Description
The GM6603 series of positive adjustable and fixed regulators are designed to provide 3.0A output with low dropout voltage performance. On-chip trimming adjusts the reference voltage to 2.0%. Put them to work in post regulators or microprocessor power supplies where low voltage operation and fast transient response are required. Device includes over-current protection and thermal shutdown protection as well. Pin-to-pin compatible with the LT1085 family of regulators, the GM6603's are available in TO-252, TO-220 and surface-mount TO-263 packages.

APPLICATION INFORMATION
The GM6603 series linear regulators provide fixed and adjustable output voltages at currents up to 3.0A. These regulators are protected against overcurrent conditions and include thermal shutdown protection. The GM6603's have a composite PNP-PN output transistor and require an output capacitor for stability. A detailed procedure for selecting this capacitor follows. Protection Diodes When large external capacitors are used with most linear regulator it is wise to add protection diodes. If the input voltage of the regulator is shorted, the output capacitor will discharge into the output of the regulator. The discharge current depends on the value of capacitor, output voltage and rate at which VIN drops.

Stability Considerations
The output compensation capacitor helps to determine three main characteristics of a linear regulator's performance: start-up delay, load transient response, and loop stability. The capacitor value and type is based on cost, availability, size and temperature constraints. A tantalum or aluminum electrolytic capacitor is preferred, as a film or ceramic capacitor with almost zero ESR can cause instability. An aluminum electrolytic capacitor is the least expensive type, but when the circuit operates at low temperatures, both the value and ESR of the capacitor will vary widely. For optimum performance over the full operating temperature range, a tantalum capacitor is best. A 22µF tantalum capacitor will work fine in most applications, but with high current regulators such as the GM6603 higher capacitance values will improve the transient response and stability. Most applications for the GM6603's involve large changes in load current, so the output capacitor must supply instantaneous load current. The ESR of the output capacitor causes an immediate drop in output voltage given by:

In microprocessor applications an output capacitor network of several tantalum and ceramic capacitors in parallel is commonly used. This reduces overall ESR and minimizes the instantaneous output voltage drop under transient load conditions. The output capacitor network should be placed as close to the load as possible for
is through a large junction, and protection diodes are normally not needed. However, if the regulator is used with large output capacitance values and the input voltage is instantaneously shorted to ground, damage can occur. In this case, a diode connected as shown above in Figure 1.

Output Voltage Sensing
The GM6603 series are three terminal regulators, so they cannot provide true remote load sensing. Load regulation is limited by the resistance of the conductors connecting the regulator to the load. For best results the GM6603 should be connected as shown in Figure 2.
VIN VIN VOUT RC Conductor Parasitic Resistance RLOAD
The thermal characteristics of an IC depend four factors: 1. Maximum Ambient Temperature TA (°C) 2. Power Dissipation PD (Watts) 3. Maximum Junction Temperature TJ (°C) 4. Thermal Resistance Junction to ambient RQJA (°C/W) These relationship of these four factors is expressed by equation (1):
TJ = TA + PD X RQJA
Maximum ambient temperature and power dissipation are determined by the design while the maximum junction temperature and thermal resistance depend on the manufacturer and the package type. The maximum power dissipation for a regulator is expressed by equation (2): PD(max)={VIN(max)-VOUT(min)} IOUT(max) + VIN(max)IQ where: VIN(max) is the maximum input voltage, VOUT(min) is the minimum output voltage, IOUT(max) is the maximum output current IQ is the maximum quiescent current at IOUT(max). A heat sink effectively increases the surface area of the package to improve the flow of heat away from the IC into the air. Each material in the heat flow path between the IC and the environment has a thermal resistance. Like series electrical resistances, these resistances are summed to determine RQJA, the total thermal resistance between the junction and the air. This is expressed by equation (3): RQJA = RQJC + RQ CS + RQSA Where all of the following are in °C/W: RQJC is thermal resistance of junction to case, RQCS is thermal resistance of case to heat sink, RQSA is thermal resistance of heat sink to ambient air The value for RQJA is calculated using equation (3) and the result can be substituted in equation (1). The value for RQJC is 3.5°C/W for a given package type based on an average die size. For a high current regulator such as the GM6603 the majority of the heat is generated in the power transistor section.

Calculating Power Dissipation and Heat Sink Requirements
The GM6603 series precision linear regulators include thermal shutdown and current limit circuitry to protect the devices. However, high power regulators normally operate at high junction temperatures so it is important to calculate the power dissipation and junction temperatures accurately to be sure that you use and adequate heat sink. The case is connected to VOUT on the GM6603, so electrical isolation may be required for some applications. Thermal compound should always be used with high current regulators like the GM6603.
