SI-3010LLSL
1.5 A, Ultra-Low-Dropout, 1~3.3 V Regulator
Designed to meet the high-current requirements in industrial and
consumer applications; embedded core, memory, or logic supplies;
TVs, VCRs, and office equipment, the SI-3010LLSL voltage regulator
offers the reduced dropout voltage and low quiescent current essential
for improved ef
fi
ciency. This device delivers a regulated output at up to
1.5 A. Integrated thermal and overcurrent protection enhance overall
system reliability.
An npn pass element provides a dropout voltage of less than 300
mV at 1 A of load current. Regulator accuracy and excellent tempera-
ture characteristics are provided by a bandgap reference. Low output
voltages eliminate the need for expensive PWM buck converters. The
low dropout voltage permits more efficient regulation before output
regulation is lost. Quiescent current does not increase significantly as
the dropout voltage is approached, an ideal feature in standby/resume
power systems where data integrity is crucial. An LS-TTL/CMOS-
compatible input gives the designer complete control over power up,
standby, or power down.
This devices is supplied in a fully molded 8-lead miniature surface-
mount package (tape and reel) with enhanced power-dissipating qualities.
It is rated for continuous operation between -30°C and +100°C.

Soft-Start Capacitor
(C

). This capacitor between V

ENABLE Input.
The ENABLE (control) input features
an internal pull-down resistor. Leaving this input open
causes the output to turn off.
Determination of DC Input Voltage.
The minimum
input voltage V
I
(min) should be higher than the sum of the
fixed output voltage and the maximum rated dropout
voltage.
Overcurrent Protection.
The SI-3000LLSL series has
a built-in fold-back type overcurrent protection circuit,
which limits the output current at a start-up mode. It thus
cannot be used in applications that require current at the
start-up mode such as:
(1) constant-current load,
(2) power supply with positive and negative outputs to
common load (a center-tap type power supply), or
(3) raising the output voltage by putting a diode or a
resistor between the device ground and system ground.
Thermal Protection.
Circuitry turns off the pass
transistor when the junction temperature rises above 135°C.
It is intended only to protect the device from failures due to
excessive junction temperatures and should not imply that
output short circuits or continuous overloads are permitted.

APPLICATIONS INFORMATION
Heat Radiation and Reliability.
The reliability of the
device is directly related to the junction temperature (T
J
) in
its operation. Accordingly, careful consideration should be
given to heat dissipation.
The inner frame on which the pass transistor is mounted is
connected to terminals 7 and 8. Therefore, it is very
effective for heat radiation to enlarge the copper area that is
connected to these terminals. The graph illustrates the
effect of the copper area on the junction-to-ambient thermal
resistance (R
θJA
).
The junction temperature (T
J
) can be determined from
either of the following equations:
T
J
= (P
D
× R
θJA
) + T
A
or
T
J
= (P
D
× R
θJL
) + T
L
where P
D
= I
O
× (V
I
– V
O
),
T
L
is the temperature of lead 8, and
R
θJL
= 36°C/W.
Parallel Operation.
Parallel operation to increase load
current is not permitted.
