General Description
The TS29151/52/53 series are using process with a PNP pass element for high current, high accuracy and low dropout
voltage regulators. These regulator s feature 350mV(typ) dropout voltages and very low ground current, these devices
also find applications in lower current and low dropout critical systems, where their tiny dropout voltage and ground
current values are important attributes.
The TS29151/52/53 series are fully protected against over current faults, reversed input polarity, reversed lead insertion,
over temperature operation, positive and negative transient voltage spikes, logic level enable control and error flag which
signals whenever the output falls out of regulation.
On the TS29151 and TS29152, the enable pin may be tied to Vin if it is not required for enable control. This series are
offered in 5-pin TO-263, TO-220 package.

Note 1: Absolute Maximum Rating is limits beyond which damage to the device may occur. For guaranteed
specifications and test conditions see the Electrical Characteristics.
Note 2: Maximum positive supply voltage of 60V must be limited duration (<100mS) and duty cycle (<1%).
Note 3: The maximum allowable power dissipation is a function of the maximum junction temperature, Tj, the junction to
ambient thermal resistance,
θja,
and the ambient temperature , Ta. Exceeding the maximum allowable power
dissipation will cause excessive die temperature, and the regulator will go into thermal shutdown. The effective
value of
θja
can be reduced by using a heatsink.
Note 4: Dropout voltage is defined as the input to output differential at which the output voltage drops 2% below its
nominal value measured at 1V differential.
Note 5: Ground pin current is the regulator quiescent current. The total current drawn from the source is the sum of the
ground pin current and output load current.
Note 6: Output current will decrease with increasing temperature, but it will be not dropped below 1.5A at the maximum
specified temperature.
Note 7: Thermal regulation is defined as the change in output voltage at a time T after a change in power dissipation is
applied, excluding load or line regulation effects. Specification are for a 200mA load pulse at Vin=20V(a 4W
pulse) for T=10mS
Note 8: Comparator thresholds are expressed in terms of a voltage differential at the adjust terminal below the nominal
reference voltage measured at 6V input. To express these thresholds in terms of output voltage change,
multiply by the error amplifier gain = Vout / Vref = (R1+R2) / R2. For example, at a programmed output voltage
of 5V, the error output is guaranteed to go low when the output drops by 95mV x 5V / 1.24V = 384mV.
Thresholds remain constant as a percent of Vout as Vout is varied, with the dropout warning occurring at
typically 5% below nominal, 7.7% guaranteed.

Application Information
Application Information
The TS29151/52/53 series are high performance with
low dropout voltage regulator suitable for moderate to
high current and voltage regulator application. Its
350mA(typ) dropout voltage at full load and over
temperature makes it especially valuable in battery
power systems and as high efficiency noise filters in
post
regulator
applications.
Unlike
normal
NPN
transistor design, where the base to emitter voltage
drop and collector to emitter saturation voltage limit the
minimum dropout voltage, dropout performance of the
PNP output of these devices is limited only by low Vce
saturation voltage.
The TS29151/52/53 series is fully protected from
damage due to fault conditions. Linear current limiting is
provided. Output current during overload conditions is
constant. Thermal shutdown the device when the die
temperature exceeds the maximum safe operating
temperature. Transient protection allows device survival
even when the input voltage spikes above and below
nominal. The output structure of these regulators allows
voltages in excess of the desired output voltage to be
applied without reverse current flow.
Thermal Characteristics
TS29151/52/53 series linear regulators are simple to
use, the most complicated design parameters to
consider are thermal characteristics, thermal design

parameters:
Maximum ambient temperature, Ta

Output voltage, Vout

We calculate the power dissipation of the regulator
from these numbers and the device parameters from
this data sheet. 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 the heatsink is
required, the power dissipated by the regulator, P
D
must be calculated.

calculating the P

Capacitor Requirement
The TS29151/52/53 series requires an output capacitor
to maintain stability and improve transient response is
necessary. The value of this capacitor is dependent
upon the output current, lower currents allow smaller
capacitors. TS29151/52/53 series regulators are stable
with the 10uF minimum capacitor value at full load.
Where the regulator is powered from a source with high
AC impedance, a 0.1uF capacitor connected between
input and ground is recommended. The capacitor
should have good characteristics to above 250KHz. The
capacitance values will be help to improved transient
response, ripple rejection and output noise.
Minimum Load Current
The TS29151/52/53 series is specified between finite
loads. If the output current is too small leakage currents
dominate and the output voltage rises. A 10mA
minimum load current swamps any expected leakage
current across the operating temperature range.
