RP108J Series

Low Input Voltage 3A LDO Regulator

NO.EA-203-150817

OUTLINE
The RP108J is a CMOS-based voltage regulator IC featuring 3A output with low ON-resistance.
The RP108J consists of a voltage reference unit, an error amplifier, resistor-net for voltage setting, a fold-back
protection circuit, and a thermal shutdown circuit. The RP108J features both low supply current and high output
current, and the dropout voltage is much smaller than bi-polar's. The minimum input voltage is as low as 1.6V
and the output voltage can be set from 0.8V, therefore it can be connected with the DC/DC converter as the latter
power supply for high density LSI that is operated by low output voltage.
The output voltage of RP108J081x is externally adjustable by using external divide resistors. The CE pin of the
RP108J can switch the regulator to standby mode. In addition to a fold-back protection circuit, which is already
built in the conventional regulators, The RP108J contains a thermal shutdown circuit, a constant slope circuit as
a soft-start function and a reverse current protection circuit. Ceramic capacitors can be used.

TECHNICAL NOTES

When using the RP108J as an internally fixed output voltage type, please connect the VOUT pin to the VFB pin.
However, when using it as the Adjustable Output Voltage Type, The output voltage of the externally adjustable
output voltage type should be set to 4.2V or less. Also, total resistors value of R1 and R2 should be 20kΩ or less.

Phase Compensation
In the IC, phase compensation is made for securing stable operation even if the load current is varied. For this
purpose, use a 10μF or more capacitor C2.
In case of using a tantalum capacitor and its ESR is large, the output may be unstable. Therefore, select C2
carefully considering its frequency characteristics.
The recommended temperature characteristics for C1 and C2 capacitors are the followings.
⋅ B Characteristics: Temperature range from −25°C to 85°C, Capacitance change of ±10%
⋅ X5R Characteristics: Temperature range from −55°C to 85°C, Capacitance change of ±15%
⋅ X7R Characteristics: Temperature range from −55°C to 125°C, Capacitance change of ±15%
The recommended capacitor’s tolerable voltage is twice as large as the voltage of use (C1: Input voltage,
C2: Output voltage). The upper limit of the capacitance value for C2 is 100µF.
However, the increase of C2 leads to the increase of inrush current. Refer to CONSTANT SLOPE CIRCUIT for
detailed information.

PCB Layout
Make VDD and GND lines sufficient. If their impedance is high, noise pickup or unstable operation may result.
Connect a capacitor C1 with a capacitance value as much as 10μF or more between VDD and GND pin, and
as close as possible to the pins.
Set external components, especially the output capacitor C2, as close as possible to the ICs and make wiring
as short as possible.

Transient Response
When using the Adjustable Output Voltage Type, the transient response could be affected by the external
resistors. Evaluate the circuit taking the actual conditions of use into account.

ADUSTABLE OUTPUT VOLTAGE TYPE SETTINGS

• Output Voltage Setting Method
RP108J081x can be adjusted the output voltage by using the external divider resistors.
If the VFB voltage fixed into the IC is described as SetVFB, the output voltage can be set by using the following
equations
SetVFB is equal to 0.8V. The VOUT pin of RP108J081x should be connected to the VFB pin.

I1= IIC + I2 .................................................................................................................................. (1)

I2= SetVFB / R2......................................................................................................................... (2)
Thus,
I1= IIC + SetVFB /R2.................................................................................................................... (3)
Therefore,
VOUT= SetVFB × R1 × I1 ............................................................................................................ (4)
Put Equation (3) into Equation (4), then
VOUT ........................................................................................................................................................= SetVFB + R1(IIC + SetVFB / R2)
= SetVFB × (1+R1/ R2) + R1 × IIC....................................................................................... (5)
In Equation (5), R1x IIC is the error-causing factor in VOUT.
As for IIC,
IIC= SetVFB / RIC ........................................................................................................................ (6)
Therefore, the error-causing factor R1x IIC can be described as follows.
R1×IIC .................................................................................................................................................................................... = R1 × SetVFB / RIC
= SetVFB × R1 / RIC ......................................................................................................... (7)
For better accuracy, choosing R1 (<<RIC) reduces this error.
Without the error-causing factor R1x IIC, the output voltage can be calculated by the following equation
VOUT = SetVFB × ((R1 + R2) / R2) ............................................................................................. (8)

RIC of RP108J is approximately Typ.1.6MΩ (Ta=25°C, this value is guaranteed by design.).

The value could be affected by the temperature, therefore evaluate the circuit taking the actual conditions of
use into account.

REVERSE CURRENT PROTECTION CIRCUIT

The RP108J includes a Reverse Current Protection Circuit, which stops the reverse current from VOUT pin to
VDD pin or to GND pin when VOUT becomes higher than VIN.
Usually, the LDO using Pch output transistor contains a parasitic diode between VDD pin and VOUT pin.
Therefore, if VOUT is higher than VIN, the parasitic diode becomes forward direction. As a result, the current flows
from VOUT pin to VDD pin.
The RP108J switches the mode to the reverse current protection mode before VIN becomes lower than VOUT
by connecting the parasitic diode of Pch output transistor to the backward direction, and connecting the gate to
VOUT pin. As a result, the Pch output transistor is turned off and the all the current pathways from VOUT pin to GND
pin are shut down to maintain the reverse current lower than 10µA.
Switching to either the normal mode or to the reverse current protection mode is determined by the magnitude
of VIN voltage and VOUT voltage. For the stable operation, offset and hysteresis are set as the threshold. Offset is
set to 30mV (Typ.25°C) and hysteresis is set to 5mV (Typ.25°C).
Therefore, the minimum dropout voltage under the small load current condition is restricted by the value of
35mV (Typ.25°C).
Fig.1 and Fig.2 show the diagrams of each mode, and Fig.3 shows the load characteristics of each mode.
When giving the VOUT pin a constant-voltage and decreasing the VIN voltage, the dropout voltage will become
lower than 30mV (Typ.25°C). As a result, the reverse current protection starts to function to stop the load current.
By increasing the dropout voltage higher than 35mV (Typ.25°C), the protection mode will be released to let the
load current to flow. If the dropout voltage to be used is lower than 30mV (Typ.25°C), the detection and the
release may be repeated.

CONSTANT SLOPE CIRCUIT (RP108Jxx1B/xx1D)

RP108Jxx1B/xx1D has a Constant Slope Circuit (soft-start circuit) which allows the output voltage to start-up
gradually. The capacitor to create the start-up slope is built-in the IC so that it does not require any external
components. The upper limit of inrush current during the start-up is controlled by the short current ISC and the
output current limit ILIM.
In the following characteristics COUT = 10 µF (RLOAD = 380Ω), the inrush current IRUSH is not controlled by the
short current ISC and the output current limit ILIM. Therefore the output voltage rises with the soft-start time
(TSLOPE) set inside IC, and it enables to control the overshoot of the output voltage and the inrush current. TSLOPE
is typ. 180 µs.
In the characteristics COUT = 20 µF, IRUSH at the low output voltage is controlled by the short current ISC. After
the current is released from ISC, the output voltage rises with the soft-start time (TSLOPE).
In the characteristics COUT = 100 µF, IRUSH at the low output voltage is controlled by the short current ISC.
After the current is released from ISC, it is controlled by the output current limit. The output voltage rises with
the soft-start time (TSLOPE) or longer.
The relation of the inrush current and the constant slope depends on the output voltage since the inrush
current is a sum of the charge current of COUT and the load current. Use RP108Jxx1E/xx1F to avoid an
influence on peripheral components due to the inrush current generated in the use environment conditions
(COUT and output voltage).

CONSTANT SLOPE CIRCUIT (RP108Jxx1E/xx1F)

RP108Jxx1E/xx1F has a constant slope circuit (soft-start circuit) which allows the output voltage to start-up
gradually. The capacitor to create the start-up slope is built-in the IC so that it does not require any external
components. The upper limit of inrush current during the start-up is controlled by the output current limit ILIM.
As shown in the following Foldback Characteristics, the inrush current is not controlled by the short current
ISC during the soft-start time at the start-up. Therefore the output voltage rises with the soft-start time (TSLOPE)
set inside IC, and it enables to control the overshoot of the output voltage and the inrush current. TSLOPE is typ.
570 µs (max. 900 µs/85°C). Use RP108Jxx1B/xx1D to avoid an influence on peripheral components due to the
output start-up time is slow in the system.
In the characteristics COUT = 20 µF, the inrush current is lower or equal to the output current limit ILIM. The
output voltage rises with the soft-start time (TSLOPE).
Similarly in the characteristics COUT = 100 µF, the inrush current is lower or equal to the output current limit
ILIM. The output voltage rises with the soft-start time (TSLOPE).
The relation of the inrush current and the constant slope depends on the output voltage since the inrush current
is a sum of the charge current of COUT and the load current.
