1.0 A Low-Dropout Positive
Fixed and Adjustable
Voltage Regulators
The NCP1117 series are low dropout positive voltage regulators that
are capable of providing an output current that is in excess of 1.0 A
with a maximum dropout voltage of 1.2 V at 800 mA over
temperature. This series contains nine fixed output voltages of 1.5 V,
1.8 V, 1.9 V, 2.0 V, 2.5 V, 2.85 V, 3.3 V, 5.0 V, and 12 V that have no
minimum load requirement to maintain regulation. Also included is an
adjustable output version that can be programmed from 1.25 V to
18.8 V with two external resistors. On chip trimming adjusts the
reference/output voltage to within ±1.0% accuracy. Internal protection
features consist of output current limiting, safe operating area
compensation, and thermal shutdown. The NCP1117 series can
operate with up to 20 V input. Devices are available in SOT223 and
DPAK packages.

APPLICATIONS INFORMATION
Introduction
The NCP1117 features a significant reduction in dropout
voltage along with enhanced output voltage accuracy and
temperature stability when compared to older industry
standard threeterminal adjustable regulators. These
devices contain output current limiting, safe operating area
compensation and thermal shutdown protection making
them designer friendly for powering numerous consumer
and industrial products. The NCP1117 series is pin
compatible with the older LM317 and its derivative device
types.
Output Voltage
The typical application circuits for the fixed and
adjustable output regulators are shown in Figures 23 and 24.
The adjustable devices are floating voltage regulators. They
develop and maintain the nominal 1.25 V reference voltage
between the output and adjust pins. The reference voltage is
programmed to a constant current source by resistor R1, and
this current flows through R2 to ground to set the output
voltage. The programmed current level is usually selected to
be greater than the specified 5.0 mA minimum that is
required for regulation. Since the adjust pin current, Iadj, is
significantly lower and constant with respect to the
programmed load current, it generates a small output
voltage error that can usually be ignored. For the fixed
output devices R1 and R2 are included within the device and
the ground current Ignd, ranges from 3.0 mA to 5.0 mA
depending upon the output voltage.
External Capacitors
Input bypass capacitor Cin may be required for regulator
stability if the device is located more than a few inches from
the power source. This capacitor will reduce the circuit’s
sensitivity when powered from a complex source impedance
and significantly enhance the output transient response. The
input bypass capacitor should be mounted with the shortest
possible track length directly across the regulators input
and ground terminals. A 10 mF ceramic or tantalum
capacitor should be adequate for most applications.

Frequency compensation for the regulator is provided by
capacitor Cout and its use is mandatory to ensure output
stability. A minimum capacitance value of 4.7 mF with an
equivalent series resistance (ESR) that is within the limits of
33 mW (typ) to 2.2 W is required. See Figures 12 and 13. The
capacitor type can be ceramic, tantalum, or aluminum
electrolytic as long as it meets the minimum capacitance
value and ESR limits over the circuit’s entire operating
temperature range. Higher values of output capacitance can
be used to enhance loop stability and transient response with
the additional benefit of reducing output noise.

The output ripple will increase linearly for fixed and
adjustable devices as the ratio of output voltage to the
reference voltage increases. For example, with a 12 V
regulator, the output ripple will increase by 12 V/1.25 V or
9.6 and the ripple rejection will decrease by 20 log of this
ratio or 19.6 dB. The loss of ripple rejection can be restored
to the values shown with the addition of bypass capacitor
Cadj, shown in Figure 24. The reactance of Cadj at the ripple
frequency must be less than the resistance of R1. The value
of R1 can be selected to provide the minimum required load
current to maintain regulation and is usually in the range of
100 W to 200 W.
Cadj u1
2pfripple R1
The minimum required capacitance can be calculated
from the above formula. When using the device in an
application that is powered from the AC line via a
transformer and a full wave bridge, the value for Cadj is:
fripple +120 Hz, R1 +120 W, then Cadj u11.1 mF
The value for Cadj is significantly reduced in applications
where the input ripple frequency is high. If used as a post
regulator in a switching converter under the following
conditions:
fripple +50 kHz, R1 +120 W, then Cadj u0.027 mF
Figures 10 and 11 shows the level of ripple rejection that
is obtainable with the adjust pin properly bypassed.

Protection Diodes
The NCP1117 family has two internal low impedance
diode paths that normally do not require protection when
used in the typical regulator applications. The first path
connects between Vout and Vin, and it can withstand a peak
surge current of about 15 A. Normal cycling of Vin cannot
generate a current surge of this magnitude. Only when Vin
is shorted or crowbarred to ground and Cout is greater than
50 mF, it becomes possible for device damage to occur.
Under these conditions, diode D1 is required to protect the
device. The second path connects between Cadj and V
out, and
it can withstand a peak surge current of about 150 mA.
Protection diode D2 is required if the output is shorted or
crowbarred to ground and Cadj is greater than 1.0 mF.

A combination of protection diodes D1 and D2 may be
required in the event that Vin is shorted to ground and Cadj
is greater than 50 mF. The peak current capability stated for
the internal diodes are for a time of 100 ms with a junction
temperature of 25°C. These values may vary and are to be
used as a general guide.
Load Regulation
The NCP1117 series is capable of providing excellent
load regulation; but since these are three terminal devices,
only partial remote load sensing is possible. There are two
conditions that must be met to achieve the maximum
available load regulation performance. The first is that the
top side of programming resistor R1 should be connected as
close to the regulator case as practicable. This will minimize
the voltage drop caused by wiring resistance RW + from
appearing in series with reference voltage that is across R1.
The second condition is that the ground end of R2 should be
connected directly to the load. This allows true Kelvin
sensing where the regulator compensates for the voltage
drop caused by wiring resistance RW .

Thermal Considerations
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. When
activated, typically at 175°C, the regulator output switches
off and then back on as the die cools. As a result, if the device
is continuously operated in an overheated condition, the
output will appear to be oscillating. 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 heatsinking. The maximum device
power dissipation can be calculated by:
PD+TJ(max) *TA
RqJA
The devices are available in surface mount SOT223 and
DPAK packages. Each package has an exposed metal tab
that is specifically designed to reduce the junction to air
thermal resistance, RqJA, by utilizing the printed circuit
board copper as a heat dissipater. Figures 21 and 22 show
typical RqJA values that can be obtained from a square
pattern using economical single sided 2.0 ounce copper
board material. The final product thermal limits should be
tested and quantified in order to insure acceptable
performance and reliability. The actual RqJA can vary
considerably from the graphs shown. This will be due to any
changes made in the copper aspect ratio of the final layout,
adjacent heat sources, and air flow.

Figure 31. Battery BackedUp Power Supply Figure 32. Adjusting Output of Fixed
Voltage Regulators
The 50 W resistor that is in series with the ground pin of the
upper regulator level shifts its output 300 mV higher than the
lower regulator. This keeps the lower regulator off until the
input source is removed.
Resistor R2 sets the maximum output voltage. Each
transistor reduces the output voltage when turned on.
