Application Description
The LSP2155 family of low-dropout regulators have several features that allow them to apply to a
wide range of applications. The family operates with very low input voltage (1.45V) and low dropout
voltage (see Electrical Characteristics Table), making it an efficient stand-alone power supply or
post regulator for battery or switch mode power supplies. The 1A output current make the
LSP2155 family suitable for powering many microprocessors and FPGA supplies. The LSP2155
family also has low output noise (typically 40uVRMS with 2.2uF output capacitor), making it ideal
for use in telecom equipment.
External Capacitor Requirement
A 2.2uF or larger ceramic input bypass capacitor, connected between VIN and GND and located
close to the LSP2155, is required for stability. A 1.0uF minimum value capacitor from VOUT to
GND is also required. To improve transient response, noise rejection, and ripple rejection, an
additional 10uF or larger, low ESR capacitor is recommended at the output. A higher-value, low
ESR output capacitor may be necessary if large, fast-rise-time load transients are anticipated and
the device is located several inches from the power source, especially if the minimum input voltage
of 1.45 V is used.
Regulator Protection
The LSP2155 features internal current limiting, thermal protection and short circuit protection.
During normal operation, the LSP2155 limits output current to about 2A. When current limiting
LSP2155

engages, the output voltage scales back linearly until the over current condition ends. While
current limiting is designed to prevent gross device failure, care should be taken not to exceed the
power dissipation ratings of the package. If the temperature of the device exceeds 160°C, thermal-
protection circuitry will shut down. Once the device has cooled down to approximately 45°C below
the high temp trip point, regulator operation resumes. The short circuit current of the LSP2155 is
about 1A when its output pin is shorted to ground.
Thermal Information
The amount of heat that an LDO linear regulator generates is: D = (V
IN
-V
OUT
) x I
OUT
. All integrated
circuits have a maximum allowable junction temperature (T
J
max) above which normal operation is
not assured. A system designer must design the operating environment so that the operating
junction temperature (T
J
) does not exceed the maximum junction temperature (T
J
max). The two
main environmental variables that a designer can use to improve thermal performance are air flow
and external heat-sink. The purpose of this information is to aid the designer in determining the
proper operating environment for a linear regulator that is operating at a specific power level.
In general, the maximum expected power (P
D
(max)) consumed by a linear regulator is computed
as:
P
D
(MAX) = (V
IN
(avg)- V
OUT
(avg)) x I
OUT
(avg) x I
Q
)
Where
V
IN
(avg) is the average input voltage.
V
OUT
(avg) is the average output voltage.
I
OUT
(avg) is the average output current.
I
Q
is the quiescent current.
For most LDO regulators, the quiescent current is insignificant compared to the average output
current; therefore, the term V
IN
(avg) x I
Q
can be neglected. The operating junction temperature is
computed by adding the ambient temperature (T
A
) and the increase in temperature due to the
regulator's power dissipation. The temperature rise is computed by multiplying the maximum
expected power dissipation by the sum of the thermal resistances between the junction and the
case (R
ΘJC
), the case to heat-sink (R
ΘCS
), and the heat-sink to ambient (R
ΘSA
). Thermal resistances
are measures of how effectively an object dissipates heat. Typically, the larger the device, the
more surface area available for power dissipation, so that the object's thermal resistance will be
lower.
ADJ VERSION
The adjustable version uses external feedback resistors to generate an output voltage anywhere
from 1.45V to 5.0V. V
ADJ
is trimmed to 0.9V and VOUT is given by the equation:
