DESCRIPTION
The SPX2920 is a low power voltage regulator. This device is an excellent choice for use in battery-powered
applications such as cordless telephones, radio control systems, and portable computers. The SPX2920
features very low quiescent current (140µA Typ.) and very low dropout voltage. This includes a tight initial
tolerance of 1% max and very low output temperature coefficient, making the SPX2920 useful as a low-
power voltage reference.
The error flag output feature is used as power-on reset for warning of a low output voltage, due to a falling
voltage input of batteries. Another feature is the logic-compatible shutdown input which enables the
regulator to be switched on and off. The SPX2920 is offered in 3-pin TO-220 package, SO-8 (same pin
out as SPX2951), SOT-223, and surface mount and 3-pin TO-263 packages.
The regulator output voltage (of the SO-8) may be pin-strapped for a 3.3V and 5.0V or programmed from
1.24V to 20V with an external pair of resistors.

Note 3:
Regulation is measured at constant junction temperature, using pulse testing with a low duty cycle. Changes
in output voltage due to heating effects are covered under the specification for thermal regulation.
Note 4:
Line regulation for the SPX2920 is tested at 150°C for I
L
= 1 mA. For T
J
= 125°C, line regulation is guaranteed
by design.
Note 5:
Dropout voltage is defined as the input to output differential at which the output voltage drops 100 mV below
its nominal value measured at 1V differential at very low values of programmed output voltage, the minimum input
supply voltage of 2V ( 2.3V over temperature) must be taken into account.
Note 6:
Comparator thresholds are expressed in terms of a voltage differential at the feedback 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 = V
OUT
/V
REF
= (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 95 mV x 5V/1.235 = 384 mV. Thresholds remain
constant as a percent of V

APPLICATION HINTS
External Capacitors
The stability of the SPX2920 requires a 2.2µF or
greater capacitor between output and ground.
Oscillation could occur without this capacitor.
Most types of tantalum or aluminum electrolytic
works fine here. For operations of below -25°C
solid tantalum is recommended since the many
aluminum types have electrolytes that freeze at
about -30°C. The ESR of about 5Ω or less and
resonant frequency above 500kHz are the most
important parameters in the value of the capaci-
tor. The capacitor value can be increased with-
out limit.
At lower values of output current, less output
capacitance is required for stability. For the
currents below 10mA the value of the capacitor
can be reduced to 0.5µF and 0.15µF for 1mA.
More output capacitance needed for the 8-pin
version at voltages below 5V since it runs the
error amplifier at lower gain. At worst case
4.7µF or greater must be used for the condition
of 250mA load at 1.23V output.
The SPX2920, unlike other low dropout regu-
lators will remain stable and in regulation with
no load in addition to the internal voltage di-
vider. This feature is especially important in
applications like CMOS RAM keep-alive.
If there is more than 10 inches of wire between
the input and the AC filter capacitor, or if a
battery is used as the input, then a 0.1µF tanta-
lum or aluminum electrolytic capacitor should
be placed from the input to the ground.
Instability can occur if there is stray capaci-
tance to the SPX2920 feedback terminal (pin 7).
This could cause more problems when using a
higher value of external resistors to set the
output voltage.
This problem can be fixed by adding a 100pF
capacitor between output and feedback and
increasing the output capacitor to at least 3.3µF.

Error Detection Comparator Output
The Comparator produces a logic low output
whenever the SPX2920 output falls out of regu-
lation by more than around 5%. This is around
60mV offset divided by the 1.235 reference
voltage. This trip level remains 5% below
normal regardless of the programmed output
voltage of the regulator. Figure 1 shows the
timing diagram depicting the ERROR signal
and the regulator output voltage as the SPX2920
input is ramped up and down. The ERROR
signal becomes low at around 1.3V input, and
goes high around 5V input (input voltage at
which V
OUT
= 4.75). Since the SPX2920’s
dropout voltage is load dependent, the input
voltage trip point (around 5V) will vary with the
load current. The output voltage trip point
(approx. 4.75V) does not vary with load.
The error comparator has an open-collector out-
put, which requires an external pull-up resistor.
Depending on the system requirements the re-
sistor may be returned to 5V output or other
supply voltage. In determining the value of this
resistor, note that the output is rated to sink
400µA; this value adds to battery drain in a low
battery condition. Suggested values range from
100K to 1MΩ. If the output is unused this
resistor is not required.
Programming the Output Voltage of
SPX2920
The SPX2920 may be pin-strapped for 5V or
3.3V using its internal voltage divider by tying
Pin 1 (output) to Pin 2 (sense) and Pin 7 (feed-
back) to Pin 6 (5V/3.3V Tap).
Also, it may be programmed for any output
voltage between its 1.235V reference and its
20V maximum rating. As seen on the front
page, an external pair of resistors is required.
Refer to the below equation for the program-
ming of the output voltage::
V
OUT
= V
REF
x ( 1 + R
1
/ R
2
)+ I
FB
R
1
The V
REF
is 1.235 and I
FB
is the feedback bias
current, nominally -20nA. The minimum rec-
ommended load current of 1µA forces an upper
limit of 1.2MΩ on value of R
2
. If no load is
presented the I
FB
produces an error of typically
2% in V
OUT
, which may be eliminated at room
temperature by trimming R
1
. To improve the
accuracy choose the value of R
2
= 100k; this
reduces the error by 0.17% and increases the
resistor program current by 12µA. Since the
SPX2920 typically draws 60
µA
at no load with
Pin 2 open-circuited this is a small price to pay.
Reducing Output Noise
It may be an advantage to reduce the AC noise
present at the output. One way is to reduce the
regulator bandwidth by increasing the size of
the output capacitor. This is the only way that
noise can be reduced on the 3 lead SPX2920 but
is relatively inefficient, as increasing the ca-
pacitor from 1µF to 220µF only decreases the
noise from 430µV to 160µV Vrms for a 100kHz
bandwidth at 5V output.
Noise could also be reduced fourfold by a by-
pass capacitor across R
1
, since it reduces the
high frequency gain from 4 to unity. Pick

BYPASS

/ 2πR

x 200 Hz
or choose 0.01µF. When doing this, the output
capacitor must be increased to 3.3µF to main-
tain stability. These changes reduce the output
noise from 430µV to 100µV Vrms for a 100kHz
bandwidth at 5V output. With the bypass ca-
pacitor added, noise no longer scales with out-
put voltage so that improvements are more dra-
matic at higher output voltages.
