FEATURES
DESCRIPTION

•
•
•
•
•
The LM140K monolithic 3-terminal positive voltage
regulator employs internal current-limiting, thermal
shutdown and safe-area compensation, making them
essentially indestructible. If adequate heat sinking is
provided, they can deliver over 1.0A output current.
They are intended as fixed voltage regulators in a
wide range of applications including local (on-card)
regulation for elimination of noise and distribution
problems associated with single-point regulation. In
addition to use as fixed voltage regulators, these
devices can be used with external components to
obtain adjustable output voltages and currents.

Considerable effort was expended to make the entire
series of regulators easy to use and minimize the
number of external components. It is not necessary to
bypass the output, although this does improve
transient response. Input bypassing is needed only if
the regulator is located far from the filter capacitor of
the power supply.
The LM140K is available in 5V, 12V and 15V options
in the steel TO-3 power package.
Typical Applications
*Required if the regulator is located far from
the power supply filter.
**Although no output capacitor is needed
for stability, it does help transient response.
(If needed, use 0.1 μF, ceramic disc).
VOUT = 5V + (5V/R1 + IQ) R2 5V/R1 > 3 IQ,
load regulation (Lr) ≈ [(R1 + R2)/R1] (Lr of
LM140K-5.0).

The maximum allowable power dissipation at any ambient temperature is a function of the maximum junction temperature for operation
(TJMAX = 125°C or 150°C), the junction-to-ambient thermal resistance (θJA), and the ambient temperature (TA). PDMAX = (TJMAX −
TA)/θJA. If this dissipation is exceeded, the die temperature will rise above TJMAX and the electrical specifications do not apply. If the die
temperature rises above 150°C, the device will go into thermal shutdown. For the TO-3 package (NDS), the junction-to-ambient thermal
resistance (θJA) is 39°C/W. When using a heatsink, θJA is the sum of the 4°C/W junction-to-case thermal resistance (θJC) of the TO-3
package and the case-to-ambient thermal resistance of the heatsink.
ESD rating is based on the human body model, 100 pF discharged through 1.5 kΩ.

All characteristics are measured with a 0.22 μF capacitor from input to ground and a 0.1 μF capacitor from output to ground. All
characteristics except noise voltage and ripple rejection ratio are measured using pulse techniques (tw ≤ 10 ms, duty cycle ≤ 5%).
Output voltage changes due to changes in internal temperature must be taken into account separately.

APPLICATION HINTS
The LM140K is designed with thermal protection, output short-circuit protection and output transistor safe area
protection. However, as with any IC regulator, it becomes necessary to take precautions to assure that the
regulator is not inadvertently damaged. The following describes possible misapplications and methods to prevent
damage to the regulator.
SHORTING THE REGULATOR INPUT
When using large capacitors at the output of these regulators, a protection diode connected input to output
(Figure 17) may be required if the input is shorted to ground. Without the protection diode, an input short will
cause the input to rapidly approach ground potential, while the output remains near the initial VOUTbecause of the
stored charge in the large output capacitor. The capacitor will then discharge through a large internal input to
output diode and parasitic transistors. If the energy released by the capacitor is large enough, this diode, low
current metal and the regulator will be destroyed. The fast diode in Figure 17 will shunt most of the capacitors
discharge current around the regulator. Generally no protection diode is required for values of output capacitance
≤ 10 μF.
RAISING THE OUTPUT VOLTAGE ABOVE THE INPUT VOLTAGE
Since the output of the device does not sink current, forcing the output high can cause damage to internal low
current paths in a manner similar to that just described in the “Shorting the Regulator Input” section.
REGULATOR FLOATING GROUND (Figure 18)
When the ground pin alone becomes disconnected, the output approaches the unregulated input, causing
possible damage to other circuits connected to VOUT. If ground is reconnected with power “ON”, damage may
also occur to the regulator. This fault is most likely to occur when plugging in regulators or modules with on card
regulators into powered up sockets. Power should be turned off first, thermal limit ceases operating, or ground
should be connected first if power must be left on.
TRANSIENT VOLTAGES
If transients exceed the maximum rated input voltage of the device, or reach more than 0.8V below ground and
have sufficient energy, they will damage the regulator. The solution is to use a large input capacitor, a series
input breakdown diode, a choke, a transient suppressor or a combination of these.

Figure 19. Transients
When a value for θ(H–A) is found using the equation shown, a heatsink must be selected that has a value that is
less than or equal to this number.
θ(H–A) is specified numerically by the heatsink manufacturer in this catalog, or shown in a curve that plots
temperature rise vs power dissipation for the heatsink.
