DESCRIPTION/ORDERING
INFORMATION
The LM2940 positive-voltage regulator features the
ability to source 1 A of output current, with a typical
dropout voltage of 0.385 V and a maximum of
800 mV over the entire temperature range.
Furthermore, a quiescent current reduction circuit
has been included, which reduces the ground current
when the differential between the input voltage and
the output voltage exceeds approximately 3 V. The
quiescent current with 1 A of output current and an
input-output differential of 5 V is, therefore, only
30 mA. Higher quiescent currents only exist when
the regulator is in the dropout mode (VI – VO ≤ 3 V).

Also designed for vehicular applications, the LM2940
and all regulated circuitry are protected from reverse
battery installations or two-battery jumps. During line
transients, such as load dump when the input
voltage can momentarily exceed the specified
maximum
operating
voltage,
the
regulator
automatically shuts down to protect both the internal
circuits and the load. The LM2940 is not harmed by
temporary mirror-image insertion. Familiar regulator
features, such as short-circuit and thermal-overload
protection, also are provided.
Please be aware that an important notice concerning availability, standard warranty, and use in critical applications of Texas
Instruments semiconductor products and disclaimers thereto appears at the end of this data sheet.
PRODUCTION DATA information is current as of publication date.
Products conform to specifications per the terms of the Texas
Instruments standard warranty. Production processing does not
necessarily include testing of all parameters.

Stresses beyond those listed under Absolute Maximum Ratings may cause permanent damage to the device. These are stress ratings
only, and functional operation of the device at these or any other conditions beyond those indicated under Recommended Operating
Conditions is not implied. Exposure to absolute-maximum-rated conditions for extended periods may affect device reliability.
If load is returned to a negative power supply, the output must be diode clamped to GND.
Maximum power dissipation is a function of TJ(max), θJA, and TA. The maximum allowable power dissipation at any allowable ambient
temperature is PD = (TJ(max) – TA)/θJA. Operating at the absolute maximum TJ of 150°C can affect reliability.
The package thermal impedance is calculated in accordance with JESD 51-7.

A.
Required in regulator if located far from power-supply filter
B.
CO must be at least 22 µF to maintain stability. May be increased without bound to maintain regulation during
transients. Locate as close as possible to the regulator. This capacitor must be rated over the same operating
temperature range as the regulator, and proper ESR is critical.
Figure 1. Typical Application Circuit
External Capacitors
The output capacitor is critical to maintaining regulator stability and must meet the required conditions for both
equivalent series resistance (ESR) and minimum capacitance.
Minimum Capacitance
The minimum output capacitance required to maintain stability is 22 µF (this value may be increased without
limit). Larger values of output capacitance give improved transient response.
ESR Limits
The ESR of the output capacitor causes loop instability if it is too high or too low. The acceptable range of ESR
plotted versus load current is shown in Typical Characteristics. It is essential that the output capacitor meet
these requirements, or oscillations can result.
It is important to note that for most capacitors, ESR is specified only at room temperature. However, the
designer must ensure that the ESR stays inside the limits shown over the entire operating range for the design.
For aluminum electrolytic capacitors, ESR can increase by about 30 times as the temperature is reduced from
25°C to –40°C. This type of capacitor is not well suited for low-temperature operation.
Solid tantalum capacitors have a more stable ESR over temperature, but are more expensive than aluminum
electrolytics. A cost-effective approach sometimes used is to parallel an aluminum electrolytic with a solid
tantalum, with the total capacitance split about 75%/25% with the aluminum being the larger value.
ESR – Equivalent Series Resistance – Ω
If two capacitors are paralleled, the effective ESR is the parallel of the two individual values. The flatter ESR or
the tantalum keeps the effective ESR from rising as quickly at low temperatures.

Heatsinking
A heatsink may be required, depending on the maximum power dissipation and maximum ambient temperature
of the application. Under all possible operating conditions, the junction temperature must be within the range
specified under absolute maximum ratings.
To determine if a heatsink is required, the power dissipated by the regulator, PD, must be calculated.
Figure 3 shows the voltages and currents that are present in the circuit, as well as the formula for calculating the
power dissipated in the regulator.

The next parameter that must be calculated is the maximum allowable temperature rise, TR(max). This is
calculated using the formula:
TR(max) = TJ(max) – TA(max)
Where
TJ(max) is the maximum allowable junction temperature, which is 125°C for commercial parts.
TA(max) is the maximum ambient temperature encountered in the application.
Using the calculated valued for TR(max) and PD, the maximum allowable value for the junction-to-ambient
thermal resistance, θJA, now can be found:
θJA = TR(max) ÷ PD
NOTE:
If the maximum allowable value for θJA is found to be ≥53°C/W for the TO-220
package, ≥80°C/W for the TO-263 package, or ≥174°C/W for the SOT-223 package,
no heatsink is needed, because the package alone dissipates enough heat to satisfy
these requirements.
If the calculated value for θJA falls below these limits, a heatsink is required.

APPLICATION INFORMATION (continued)
Heatsinking TO-220 Package Parts
The SOT-223 can be attached to a typical heatsink or secured to a copper plane on a PC board. If a copper
plane is use, the values of θJA are the same as shown in under Heatsinking TO-263 and SOT-223 Package
Parts.
If a manufactured heatsink is selected, the value of heatsink-to-ambient thermal resistance, θHA, must be
calculated:
θHA = θJA – θCH – θJC
Where
θJC is defined as the thermal resistance from the junction to the surface of the case. A value of 3°C/W can
be assumed for θJC for this calculation.
θCH is defined as the thermal resistance between the case and the surface of the heatsink. The value of θCH
varies from about 1.5°C/W to about 2.5°C/W, depending on the method of attachment, insulator, etc. If the
exact value is unknown, 2°C/W should be assumed for θCH.
Heatsinking TO-263 and SOT-223 Package Parts
Both the TO-263 and SOT-223 packages use a copper plane on the PCB and the PCB itself as a heatsink. To
optimize the heatsinking ability of the plane and PCB, solder the tab of the package to the plane.

Figure 4 shows the measured values of θJA for the TO-263 for different copper area sizes using a typical PCB
with 1-oz copper and no solder mask over the copper area used for heatsinking.

Figure 4. θJA vs Copper (1 oz) Area for TO-263 Package
As shown in Figure 4, increasing the copper area beyond 1 in2 produces very little improvement. It should also
be observed that the minimum value of θJA for the TO-263 package mounted to a PCB is 32°C/W.
As a design aid, Figure 5 shows the maximum allowable power dissipation compared to ambient temperature for
the TO-263 device, assuming θJA is 35°C/W and the maximum junction temperature is 125°C.
