CLM2950 / CLM2951
FEATURES
PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
Calogic’s CLM2950 and CLM2951 are low power voltage
regulators. These devices are an excellent choice for use in
battery-powered applications such as cordless telephones,
radio control systems, and portable computers. The CLM2950
and CLM2951 features very low quiescent current and very
low dropout voltage (Typ. 50mV at light load and 380mV at
100mA). This includes a tight initial tolerance of 0.5% typ.,
extremely good load and line regulation of 0.05% typ. and
very low output temperature coefficient, making the
CLM2950/CLM2951 useful as a low-power voltage reference.
Other key additional features of this device includes higher
output current (150mA), positive transient protection up to 60V
(Load dump), and the ability to survive an unregulated input
voltage transient of -20V below ground (reverse battery).
The error flag output feature is used as power-on reset for
warning of a low output voltage, due to falling voltage input of
batteries. Another feature is the logic-compatible shutdown
input which enables the regulator to be switched on and off.
The CLM2950 is offered in a 3-pin TO-92 package compatible
with other 5 volt regulators. The CLM2951 is also available in
8-pin plastic and SO-8.
The regulator output voltage may be pin-strapped for a 5V,
3.3V and 3.0 volts or programmed from 1.24 volt to 29 volts
with an external pair of resistors.

APPLICATION HINTS
EXTERNAL CAPACITORS
•
The stability of the CLM2950/CLM2951 requires a 1.0µF 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
below -25
o
C a solid tantalum is recommended since the
many aluminum types have electrolytes that freeze at about
-30
o
C. The ESR of about 5Ω or less and resonant
frequency about 500kHz are the most important parameters
in the value of the capacitor. The capacitors value can be
increased without limit.
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 CLM2951
The CLM2951 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
voltage:
V
OUT
= V
REF
×
(1 + R
1
\R
2
) + I
FB
R
1
The V
REF
is 1.235 and I
FB
is the feedback bias current,
nominally -20nA. The minimum recommended load current of
1µA forces an upper limit of 1.2MΩ on value of R
2
. 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
1
.
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 CLM2951 typically draws
60µA 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 CLM2950 but is relatively
inefficient, as increasing the capacitor from 1µF to 220µF only
decreases the noise from 430µV to 160µVrms 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.
C
BYPASS
≅
1/2πR

×
200Hz
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 100µVrms 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 voltages.
•
At lower values of output current, less output capacitance is
required for stability. For currents below 10mA the value of
the capacitor can be reduced to 0.5µF and 0.15µF for 1mA.
More output capacitance is 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 150mA load at 1.23V output.
•
The
CLM2950, unlike other low dropout regulators, will
remain stable and in regulation with no load in addition to
the internal voltage divider. The feature is especially
important in applications like CMOS RAM keep-alive
circuits. When setting the output voltage of the CLM2951
version with external resistors, a minimum load of 1µA 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 1µA tantalum or aluminum electrolytic capacitor
should be placed from the input to the ground.
can occur if there is a stray capacitance to the
CLM2951 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.
•
Instability
ERROR DETECTION COMPARATOR OUTPUT
The Comparator produces a logic low output whenever the
CLM2951 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 CLM2951 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 V
OUT
= 4.75). Since the CLM2951’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.
