WT1117A
APPLICATION INFORMATION
WT1117A linear regulators provide fixed and adjustable output voltages at currents up to 1.0A. These regulators are protected against overcurrent conditions and include thermal shutdown protection. The WT1117A's have a composite PNP-NPN output transistorand require an output capacitor for stability. A detailed procedure for selecting this capacitor follows.
Adjustable Operation
The WT1117A has an output voltage range of 1.25 V to 5.5 V. An external resistor divider sets the output voltage as shown in Figure 1. The regulator maintains a fixed 1.25V (typical) reference between the output pin and the adjust pin. A resistor divider network R1 and R2 causes a fixed current to flow to ground. This current creates a voltage across R2 that adds to the 1.25V across R1 and sets the overall output voltage. The adjust pin current (typically 35μA) also flows through R2 and adds a small error that should be taken into account if precise adjustment of VOUT is necessary. The output voltage is set according to the formula:
V OUT = VREF X (
R1 + R2 ) + IAdj X R2 R1
The term IAdj R2 represents the error added by the adjust pin current. R1 is chosen so that the minimum load current is at least 2.0mA R1 and R2 should be the same type e.g. metal film for best tracking over temperature. While not required, a bypass capacitor from the adjust pin to ground will improve ripple rejection and transient response. A 0.1μF tantalum capacitor is recommended for first cut design. Type and value may be varied to obtainoptimum performance vs. price.

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 constrains, 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 widelt.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 W T1117A higher capacitance values will improve the transient response and stability. Most applications for the W T1117A’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:
V = I x ESR
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 the best results. Used with large output capacitance values and theinput voltage is instantaneously shorted to ground, damage can occur. In this case, a diode connected as shown above in Figure1.

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.

In the W T1117A linear regulators, the discharge path is through a large junction, and protection diodes are normally not needed. However, damage can occur if the regulator is used with large output capacitance values and the input voltage is instantaneously shorted to ground. In this case, a diode connected as shown above in Figure 2.
Output Voltage Sensing
The W T1117A are three terminal regulators. For which, 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 W T1117A should be connected are as shown in Figure 3.

Calculating Power Dissipation and Heat Sink Requirements
The W T1117A precision linear regulators include thermal shutdown and current limit circuitry to protect the devices. However, high power regulators normally operate at high junction temperatures. 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 W T1117A, and electrical isolation may be required for some applications. Thermal compound should always be used with high current regulators like the W T1117A.

The thermal characteristics of an IC depend four factors: 1. Maximum Ambient Temperature TA(°C) 2. Power Dissipation PD ( Watts) 3. Maximum Junction Junction Temperature TJ(°C) 4. Thermal Resistance Junction to ambient RθJA(°C/W ) The relationship of these four factors is expressed by equation (1):
TJ=TA + PD X RθJA ........(1)
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 ........(2)
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 resistance are summed to determine RθJA the total thermal resistance between the junction and the air. This is expressed by equation (3):
RθJA=RθJC + RθCS X RθSA........(3)
Where all of the following are in °C/W RθJC is thermal resistance of junction to case, RθCS is thermal resistance of case to heat sink, RθSA is thermal resistance of heat sink to ambient air The value for RθJA is calculated using equation (3) and the result can be substituted in equation (1) .The value for RθJC is 3.5°C/W for a given package type based on an average die size. For a high current regulator such as the W T1117A the majority of the heat is generated in the power transistor section.
