The use of a PNP power transistor provides a low dropout voltage characteristic. With a load current of 500 mA the minimum input to output voltage differential required for the output to remain in regulation is typically 0.5 V (1-V ensured maximum over the full operating temperature range). Special circuitry has been incorporated to minimize the quiescent current to typically only 10 mA with a full 500-mA load current when the input to output voltage differential is greater than 3 V. The LM2937 requires an output bypass capacitor for stability. As with most low dropout regulators, the ESR of this capacitor remains a critical design parameter, but the LM2937 includes special compensation circuitry that relaxes ESR requirements. The device is stable for all ESR below 3 . This allows the use of low ESR chip capacitors. Ideally suited for automotive applications, the LM2937 will protect itself and any load circuitry from reverse battery connections, two-battery jumps, and up to 60V/-50-V load dump transients. Familiar regulator features such as short circuit and thermal shutdown protection are also built in.

The use of a PNP power transistor provides a low dropout voltage characteristic. With a load current of 500 mA the minimum input to output voltage differential required for the output to remain in regulation is typically 0.5 V (1 V ensured maximum over the full operating temperature range). Special circuitry has been incorporated to minimize the quiescent current to typically only 10 mA with a full 500-mA load current when the input to output voltage differential is greater than 3 V. 7.2 Functional Block Diagram INPUT OUTPUT PNP OVSD (32V) Current Limit Thermal Shutdown + Bandgap Reference LM2937 GND 7.3 Feature Description 7.3.1 Thermal Shutdown (TSD) The Thermal Shutdown circuitry of the LM2937 has been designed to protect the device against temporary thermal overload conditions. The TSD circuitry is not intended to replace proper heat-sinking. Continuously running the LM2937 device at thermal shutdown may degrade device reliability as the junction temperature will be exceeding the absolute maximum junction temperature rating. 7.3.2 Short Circuit Current Limit The output current limiting circuitry of the LM2937 has been designed to limit the output current in cases where the load impedance is unusually low. This includes situations where the output may be shorted directly to ground. Continuous operation of the LM2937 at the current limit will typically result in the LM2937 transitioning into Thermal Shutdown mode. 7.3.3 Overvoltage Shutdown (OVSD) Input voltages greater than typically 32 V will cause the LM2937 output to be disabled. When operating with the input voltage greater than the maximum recommended input voltage of 26 V the device performance is not ensured. Continuous operation with the input voltage greater than the maximum recommended input voltage is discouraged.

Generally, the output voltage will track the input voltage until the input voltage is greater than VOUT + 1V. When the input voltage is greater than VOUT + 1V the LM2937 will be in linear operation, and the output voltage will be regulated; however, the device will be sensitive to any small perturbation of the input voltage. Device dynamic performance is improved when the input voltage is at least 2 V greater than the output voltage. 12 Submit Documentation Feedback Copyright (c) 2000-2014, Texas Instruments Incorporated Product Folder Links: LM2937 LM2937 www.ti.com SNVS100F - MARCH 2000 - REVISED JULY 2014 8 Application and Implementation 8.1 Application Information Figure 18 shows the typical application circuit for the LM2937. The output capacitor, COUT, must have a capacitance value of at least 10 F with an ESR of at least 10 m, but no more than 3 . The minimum capacitance value, and the ESR requirements apply across the entire expected operating ambient temperature range. 8.2 Typical Application Figure 18. LM2937 Typical Application *Required if the regulator is located more than 3 inches from the power-supply-filter capacitors. **Required for stability. COUT must be at least 10 F (over full expected operating temperature range) and located as close as possible to the regulator. The equivalent series resistance, ESR, of this capacitor may be as high as 3 . 8.2.1 Design Requirements For this design example, use the parameters listed in Table 1: Table 1. Design Parameters DESIGN PARAMETER EXAMPLE VALUE Output voltage 8V Input voltage 10 V to 26 V Output current requirement 5 mA to IOUT(MAX) (see Electrical Characteristics: LM2937-5, Electrical Characteristics: LM2937-8, Electrical Characteristics: LM2937-10, Electrical Characteristics: LM2937-12, Electrical Characteristics: LM2937-15 for details) Input capacitor value 0.1 F Output capacitor capacitance value 10 F minimum Output capacitor ESR value 0.01 to 3 8.2.2 Detailed Design Procedure 8.2.2.1 External Capacitors The output capacitor is critical to maintaining regulator stability, and must meet the required conditions for both Equivalent Series Resistance (ESR) and minimum amount of capacitance. Minimum Capacitance: The minimum output capacitance required to maintain stability is 10 F. (This value may be increased without limit.) Larger values of output capacitance will give improved transient response. ESR Limits: The ESR of the output capacitor will cause loop instability if it is too high or too low. The acceptable range of ESR plotted versus load current is shown in the graph below. It is essential that the output capacitor meet these requirements, or oscillations can result.

ESR Limits It is important to note that for most capacitors, ESR is specified only at room temperature. However, the designer must ensure that the ESR will stay inside the limits shown over the entire operating temperature range for the design. For aluminum electrolytic capacitors, ESR will increase by about 30X as the temperature is reduced from 25C to -40C. This type of capacitor is not well-suited for low temperature operation. Solid tantalum capacitors have a more stable ESR over temperature, but are more expensive than aluminum electrolytics. A cost-effective approach sometimes used is to parallel an aluminum electrolytic with a solid Tantalum, with the total capacitance split about 75/25% with the Aluminum being the larger value. If two capacitors are paralleled, the effective ESR is the parallel of the two individual values. The "flatter" ESR of the Tantalum will keep the effective ESR from rising as quickly at low temperatures. 8.2.2.3 Heatsinking A heatsink may be required depending on the maximum power dissipation and maximum ambient temperature of the application. Under all possible operating conditions, the junction temperature must be within the range specified under Absolute Maximum Ratings. To determine if a heatsink is required, the power dissipated by the regulator, PD, must be calculated. Figure 20 below shows the voltages and currents which are present in the circuit, as well as the formula for calculating the power dissipated in the regulator: IIN = IL + IG PD = (VIN - VOUT) IL + (VIN) IG Figure 20. Power Dissipation Diagram The next parameter which must be calculated is the maximum allowable temperature rise, TR (max). This is calculated by using the formula: TR (max) = TJ(max) - TA (max) 14 Submit Documentation Feedback Copyright (c) 2000-2014, Texas Instruments Incorporated Product Folder Links: LM2937 LM2937 www.ti.com SNVS100F - MARCH 2000 - REVISED JULY 2014 where * TJ (max) is the maximum allowable junction temperature, which is 125C for the TO-220 and TO-263 packages, and 85C for the SOT-223 package. TA (max) is the maximum ambient temperature which will be encountered in the application. * (1) Using the calculated values for TR(max) and PD, the maximum allowable value for the junction-to-ambient thermal resistance, RJA, can now be found: RJA = TR (max)/PD (2) NOTE IMPORTANT: If the maximum allowable value for RJA is found to be 53C/W for the TO-220 package, 80C/W for the DDPAK/TO-263 package, or 174C/W for the SOT223 package, no heatsink is needed since the package alone will dissipate enough heat to satisfy these requirements. If the calculated value for R JA falls below these limits, a heatsink is required. 8.2.2.4 Heatsinking TO-220 Package Parts The TO-220 can be attached to a typical heatsink, or secured to a copper plane on a PC board. If a copper plane is to be used, the values of RJA will be the same as shown in the next section for the DDPAK/TO-263. If a manufactured heatsink is to be selected, the value of heatsink-to-ambient thermal resistance, RHA, must first be calculated: RHA = RJA - RCH - RJC where * * RJC is defined as the thermal resistance from the junction to the surface of the case. A value of 3C/W can be assumed for RJC for this calculation RCH is defined as the thermal resistance between the case and the surface of the heatsink. The value of RCH will vary from about 1.5C/W to about 2.5C/W (depending on method of attachment, insulator, etc.). If the exact value is unknown, 2C/W should be assumed for RCH (3) When a value for RHA is found using the equation shown, a heatsink must be selected that has a value that is less than or equal to this number. RHA is specified numerically by the heatsink manufacturer in the catalog, or shown in a curve that plots temperature rise vs power dissipation for the heatsink. 8.2.2.5 Heatsinking DDPAK/TO-263 and SOT-223 Package Parts Both the DDPAK/TO-263 and SOT-223 packages use a copper plane on the PCB and the PCB itself as a heatsink. To optimize the heat sinking ability of the plane and PCB, solder the tab of the package to the plane. Figure 21 shows for the DDPAK/TO-263 the measured values of RJA for different copper area sizes using a typical PCB with 1 ounce copper and no solder mask over the copper area used for heatsinking.

RJA vs. Copper (1 ounce) Area for the DDPAK/TO-263 Package As shown in Figure 21, increasing the copper area beyond 1 square inch produces very little improvement. It should also be observed that the minimum value of RJA for the DDPAK/TO-263 package mounted to a PCB is 32C/W. As a design aid, Figure 22 shows the maximum allowable power dissipation compared to ambient temperature for the DDPAK/TO-263 device (assuming RJA is 35C/W and the maximum junction temperature is 125C). Figure 22. Maximum Power Dissipation vs. TAMB for the DDPAK/TO-263 Package Figure 23 and Figure 24 show information for the SOT-223 package. Figure 24 assumes an RJA of 74C/W for 1 ounce copper and 51C/W for 2 ounce copper and a maximum junction temperature of 85C. 16 Submit Documentation Feedback Copyright (c) 2000-2014, Texas Instruments Incorporated Product Folder Links: LM2937 LM2937 www.ti.com SNVS100F - MARCH 2000 - REVISED JULY 2014 Figure 23.

Maximum Power Dissipation vs TAMB for the SOT-223 Package 8.2.2.6 SOT-223 Soldering Recommendations It is not recommended to use hand soldering or wave soldering to attach the small SOT-223 package to a printed circuit board. The excessive temperatures involved may cause package cracking. Either vapor phase or infrared reflow techniques are preferred soldering attachment methods for the SOT-223 package. 8.2.3 Application Curves Figure 25. Output at Voltage Extremes Figure 26. Dropout Voltage vs. Temperature 9 Power Supply Recommendations This device is designed to operate from an input supply voltage from at least VOUT + 1 V up to a maximum of 26 V. The input supply should be well regulated and free of spurious noise. To ensure that the LM2937 output voltage is well regulated the input supply should be at least VOUT + 2 V. A capacitor at the INPUT pin may not be specifically required if the bulk input supply filter capacitors are within three inches of the INPUT pin, but adding one will not be detrimental to operation.

PCB layout practices that are adequate for typical LDO's may degrade the PSRR, noise, or transient performance of the LM2937. Best performance is achieved by placing CIN and COUT on the same side of the PCB as the LM2937, and as close as is practical to the package. The ground connections for CIN and COUT should be back to the LM2937 ground pin using as wide, and as short, of a copper trace as is practical. Connections using long trace lengths, narrow trace widths, and/or connections through vias should be avoided as these will add parasitic inductances and resistances that will give inferior performance, especially during transient conditions 10.2 Layout Example 3 2 INPUT COUT 1 CIN OUTPUT GND Figure 27.
