The LP3995 linear regulator is designed to meet the
requirements
of
portable
battery-powered
applications, providing an accurate output voltage
with low noise and low quiescent current. Ideally
suited for powering RF and analog devices, this
device can also be used to meet more general circuit
needs in which a fast turnoff is essential.

Active Disable for Fast Turnoff
Thermal-Overload and Short-Circuit Protection
−40 to +125°C Junction Temperature Range for
Operation
For battery-powered applications the low dropout and
low ground current provided by the device allows the
lifetime of the battery to be maximized. The
Enable(/Disable) control function allows the system to
further extend the battery lifetime by reducing the
power consumption to virtually zero. This function
also incorporates an active discharge circuit on the
output for faster device shutdown. Where the fast
turnoff is not required the LP3999 linear regulator is
recommended. The LP3995 also features internal
protection against short-circuit currents and
overtemperature conditions.
The LP3995 is designed to be stable with small 1-µF
ceramic capacitors. The small outline of the LP3995
DSBGA package with the required ceramic capacitors
can realize a system application within minimal board
area. Performance is specified for a −40°C to +125°C
temperature range.

Stresses beyond those listed under Absolute Maximum Ratings may cause permanent damage to the device. These are stress ratings
only, which do not imply functional operation of the device at these or any other conditions beyond those indicated under Recommended
Operating Conditions. Exposure to absolute-maximum-rated conditions for extended periods may affect device reliability.
All voltages are with respect to the potential at the GND pin.
If Military/Aerospace specified devices are required, contact the Texas Instruments Sales Office / Distributors for availability and
specifications.
In applications where high power dissipation and/or poor thermal resistance is present, the maximum ambient temperature may have to
be derated. Maximum ambient temperature (TA(MAX)) is dependant on the maximum operating junction temperature (TJ(MAX-OP)), the
maximum power dissipation (PD(MAX)), and the junction-to-ambient thermal resistance in the application (RθJA). This relationship is given
by: TA(MAX) = TJ(MAX-OP) − (PD(MAX) × RθJA).

8 Detailed Description
8.1 Overview
The LP3995 device is a CMOS voltage regulator with a low input operating voltage tolerance. Key protection
circuits, including thermal-overload and short-circuit protection, are integrated in the device. Using the EN pin,
the device may be controlled to provide a shutdown state, in which negligible supply current is drawn. The
LP3995 is designed to be stable with space-saving ceramic capacitors.

8.3 Feature Description
8.3.1 Enable (EN)
The EN pin is used to control the ON or OFF status of the LP3995. The EN pin voltage must be higher than the
VIH threshold to ensure that the device is fully enabled under all operating conditions.
8.3.2 Fast Turnoff
When the EN pin voltage is lower than the VIL threshold, the output is disabled, and the pull-down circuitry is
activated to discharge the output capacitance.
8.3.3 Low Output Noise
The BYPASS pin is an external connection into the LP3995 band-gap circuitry allows the addition of an external
capacitor to reduce output noise . A fast-charge circuit is controlled by the enable circuitry to reduce start-up
delays. The capacitor on the BYPASS pin also prevents overshoot on the output during startup.
8.3.4 Output Capacitor
The LP3995 requires at least a 1-µF low ESR ceramic capacitor at the OUT pin.
8.3.5 Thermal Overload Protection (TSD)
Thermal shutdown disables the output when the junction temperature rises to approximately 160°C which allows
the device to cool. When the junction temperature cools to approximately 140°C, the output circuitry
automatically enables. Based on power dissipation, thermal resistance, and ambient temperature, the thermal
protection circuit may cycle on and off. This thermal cycling limits the dissipation of the regulator and protects it
from damage as a result of overheating. The thermal shutdown circuitry of the LP3995 has been designed to
protect against temporary thermal overload conditions. The thermal shutdown circuitry is not intended to replace
proper heat-sinking. Continuously running the LP3995 device into thermal shutdown may degrade device
reliability.

8.4 Device Functional Modes
8.4.1 Enable Operation
The LP3995 may be switched ON or OFF by a logic input at the EN pin, VEN. A high voltage at this pin turns the
device on. When the EN pin is low, the regulator output is off and the device typically consumes 3 nA. If the
application does not require the shutdown feature, the EN pin should be tied to VIN to keep the regulator output
permanently on. To ensure proper operation, the signal source used to drive the EN input must be able to swing
above and below the specified turn-on/off voltage thresholds listed in Electrical Characteristics under VIL and VIH.

9 Application and Implementation
NOTE
Information in the following applications sections is not part of the TI component
specification, and TI does not warrant its accuracy or completeness. TI’s customers are
responsible for determining suitability of components for their purposes. Customers should
validate and test their design implementation to confirm system functionality.
9.1 Application Information
The LP3995 can provide 150-mA output current with 2.5-V to 6-V input. It is stable with a 1-μF ceramic output
capacitor. An optional external bypass capacitor reduces the output noise without slowing down the load
transient response. Typical output noise is 25 μVRMS at frequencies from 10 Hz to 100 kHz. Typical power supply
rejection is 60 dB at 1 kHz.

9.2.2 Detailed Design Procedure
9.2.2.1 External Capacitors
In common with most regulators, the LP3995 requires external capacitors to ensure stable operation. The
LP3995 is specifically designed for portable applications requiring minimum board space and smallest
components. These capacitors must be correctly selected for good performance.
9.2.2.2 Input Capacitor
An input capacitor is required for stability. It is recommended that a 1-µF capacitor be connected between the
LP3995 IN pin and ground (this capacitance value may be increased without limit).
This capacitor must be located a distance of not more than 1 cm from the IN pin and returned to a clean
analogue ground. Any good quality ceramic, tantalum, or film capacitor may be used at the input.

NOTE
Tantalum capacitors can suffer catastrophic failures due to surge current when connected
to a low-impedance source of power (like a battery or a very large capacitor). If a tantalum
capacitor is used at the input, it must be ensured by the manufacturer to have a surge
current rating sufficient for the application.
There are no requirements for the equivalent series resistance (ESR) on the input capacitor, but tolerance and
temperature coefficient must be considered when selecting the capacitor to ensure the capacitance remains ≅ 1
µF over the entire operating temperature range.
9.2.2.3 Output Capacitor
The LP3995 is designed specifically to work with very small ceramic output capacitors. A ceramic capacitor
(dielectric types Z5U, Y5V or X7R) in the 1-µF to 10-µF range, and with ESR between 5 mΩ to 500 mΩ, is
suitable in the LP3995 application circuit.
For this device the output capacitor should be connected between the OUT pin and ground.
It may also be possible to use tantalum or film capacitors at the device output, VOUT, but these are not as
attractive for reasons of size and cost (see Capacitor Characteristics).
The output capacitor must meet the requirement for the minimum value of capacitance and also have an ESR
value that is within the range 5 mΩ to 500 mΩ for stability.

The capacitor tolerance should be ±30% or better over the temperature range. The recommended capacitor type is X7R however,
dependant on the application X5R, Y5V, and Z5U can also be used.
9.2.2.4 No-Load Stability
The LP3995 remains stable and in regulation with no external load. This is an important consideration in some
circuits, for example CMOS RAM keep-alive applications.
9.2.2.5 Capacitor Characteristics
The LP3995 is designed to work with ceramic capacitors on the output to take advantage of the benefits they
offer. For capacitance values in the range of 1 µF to 4.7 µF, ceramic capacitors are the smallest, least expensive
and have the lowest ESR values, thus making them best for eliminating high frequency noise. The ESR of a
typical 1-µF ceramic capacitor is in the range of 20 mΩ to 40 mΩ, which easily meets the ESR requirement for
stability for the LP3995.
The temperature performance of ceramic capacitors varies by type. Most large value ceramic capacitors (≥
2.2 µF) are manufactured with Z5U or Y5V temperature characteristics, which results in the capacitance
dropping by more than 50% as the temperature goes from 25°C to +85°C.
A better choice for temperature coefficient in a ceramic capacitor is X7R. This type of capacitor is the most stable
and holds the capacitance within ±15% over the temperature range. Tantalum capacitors are less desirable than
ceramic for use as output capacitors because they are more expensive when comparing equivalent capacitance
and voltage ratings in the 1-µF to 4.7-µF range.
Another important consideration is that tantalum capacitors have higher ESR values than equivalent size
ceramics. This means that while it may be possible to find a tantalum capacitor with an ESR value within the
stable range, it would have to be larger in capacitance (which means bigger and more costly) than a ceramic
capacitor with the same ESR value. It should also be noted that the ESR of a typical tantalum increases about
2:1 as the temperature goes from 25°C down to −40°C, so some guard band must be allowed.

9.2.2.6 Noise Bypass Capacitor
A bypass capacitor should be connected between the BYPASS pin and ground to significantly reduce the noise
at the regulator output. This device pin connects directly to a high impedance node within the bandgap reference
circuitry. Any significant loading on this node causes a change on the regulated output voltage. For this reason,
DC leakage current through this pin must be kept as low as possible for best output voltage accuracy.
The use of a 0.01-µF bypass capacitor is strongly recommended to prevent overshoot on the output during startup.
The types of capacitors best suited for the noise bypass capacitor are ceramic and film. High quality ceramic
capacitors with NPO or COG dielectric typically have very low leakage. Polypropolene and polycarbonate film
capacitors are available in small surface-mount packages and typically have extremely low leakage current.
Unlike many other LDOs, the addition of a noise reduction capacitor does not effect the transient response of the
device.
9.2.2.7 Fast Turnoff and Turnon
The controlled switch-off feature of the device provides a fast turn off by discharging the output capacitor via an
internal FET device. This discharge is current limited by the RDSon of this switch. Fast turnon is ensured by
control circuitry within the reference block allowing a very fast ramp of the output voltage to reach the target
voltage.
9.2.2.8 Power Dissipation
The permissible power dissipation for any package is a measure of the capability of the device to pass heat from
the power source, the junctions of the device, to the ultimate heat sink, the ambient environment. Thus the power
dissipation is dependent on the ambient temperature and the thermal resistance across the various interfaces
between the die and ambient air.
Equation 1 restates the equation given in note 5 of Absolute Maximum Ratings:
TA(MAX) = TJ(MAX-OP) − (PD(MAX) × RθJA)
(1)
The allowable power dissipation for the device in a given package can be calculated:
PD = TJ(MAX) – TA / RθJA
(2)
With an RθJA = 255°C/W, the device in the DSBGA package returns a value of 392 mW with a maximum junction
temperature of 125°C.
With an RθJA = 88°C/W, the device in the WSON package returns a value of 1.136 mW with a maximum junction
temperature of 125°C.
The actual power dissipation across the device can be represented by Equation 3:
PD = (VIN − VOUT) × IOUT
(3)
This establishes the relationship between the power dissipation allowed due to thermal consideration, the voltage
drop across the device, and the continuous current capability of the device. Equation 2 and Equation 3 should be
used to determine the optimum operating conditions for the device in the application.
This thermal resistance (RθJA) is highly dependent on the heat-spreading capability of the particular PCB design,
and therefore varies according to the total copper area, copper weight, and location of the planes. The RθJA
recorded in Thermal Information is determined by the specific EIA/JEDEC JESD51-7 standard for PCB and
copper-spreading area and is to be used only as a relative measure of package thermal performance. For a welldesigned thermal layout, RθJA is actually the sum of the package junction-to-case (bottom) thermal resistance
(RθJCbot) plus the thermal resistance contribution by the PCB copper area acting as a heatsink.
9.2.2.9 Estimating Junction Temperature
The EIA/JEDEC standard recommends the use of psi (Ψ) thermal characteristics to estimate the junction
temperatures of surface mount devices on a typical PCB board application. These characteristics are not true
thermal resistance values, but rather package specific thermal characteristics that offer practical and relative
means of estimating junction temperatures. These psi metrics are determined to be significantly independent of
copper-spreading area. The key thermal characteristics (ΨJT and ΨJB) are given in Thermal Information and are
used in accordance with Equation 4 or Equation 5.

10 Power Supply Recommendations
The LP3995 is designed to operate from an input voltage supply range from 2.5 V to 6 V.
11 Layout
11.1 Layout Guidelines
The dynamic performance of the LP3995 is dependant on the layout of the PCB. PCB layout practices that are
adequate for typical LDOs may degrade the PSRR, noise, or transient performance of the LP3995. Best
performance is achieved by placing CIN and COUT on the same side of the PCB as the LP3995, and as close as
is practical to the package. The ground connections for CIN and COUT should be back to the LP3995 ground pin
using as wide, and as short, of a copper trace as is practical. Connections using long trace lengths, narrow trace
widths, and/or connections through vias should be avoided. These add parasitic inductances and resistance that
result in inferior performance especially during transient conditions.

11.3 DSBGA Mounting
The DSBGA package requires specific mounting techniques that are detailed in TI's AN-1112 Application Report
(SNVA009). Referring to the section Surface Mount Assembly Considerations, it should be noted that the pad
style which must be used with the 5-pin package is NSMD (non-solder mask defined) type.
For best results during assembly, alignment ordinals on the PC board may be used to facilitate placement of the
DSBGA device.
11.4 DSBGA Light Sensitivity
Exposing the DSBGA device to direct sunlight may cause mis-operation of the device. Light sources such as
halogen lamps can affect electrical performance if they are situated in proximity to the device.
The wavelengths that have the most detrimental effect are reds and infra-reds, which means that the fluorescent
lighting used inside most buildings has little effect on performance. Tests carried out on a DSBGA test board
showed a negligible effect on the regulated output voltage when brought within 1 cm of a fluorescent lamp. A
deviation of less than 0.1% from nominal output voltage was observed.
