(1) The voltage rating of the input capacitor must be selected for the desired operating input voltage range of the regulator. To operate the
regulator at a higher input voltage, select a capacitor with the next higher voltage rating.
(2) The maximum rating of the ceramic capacitor limits the regulator operating input voltage to 20 V. Select a alternative ceramic
component to operate at a higher input voltage.
(3) A total capacitance of 2 µF is an acceptable replacement value for a single 2.2-µF ceramic capacitor
Output Voltage Sense
An external output voltage sense improves the load regulation performance of the module by enabling it to
compensate for any IR-voltage drop between the module and the load circuit. This voltage drop is caused by the
flow of current through the resistance in the printed-circuit board connections.
To use the output voltage sense feature, simply connect the V
O
Sense input (pin 5) to V
O
, close to the device
that draws the most supply current. If an external voltage sense is not desired, the V
O
Sense input may be left
open circuit. An internal resistor (15 Ω or less), connected between this input and V
O
, ensures that the output
remains in regulation.
With V
O
Sense connected, the difference between the voltage measured directly between the V
O
and GND, and
that measured from V
O
Sense to GND, represents the amount of IR-voltage drop being compensated by the
regulator. This should be limited to a maximum of 0.3 V.
Note: The external voltage sense is not designed to compensate for the forward drop of nonlinear or
frequency-dependent components that may be placed in series with the regulator's output. Examples include
OR-ing diodes, filter inductors, ferrite beads, and fuses. When these components are enclosed by the external
sense connection, they are effectively placed inside the regulation control loop. This can adversely affect the
stability of the module.
Undervoltage Lockout
The undervoltage lockout (UVLO) circuit prevents the module from attempting to power up until the input voltage
is above the UVLO threshold. This is to prevent the module from drawing excessive current from the input source
at power up. Below the UVLO threshold, the module is held off.
