The SPX3940/41/42 is a low power voltage regulator. This device is an excellent choice for battery-powered applications such as
cordless telephones, radio control systems and portable computers. The SPX3940/41/42 features very low quiescent current (100µA
Typ.) and very low dropout voltage. This includes a tight initial tolerance of 1% max and 2% max., and very low output temperature
coefficient, making the SPX3940/41/42 useful as a low-power voltage reference.
The error flag output feature is used as power-on reset for warning of a low output voltage, due to a falling voltage input of batteries.
Another feature is the logic-compatible shutdown input which enables the regulator to be switched on and off. The SPX3940/41/42 is
offered in 3-pin and 5-pin TO-220 package SOT-223, and surface mount TO-263 packages.
The regulator output voltage (of the 8-pin SO-8 and 5-pin TO-220 & TO-263) may be pin-strapped for a 3.3V or programmed from
1.24V to 29V with an external pair of resistors.

SPX3940/41/42
APPLICATION HINTS
EXTERNAL CAPACITORS
The stability of the SPX3940/41/42 requires a 2.2µF or greater
capacitor between output and ground. Oscillation could occur
without this capacitor. Most types of tantalum or aluminum
electrolytic works fine here. For operations of below -25°C solid
tantalum is recommended since the many aluminum types have
electrolytes the freeze at about -30°C. The ESR of about 5Ω or
less and resonant frequency above 500kHz are the most
important parameters in the value of the capacitor. The capacitor
value can be increased without limit.
At lower values of output current, less output capacitance is
required for stability. For the currents below 10mA the value of
the capacitor can be reduced to 0.5µF and 0.15µF for 1A. More
output capacitance needed for the 8-pin version at voltages below
5V since it runs the error amplifier at lower gain. At worst case
5µF or greater must be used for the condition of 250mA load at
1.23V output.
The SPX3940/41/42, unlike other low dropout regulators will
remain stable and in regulation with no load in addition to the
internal voltage divider. This feature is especially important in
application like CMOS RAM keep-alive. When setting the output
voltage of the SPX3940/41/42, a minimum load of 10mA is
recommended.
If there is more than 10 inches of wire between the input and the
AC filter capacitor or if a battery is used as the input then a 0.1µF
tantalum or aluminum electrolytic capacitor should be placed
from the input to the ground.
Instability can occur if there is stray capacitance to the
SPX3940/41/42 feedback terminal (pin 7). This could cause
more problems when using a higher value of external resistors to
set the output voltage.
This problem can be fixed by adding a 100pF capacitor between
output and feedback and increasing the output capacitor to at least
3.3µF.
ERROR DETECTION COMPARATOR OUTPUT
The Comparator produces a logic low output whenever the
SPX3940/41/42 output falls out of regulation by more than around
5%. This is around 60mV offset divided by the 1.235 reference
voltage. This trip level remains 5% below normal regardless of the
programmed output voltage of the regulator. Figure 1 shows the
timing diagram depicting the ERROR signal and the regulator output
voltage as the SPX3940/41/42 input is ramped up and down. The
ERROR signal becomes low at around 1.3V input, and goes high
around 5V input (input voltage at which Vout = 4.75). Since the
SPX3940/41/42’s dropout voltage is load dependent, the input voltage
trip point (around 5V) will vary with the load current. The output
voltage trip point (approx. 4.75V) does not vary with load.
The error comparator has an open-collector output, which requires an
external pull-up resistor. Depending on the system requirements the
resistor may be returned to 5V output or other supply voltage. In
determining the value of this resistor, note that the output is rated to
sink 400µA, this value adds to battery drain in a low battery
condition. Suggested values range from 100K to 1MΩ. If the output
is unused this resistor is not required.
PROGRAMMING THE OUTPUT VOLTAGE OF
SPX3940/41/42
The SPX3940/41/42 may be pin-strapped for 5V using its internal
voltage divider by tying Pin 1 (output) to Pin 2 (sense) and Pin 7
(feedback) to Pin 6 (5V Tap).

Also, it may be programmed for any output voltage between its
1.235V reference and its 30V maximum rating. As seen in
Figure 2, an external pair of resistors is required.
Refer to the below equation for the programming of the output

. If no load is presented
the I
FB
produces an error of typically 2% in V
OUT
, which may be
eliminated at room temperature by trimming R

. To improve the
accuracy choose the value of R2 = 100k this reduces the error by
0.17% and increases the resistor program current by 12µA. Since
the LP2951 typically draws 60
µA
at no load with Pin 2 open-
circuited this is a small price to pay
REDUCING OUTPUT NOISE
It may be an advantage to reduce the AC noise present at the output.
One way is to reduce the regulator bandwidth by increasing the size of
the output capacitor. This is the only way that noise can be reduced
on the 3 lead SPX3940/41/42 but is relatively inefficient, as
increasing the capacitor from 1µF to 220µF only decreases the noise
from 430µV to 160µV Vrms for a 100kHz bandwidth at 5V output.
Noise could also be reduced fourfold by a bypass capacitor across R
1
,
since it reduces the high frequency gain from 4 to unity. Pick

or choose 0.01µF. When doing this, the output capacitor must be
increased to 3.3µF to maintain stability. These changes reduce the
output noise from 430µV to 100µV Vrms for a 100kHz bandwidth at
5V output. With the bypass capacitor added, noise no longer scales
with output voltage so that improvements are more dramatic at higher
output voltages.
HEAT SINK REQUIREMENTS
Depending on the maximum ambient temperature and maximum
power dissipation a heat sink may be required with the
SPX3940/41/42. The junction temperature range has to be within
the range specified under Absolute Maximum Ratings under all
possible operating conditions. To find out if a heat sink is
required, the maximum power dissipation of the device needs to
be calculated. This is the maximum specific AC voltage that
must be taken into consideration at input. Figure 3 shows the
condition and power dissipation which should be calculated with
the following formula:
