The internal voltage reference is trimmed to less than 1%, enabling a very tight output voltage. In addition to excellent line and load regulation, with full overload protection, the LT138A incorporates new current limiting circuitry allowing large transient load currents to be handled for short periods. Transient load currents of up to 12A can be supplied without limiting, eliminating the need for a large output capacitor. The LT138A is an improved version of the popular LM138 with improved circuit design and advanced process techniques to provide superior performance and reliability.

By placing a resistor, R1, between these two terminals, a constant current is caused to flow through R1 and down through R2 to set the overall output voltage. Normally this current is the specified minimum load current of 5mA or 10mA. Because IADJ is very small and constant when compared with the current through R1, it represents a small error and can usually be ignored. It is easily seen from the output voltage equation, that even if the resistors were of exact value, the accuracy of the output is limited by the accuracy of VREF. Earlier adjustable regulators had a reference tolerance of ± 4% which is dangerously close to the ± 5% supply tolerance required in many logic and analog systems. Further, even 1% resistors can drift 0.01%/°C, adding additional error to the output voltage tolerance.

Basic Adjustable Regulator 138afb 5 LT138A/LT338A LM138/LM338 APPLICATIONS INFORMATION For example, using 2% resistors and ± 4% tolerance for VREF, calculations will show that the expected range of a 5V regulator design would be 4.66V ≤ VOUT ≤ 5.36V or approximately ± 7%. If the same example were used for a 15V regulator, the expected tolerance would be ± 8%. With these results most applications required some method of trimming, usually a trim pot. This solution is both expensive and not conductive to volume production. One of the enhancements of Linear Technology’s adjustable regulators over existing devices is the tightened initial tolerance of VREF. This allows relatively inexpensive 1% or 2% film resistors to be used for R1 and R2 to set the output voltage within an acceptable tolerance. With a guaranteed 1% reference, a 5V power supply design, using ± 2% resistors, would have a worst-case manufacturing tolerance of ± 4%. If 1% resistors are used, the tolerance will drop to ± 2.5%. A plot of the worst-case output voltage tolerance as a function of resistor tolerance is shown on the front page of this data sheet. For convenience, a table of standard 1% resistor values is shown in Table 1.

As an example, 1.21 can represent 1.21Ω, 12.1Ω, 121Ω, 1.21k etc. Bypass Capacitors Input bypassing using a 1µF tantalum or 25µf electrolytic is recommended when the input filter capacitors are more than 5 inches from the device. Improved ripple rejection 6 U W U U (80dB) can be accomplished by adding a 10µF capacitor from the ADJ pin to ground. Increasing the size of the capacitor to 20µF will help ripple rejection at low output voltage since the reactance of this capacitor should be small compared to the voltage setting resistor, R2. For improved AC transient response and to prevent the possibility of oscillation due to unknown reactive load, a 1µF capacitor is also recommended at the output. Because of their low impedance at high frequencies, the best type of capacitor to use is solid tantalum. Protection Diodes The LT138A/LT338A do not require a protection diode from the adjustment terminal to the output (see Figure 2). Improved internal circuitry eliminates the need for this diode when the adjustment pin is bypassed with a capacitor to improve ripple rejection. If a very large output capacitor is used, such as a 100µF shown in Figure 2, the regulator could be damaged or destroyed if the input is accidentally shorted to ground or crowbarred, due to the output capacitor discharging into the output terminal of the regulator. To prevent this, a diode D1 as shown, is recommended to safely discharge the capacitor.

Load regulation will be limited by the resistance of the wire connecting the regulator to the load. The data sheet specification for load regulation is measured at the bottom of the package. Negative side sensing is a true Kelvin connection, with the bottom of the output divider returned to the 138afb LT138A/LT338A LM138/LM338 APPLICATIONS INFORMATION negative side of the load. Although it may not be immediately obvious, best load regulation is obtained when the top of the resistor divider, R1, is connected directly to the case not to the load. This is illustrated in Figure 3. If R1 were connected to the load, the effective resistance between the regulator and the load would be: LT338A VIN VIN ADJ VOUT CONNECT R1 TO CASE R1 RL R2 CONNECT R2 TO LOAD 138A/338A F03  R2 + R1 RP   , RP = Parasitic Line Re sistance  R1  Connected as shown, RP is not multiplied by the divider ratio. RP is about 0.004Ω per foot using 16 gauge wire. This translates to 4mV/ft at 1A load current, so it is important to keep the positive lead between regulator and load as short as possible, and use large wire or PC board traces.
