IRU1175
7.5A ULTRA LOW DROPOUT POSITIVE
ADJUSTABLE REGULATOR
DESCRIPTION
The IRU1175 is a 7.5A regulator with extremely low drop-
out voltage using a proprietary bipolar process that
achieves comparable equivalent on resistance to that of
discrete MOSFETs. This product is specifically designed
to provide well regulated supply for applications requir-
ing very low dropout such as 2.8V from 3.3V ATX power
supplies where the same efficiency as the switcher can
be achieved without the cost and complexity associ-
ated with switching regulators. One such application is
the new graphic chip sets that require 2.7V supply such
as the Intel
I740
chip set.

APPLICATION INFORMATION
Introduction
The IRU1175 adjustable regulator is a five-terminal de-
vice designed specifically to provide extremely low drop-
out voltages comparable to the PNP type without the
disadvantage of the extra power dissipation due to the
base current associated with PNP regulators. This is
done by bringing out the control pin of the regulator that
provides the base current to the power NPN and con-
necting it to a voltage that is grater than the voltage present
at the V
IN
pin. This flexibility makes the IRU1175 ideal
for applications where dual inputs are available such as
a computer mother board with an ATX style power sup-
ply that provides 5V and 3.3V to the board. One such
application is the new graphic chip sets that require any-
where from 2.4V to 2.7V supply such as the Intel
I740
chip set. The IRU1175 can easily be programmed with
the addition of two external resistors to any voltages
within the range of 1.25 to 5.5V. Another major require-
ment of these graphic chips is the need to switch the
load current from zero to several amps in tens of nano-
seconds at the processor pins, which translates to an
approximately 300 to 500ns of current step at the regu-
lator. In addition, the output voltage tolerances are also
extremely tight and they include the transient response
as part of the specification.
The IRU1175 is specifically designed to meet the fast
current transient needs as well as providing an accurate
initial voltage, reducing the overall system cost with the
need for fewer number of output capacitors. Another fea-
ture of the device is its true remote sensing capability
which allows accurate voltage setting at the load rather
than at the device.
Output Voltage Setting
The IRU1175 can be programmed to any voltages in the
range of 1.25V to 5.5V with the addition of R1 and R2
external resistors according to the following formula:

IRU1175
The IRU1175 keeps a constant 1.25V between the V
SENSE
pin and the V
ADJ
pin. By placing a resistor R1 across
these two pins and connecting the V
SENSE
and V
OUT
pin
together, a constant current flows through R1, adding to
the I
ADJ
current and into the R2 resistor producing a volt-
age equal to the (1.25/R1)3R2 + I
ADJ
3R2.
This voltage
is then added to the 1.25V to set the output voltage.
This is summarized in the above equation. Since the
minimum load current requirement of the IRU1175 is
10mA, R1 is typically selected to be a 121V resistor so
that it automatically satisfies this condition. Notice that
since the I
ADJ
is typically in the range of 50mA it adds a
small error to the output voltage and should be consid-
ered when very precise output voltage setting is required.
Load Regulation
Since the IRU1175 has separate pins for the output (V
OUT
)
and the sense (V
SENSE
), it is ideal for providing true re-
mote sensing of the output voltage at the load. This
means that the voltage drops due to parasitic resistance
such as PCB traces between the regulator and the load
are compensated for using remote sensing. Figure 4
shows a typical application of the IRU1175 with remote
sensing.

For most applications a minimum of 100mF aluminum
electrolytic capacitor such as Sanyo, MVGX series,
Panasonic FA series as well as the Nichicon PL series
insures both stability and good transient response.
Thermal Design
The IRU1175 incorporates an internal thermal shutdown
that protects the device when the junction temperature
exceeds the allowable maximum junction temperature.
Although this device can operate with junction tempera-
tures in the range of 1508C, it is recommended that the
selected heat sink be chosen such that during maxi-
mum continuous load operation the junction tempera-
ture is kept below this number. The example below
shows the steps in selecting the proper surface mount
package.

Stability
The IRU1175 requires the use of an output capacitor as
part of the frequency compensation in order to make the
regulator stable. Typical designs for the microproces-
sor applications use standard electrolytic capacitors with
typical ESR in the range of 50 to 100mV and an output
capacitance of 500 to 1000mF. Fortunately as the ca-
pacitance increases, the ESR decreases resulting in a
fixed RC time constant. The IRU1175 takes advantage
of this phenomena in making the overall regulator loop
stable.
