the LX8584/84A/84B regulators are three-terminal
devices, it is not possible to provide true remote load sensing.
Load regulation will be limited by the resistance of the wire
connecting the regulator to the load. The data sheet specification
for load regulation is measured at the bottom of the package.
Negative side sensing is a true Kelvin connection, with the
bottom of the output divider returned to the negative side of the
load. Although it may not be immediately obvious, best load
regulation is obtained when the top of the resistor divider, (R1), is
connected directly to the case of the regulator, not to the load.
This is illustrated in Figure 3. If R
1
were connected to the load,
the effective resistance between the regulator and the load would
be:
