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 20V 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,
ja
, 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
ja
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.

Application Information
Application Information
The TS39150 series are high performance with low
dropout voltage regulator suitable for moderate to high
current and voltage regulator application. Its
400mA(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 TS39150 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.
Typical Application Circuit
Capacitor Requirement
The TS39150 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. TS39150 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 improved transient response,
ripple rejection and output noise.
Minimum Load Current
The TS39150 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.
Thermal Characteristics
TS39150 series linear regulators are simple to use, the
most complicated design parameters to consider are
thermal characteristics, thermal design requires the
following application specification parameters:
Maximum ambient temperature, Ta
Output current, Iout
Output voltage, Vout
Input voltage, Vin
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.
The below formula shows the voltages and currents for
calculating the P
D
in the regulator:
Iin = I
L
/ I
G
P
D
= (Vin-Vout) * I
L
+ (Vin) * I
G
Ex. P
D
= (3.3V-2.5V) * 1.5A + 3.3V * 11mA
= 1200mW + 36mW
= 1236mW
Remark: I
L
is output load current,
I
G
is ground current.
Vin is input voltage
Vout is output voltage
The next parameter which must be calculated is the
maximum allowable temperature rise, T
R
(max). this is
calculated by the using to formula:
T
R
(max) = T
J
(max) T
A
(max)
Where: T
J
(max) is the maximum allowable junction
temperature, which is 125
o
C for commercial
grade parts.
T
A
(max) is the maximum ambient
temperature which will be encountered in the
application.

Application Information (continues)
Using the calculated values for T
R
(max) and P
D
, the
maximum allowable value for the junction to ambient
thermal resistance, ja, can now be found:
ja = T
R
(max) / P
D
IMPORTANT: if the maximum allowable value for is
found to be 60
o
C/W for the TO-220 package, 80
o
C/W for the TO-263 package, no heatsink is needed
since the package alone will dissipate enough heat to
satisfy these requirements. If the calculated value for
ja falls below these limits, a heatsink is required.
