When a high value capacitor is used, a low value capacitor is also recommended to be put in parallel. The NCP566 is optimized for use with a 150 mF OSCON 16SA150M type in parallel with a 10 mF OSCON 10SL10M type from Sanyo. The 10 mF capacitor is used for best AC stability while 150 mF capacitor is used for achieving excellent load transient response. The output capacitors should be placed as close as possible to the output pin of the device. If not, the excellent load transient response of NCP566 will be degraded. APPLICATION INFORMATION The NCP566 low dropout linear regulator provides fixed voltages at currents up to 1.5 A. It features ultra fast transient response and low dropout voltage. These devices contain output current limiting, short circuit protection and thermal shutdown protection. Input, Output Capacitor and Stability Typical values of parameters in Electrical Characteristics section and in Typical Characteristics section were measured with input and output capacitors equal to 150 mF unless otherwise noted. An input bypass capacitor is recommended to improve transient response or if the regulator is located more than a few inches from the power source. This will reduce the circuit's sensitivity to the input line impedance at high frequencies and significantly enhance the output transient response. Different types and different sizes of input capacitors can be chosen dependent on the quality of power supply. The range of 4.7 mF to 150 mF should cover most of the applications. The higher capacitance the lower change of input voltage due to line and load transients. The bypass capacitor should be mounted with shortest possible lead or track length directly across the regulator's input terminals. The output capacitor is required for stability. The NCP566 remains stable with ceramic, tantalum, and aluminum- electrolytic capacitors with a minimum value of 1.0 mF with ESR between 50 mW and 2.5 W. The range of 2.2 mF to Load Transient Measurement Large load current changes are always presented in microprocessor applications. Therefore good load transient performance is required for the power stage. NCP566 has the feature of ultra fast transient response. Its load transient responses in Figures 11 through 14 are tested on evaluation board shown in Figure 17. The evaluation board consists of NCP566 regulator circuit with decoupling and filter capacitors and the pulse controlled current sink to obtain load current transitions. The load current transitions are measured by current probe. Because the signal from current probe has some time delay, it causes un-synchronization between the load current transition and output voltage response, which is shown in Figures 11 through 14.

Schematic for Transient Response Measurement http://onsemi.com 7 NCP566 PCB Layout Considerations Thermal Considerations Good PCB layout plays an important role in achieving good load transient performance. Because it is very sensitive to its PCB layout, particular care has to be taken when tackling Printed Circuit Board (PCB) layout. For microprocessor applications it is customary to use an output capacitor network consisting of several capacitors in parallel. This reduces the overall ESR and reduces the instantaneous output voltage drop under transient load conditions. The output capacitor network should be as close as possible to the load for the best results. This series contains an internal thermal limiting circuit that is designed to protect the regulator in the event that the maximum junction temperature is exceeded. This feature provides protection from a catastrophic device failure due to accidental overheating. It is not intended to be used as a substitute for proper heat sinking. The maximum device power dissipation can be calculated by: PD + TJ(max) * TA RqJA 200 Protection Diodes When large external capacitors are used with a linear regulator it is sometimes necessary to add protection diodes. If the input voltage of the regulator gets 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 and the rate at which Vin drops. In the NCP566 linear regulator, the discharge path is through a large junction and protection diodes are not usually needed. If the regulator is used with large values of output capacitance and the input voltage is instantaneously shorted to ground, damage can occur. In this case, a diode connected as shown in Figure 18 is recommended. 180 qJA (C/W) 160 140 120 100 1 oz Cu 80 60 2 oz Cu 40 0 50 100 150 200 250 300 350 400 450 500 COPPER HEAT-SPREADER AREA (mm sq) Figure 19.
