3 Application Notes
The COS2915x, COS2930x, COS2950x, and COS2975x are high-performance low-dropout voltage
regulators suitable for all moderate to high-current voltage regulator applications. Their 350 mV to
425 mV typical dropout voltage at full load make them especially valuable in battery powered
systems and as high efficiency noise filters in post-regulator applications.
The COS2915x/2930x/2950x/2975x family of regulators are fully protected from damage due to fault
conditions. Current limiting is provided. This limiting is linear; output current under overload
conditions is constant. Thermal shutdown disables the device when the die temperature exceeds the
+125°C maximum safe operating temperature. Line transient protection allows device and load

COS2915X/2930X/2950X/2975X
survival even when the input voltage spikes between –20V and +40V. When the input voltage
exceeds approximately 36V, the overvoltage sensor disables the regulator. The output structure of
these regulators allows voltages in excess of the desired output voltage to be applied without reverse
current flow. COS29xx2 versions offer a logic-level ON/OFF control. When disabled, the devices
draw nearly zero current. An additional feature of this regulator family is a common pinout. A
design’s current requirement may change up or down, but use the same board layout because all of
these regulators have identical pinouts.
3.1 Typical Application Circuit
Figure 1 Typical Application Circuit
*see minimum load current section. On the COS29xx2, the EN (ENABLE) pin may be tied to VIN if it
is not required for ON/OFF control.
3.2 Capacitor Requirements
For stability and minimum output noise, a capacitor on the regulator output is necessary. The value
of this capacitor is dependent upon the output current; lower currents allow smaller capacitors. The
COS2915x/2930x/2950x/2975x regulators are stable with the following minimum capacitor values at
full load, as noted in Table 4-1. This capacitor need not be an expensive low ESR type: aluminum
electrolytics are adequate. In fact, extremely low ESR capacitors may contribute to instability.
Tantalum capacitors are recommended for systems where fast load transient response is important
where the regulator is powered from a source with high AC impedance, a 0.1μF capacitor connected
between Input and GND is recommended. This capacitor should have good characteristics to above
250 kHz.

3.3 Minimum Load Current
The COS2915x–2975x regulators are specified between finite loads. If the output current is too small,
leakage currents dominate and the output voltage rises. The following minimum load current
swamps any expected leakage current across the operating temperature range, as shown in Table
4-2.

3.4 Adjustable Regulator Design
COS29xx2 and COS29xx3, allow programming the output voltage anywhere between 1.25V and the
25V. Two resistors are used. The resistor values are calculated by following equation.
R1 = R2 × (VOUT/1.240 – 1)
In the equation above, VOUT is the desired output voltage. The typical application circuit in Figure1
shows component definition. Applications with widely varying load currents may scale the resistors to
draw the minimum load current required for proper operation (see the Minimum Load Current
sub-section).
3.5 Error Flag
COS29xx3 versions feature an Error Flag, which looks at the output voltage and signals an error
condition when this voltage drops 5% below its expected value. The error flag is an open-collector
output that pulls low under fault conditions. It may sink 10 mA. Low output voltage signifies a number
of possible problems, including an overcurrent fault (the device is in current-limit) and low input
voltage. The flag output is functional during over-temperature shutdown conditions.
3.6 Enable Input
COS29xx2 versions feature an enable (EN) input that allows ON/OFF control of the device. Special
design allows “zero” current drain when the device is disabled; only microamperes of leakage current
flows. The EN input has TTL/CMOS compatible thresholds for simple interfacing with logic, or may
be directly tied to ≤30V.
