DMOS
250mA Low-Dropout Regulator
FEATURES
DESCRIPTION
● NEW DMOS TOPOLOGY:
Ultra Low Dropout Voltage:
150mV typ at 250mA
Output Capacitor not Required for Stability
The REG102 is a family of low-noise, low-dropout linear
regulators with low ground pin current. The new DMOS
topology provides significant improvement over previous
designs, including low-dropout voltage (only 150mV typ at
full load), and better transient performance. In addition, no
output capacitor is required for stability, unlike conventional
low-dropout regulators that are difficult to compensate and
require expensive low ESR capacitors greater than 1µF.

Typical ground pin current is only 600µA (at IOUT = 250mA)
and drops to 10nA when not enabled. Unlike regulators with
PNP pass devices, quiescent current remains relatively constant over load variations and under dropout conditions.
The REG102 has very low output noise (typically 28µVrms
for VOUT = 3.3V with CNR = 0.01µF), making it ideal for use
in portable communications equipment. On-chip trimming
results in high output voltage accuracy. Accuracy is maintained over temperature, line, and load variations. Key parameters are tested over the specified temperature range
(–40°C to +85°C).
The REG102 is well protected—internal circuitry provides a
current limit that protects the load from damage; furthermore,
thermal protection circuitry keeps the chip from being damaged by excessive temperature. The REG102 is available in
SOT23-5, SOT223-5, and SO-8 packages.

This integrated circuit can be damaged by ESD. Texas
Instruments recommends that all integrated circuits be handled
with appropriate precautions. Failure to observe proper handling and installation procedures can cause damage.
ESD damage can range from subtle performance degradation to complete device failure. Precision integrated circuits
may be more susceptible to damage because very small
parametric changes could cause the device not to meet its
published specifications.
NOTE: (1) Stresses above these ratings may cause permanent damage.
Exposure to absolute maximum conditions for extended periods may degrade
device reliability.

NOTES: (1) The REG102 does not require a minimum output capacitor for stability, however, transient response can be improved with proper capacitor selection.
(2) Dropout voltage is defined as the input voltage minus the output voltage that produces a 2% change in the output voltage from the value at VIN = VOUT
+ 1V at fixed load.
(3) Current limit is the output current that produces a 10% change in output voltage from VIN = VOUT + 1V and IOUT = 5mA.
(4) For VENABLE > 6.5V, see typical characteristic IENABLE vs VENABLE.
(5) The REG102 no longer regulates when VIN < VOUT + VDROP (MAX). In dropout, the impedance from VIN to VOUT is typically less than 1Ω at TJ = +25°C.

BASIC OPERATION
The REG102 series of LDO (low dropout) linear regulators
offers a wide selection of fixed output voltage versions and
an adjustable output version as well. The REG102 belongs
to a family of new generation LDO regulators that use a
DMOS pass transistor to achieve ultra low-dropout performance and freedom from output capacitor constraints. Ground
pin current remains under 1mA over all line, load, and
temperature conditions. All versions have thermal and overcurrent protection, including foldback current limit.
The REG102 does not require an output capacitor for regulator
stability and is stable over most output currents and with almost
any value and type of output capacitor up to 10µF or more. For
applications where the regulator output current drops below
several milliamps, stability can be enhanced by adding a 1kΩ
to 2kΩ load resistor, using capacitance values smaller than
10µF, or keeping the effective series resistance greater than
0.05Ω including the capacitor ESR and parasitic resistance in
printed circuit board traces, solder joints, and sockets.

the regulator from damage under all load conditions. A
characteristic of VOUT versus IOUT is given in Figure 3 and in
the Typical Characteristics section.
Although an input capacitor is not required, it is a good
standard analog design practice to connect a 0.1µF low ESR
capacitor across the input supply voltage. This is recommended to counteract reactive input sources and improve
ripple rejection by reducing input voltage ripple.

INTERNAL CURRENT LIMIT

The REG102 internal current limit has a typical value of
400mA. A foldback feature limits the short-circuit current to a
typical short-circuit value of 150mA, which helps to protect

OUTPUT NOISE
A precision bandgap reference is used to generate the
internal reference voltage, VREF. This reference is the dominant noise source within the REG102 and generates approximately 29µVrms in the 10Hz to 100kHz bandwidth at the
reference output. The regulator control loop gains up the
reference noise, so that the noise voltage of the regulator is
approximately given by:
VN = 29µVrms
V

= 29µVrms • OUT

As the value of VREF is 1.26V, this relationship reduces to:

Connecting a capacitor, CNR, from the Noise Reduction (NR)
pin to ground forms a low-pass filter for the voltage reference. Adding CNR (as shown in Figure 4) forms a low-pass
filter for the voltage reference. For CNR = 10nF, the total noise
in the 10Hz to 100kHz bandwidth is reduced by approximately a factor of 2.8 for VOUT = 3.3V. This noise reduction
effect is shown in Figure 5 and as RMS Noise Voltage vs CNR
in the Typical Characteristics section.

The Enable pin is active high and compatible with standard
TTL-CMOS levels. Inputs below 0.5V (max) turn the regulator off and all circuitry is disabled. Under this condition,
ground pin current drops to approximately 10nA. When not
used, the Enable pin can be connected to VIN. When a pullup resistor is used, and operation below 1.8V is required, use
pull-up resistor values below 50kΩ.

FIGURE 5. Output Noise versus Noise Reduction Capacitor.
Noise can be further reduced by carefully choosing an output
capacitor, COUT. Best overall noise performance is achieved
with very low (< 0.22µF) or very high (> 2.2µF) values of COUT
(see the RMS Noise Voltage vs COUT typical characteristic).
The REG102 uses an internal charge pump to develop an
internal supply voltage sufficient to drive the gate of the
DMOS pass element above VIN. The charge-pump switching
noise (nominal switching frequency = 2MHz) is not measurable at the output of the regulator over most values of IOUT
and COUT.
The REG102 adjustable version does not have the noisereduction pin available; however, the adjust pin is the summing junction of the error amplifier. A capacitor, CFB, connected from the output to the adjust pin can reduce both the
output noise and the peak error from a load transient (see the
typical characteristics for output noise performance).

DROPOUT VOLTAGE
The REG102 uses an N-channel DMOS as the pass element.
When (VIN – VOUT) is less than the drop-out voltage (VDROP),
the DMOS pass device behaves like a resistor; therefore, for
low values of (VIN – VOUT), the regulator input-to-output
resistance is the RdsON of the DMOS pass element (typically
600mΩ). For static (DC) loads, the REG102 typically maintains regulation down to a (VIN – VOUT) voltage drop of 150mV
at full rated output current. In Figure 6, the bottom line (DC
dropout) shows the minimum VIN to VOUT voltage drop required to prevent dropout under DC load conditions.
For large step changes in load current, the REG102 requires
a larger voltage drop across it to avoid degraded transient
response. The boundary of this transient drop-out region is
shown as the top line in Figure 6 and values of VIN to VOUT
voltage drop above this line insure normal transient response.

FIGURE 6. Transient and DC Dropout.
In the transient dropout region between DC and Transient,
transient response recovery time increases. The time required
to recover from a load transient is a function of both the
magnitude and rate of the step change in load current and the
available headroom VIN to VOUT voltage drop. Under worst-
case conditions (full-scale load change with (VIN – VOUT)
voltage drop close to DC dropout levels), the REG102 can
take several hundred microseconds to re-enter the specified
window of regulation.
TRANSIENT RESPONSE
The REG102 response to transient line and load conditions
improves at lower output voltages. The addition of a capacitor
(nominal value 0.47µF) from the output pin to ground can
improve the transient response. In the adjustable version, the
addition of a capacitor, CFB (nominal value 10nF), from the
output to the adjust pin can also improve the transient
response.
THERMAL PROTECTION
Power dissipated within the REG102 can cause the junction
temperature to rise. The REG102 has thermal shutdown
circuitry that protects the regulator from damage which disables the output when the junction temperature reaches
approximately 160°C, allowing the device to cool. When the
junction temperature cools to approximately 140°C, the output circuitry is again enabled. Depending on various conditions, the thermal protection circuit can cycle on and off. This
limits the dissipation of the regulator, but can have an
undesirable effect on the load.
Any tendency to activate the thermal protection circuit indicates excessive power dissipation or an inadequate heat
sink. For reliable operation, junction temperature must be
limited to 125°C, maximum. To estimate the margin of safety
in a complete design (including heat sink), increase the
ambient temperature until the thermal protection is triggered;
use worst-case loads and signal conditions. For good reliability, thermal protection should trigger more than 35°C above
the maximum expected ambient condition of the application.
This produces a worst-case junction temperature of 125°C at
the highest expected ambient temperature and worst-case
load.
The internal protection circuitry of the REG102 is designed to
protect against overload conditions and is not intended to
replace proper heat sinking. Continuously running the REG102
into thermal shutdown will degrade reliability.

POWER DISSIPATION
The REG102 is available in three different package configurations. The ability to remove heat from the die is different for
each package type and, therefore, presents different considerations in the printed circuit board (PCB) layout. The PCB
area around the device that is free of other components
moves the heat from the device to the ambient air. Although
it is difficult to impossible to quantify all of the variables in a
thermal design of this type, performance data for several
simplified configurations are shown in Figure 7. In all cases,
the PCB copper area is bare copper (free of solder resist
mask), not solder plated, and are for 1-ounce copper. Using
heavier copper will increase the effectiveness in moving the
heat from the device. In those examples where there is
copper on both sides of the PCB, no connection has been
provided between the two sides. The addition of plated
through holes will improve the heat sink effectiveness.
Power dissipation depends on input voltage, load conditions,
and duty cycle and is equal to the product of the average
output current times the voltage across the output element,
VIN to VOUT voltage drop.
(3)
Power dissipation can be minimized by using the lowest
possible input voltage necessary to assure the required
output voltage.
REGULATOR MOUNTING
The tab of the SOT-223 package is electrically connected to
ground. For best thermal performance, this tab must be
soldered directly to a circuit-board copper area. Increasing
the copper area improves heat dissipation, as shown in
Figure 8.
Although the tab of the SOT-223 is electrical ground, it is not
intended to carry current. The copper pad that acts as a heat
sink should be isolated from the rest of the circuit to prevent
current flow through the device from the tab to the ground
pin. Solder pad footprint recommendations for the various
REG102 devices are presented in Application Bulletin Solder
Pad Recommendations for Surface-Mount Devices
(SBFA015), available from the Texas Instruments web site
(www.ti.com).
