To do this, all quiescent operating current is returned to the output establishing a minimum load current requirement. If there is insufficient load on the output, the output will rise. EXTERNAL CAPACITORS An input bypass capacitor is recommended. A 0.1µF disc or 1µF solid tantalum on the input is suitable input by passing for almost all applications. The device is more sensitive to the absence of input bypassing when adjustment or output capacitors are used byt the above values will eliminate the possibility of problems. The adjustment terminal can be bypassed to ground on the LM350 to improve ripple rejection. This bypass capacitor prevents ripple form being amplified as the output voltage is increased. With a 10µF bypass capacitor 75dB ripple rejection is obtainable at any output level. Increases over 20µF do not appreciably improve the ripple rejection at frequencies above 120Hz. If the bypass capacitor is used, it is sometimes necessary to include protection diodes to prevent the capacitor from discharging through internal low current paths and damaging the device. In general, the best type of capacitors to use are solid tantalum. Solid tantalum capacitors have low impedance even at high frequencies. Depending upon capacitor construction, it takes about 25µF in aluminum electrolytic to equal 1µF solid tantalum at high frequencies. Ceramic capacitors are also good at high frequencies, but some types have a large decrease in capacitance at frequencies around 0.5MHz. For this reason, 0.01µF disc may seem to work better than a 0.1µF disc as a bypass. Although the LM350 is stable with no output capacitors, like any feedback circuit, certain values of external capacitance can cause excessive ringing. This occurs with values between 500pF and 5000pF. A 1µF solid tantalum (or 25µF aluminium electrolytic) on the output swamps this effect and insures stability. LOAD REGULATION The LM350 is capable of providing extremely good load regulation but a few precautions are needed to obtain maximum performance. The current set resistor connected between the adjustment terminal and the output terminal (usually 240Ω) should be tied directly to the output of the regulator rather than near the load. This eliminates line drops from appearing effectively in series with the reference and degrading regulation. For example, a 15V regulator with 0.05Ω resistance between the regulator and load will have a load regulation due to line resistance of 0.05Ω x IL. If the set resistor is connected near the load the effective line resistance ∆ Needed if device is far from filter capacitors. * Optional-improves transient response. Output capacitors in the range of 1µF to 100µF of aluminium or tantalum electrolytic are commonly used to provide improved output impedance and rejection of transients. R2 * * V O = 1.25V (1 + ) R1 * * * R1 = 240Ω for LM150 and LM250 APPLICATION HINTS In operation, the LM350 develops a nominal 1.25V reference voltage, V(ref), between the output and adjustment terminal. The reference voltage is impressed across program resistor R1 and, since the voltage is constant, a constant current I1 then flows through the output set resistor R2, giving an output voltage of R2 VO = V(ref) ( 1+ ) + IadjR2 R1 Figure 1. LM350 4/7 LM150-LM250-LM350 will be 0.05Ω (1 + R2/R1) or in this case, 11.5 times worse. Figure 2 shows the effect of resistance between the regulator and 140Ω set resistor. With the TO-3 package, it is easy to minimize the resistance from the case to the set resistor, by using 2 separate leads to the case. The ground of R2 can be returned near the ground of the load to provide remote ground sensing and improve load regulation. PROTECTION DIODES When external capacitors are used with any IC regulator it is sometimes necessary to add protection diodes to prevent the capacitors from discharging through low current points into the regulator. Most Figure 2 : Regulator with Line Resistance in Output Lead. LM350 20µF capacitors have low enough internal series resistance to deliver 20A spikes when shorted. Although the surge is short, there is enough energy to damage parts of the IC. When an output capacitor is connected to a regulator and the input is shorted, the output capacitor will discharge into the output of the regulator. The discharge current depends on the value of the capacitor, the output voltage of the regulator, and the rate of decrease of VI. In the LM350 this discharge path is through a large junction that is able to sustain 25A surge with no problem. This is not true of other types of positive regulators. For output capacitors of 100µF or less at output of 15V or less, there is no need to use diodes. The bypass capacitor on the adjustment terminal can discharge through a low current junction. Discharge occurs when either the input or output is shorted. Internal to the LM350 is a 50Ω resistor which limits the peak discharge current. No protection is needed for output voltages of 25V or less and 10µF capacitance. Figure 3 shows an LM350 with protection diodes included for use with outputs greater than 25V and high values of output capacitance. Figure 3 : Regulator with Protection Diodes.
