The dropout voltage at 1-A load current is typically 0.6 V and an ensured worst-case maximum of 1 V over the entire operating temperature range. The quiescent current is typically 1 mA with 1-A load current and an input-output voltage differential greater than 3 V. A unique circuit design of the internal bias supply limits the quiescent current to only 9 mA (typical) when the regulator is in the dropout mode (VOUT - VIN 3 V). Output voltage accuracy is ensured to 5% over load and temperature extremes. The LM2990 also implements short-circuit proof, and thermal shutdown includes hysteresis to enhance the reliability of the device when overloaded for an extended period of time. All these features make the LM2990 an ideal negative power supply suited for dual supply systems. The device may also be used as fixed or adjustable current sink load. The LM2990 is available in two 3-pin packages and is rated for operation over the junction temperature range of -40C to 125C. Device Information(1) * and **: Required for stability. Must be at least a 10-F aluminum electrolytic or a 1F solid tantalum to maintain stability. May be increased without bound to maintain regulation during transients. Locate the capacitor as close as possible to the regulator. The equivalent series resistance (ESR) is critical, and should be less than 10 over the same operating temperature range as the regulator.

The LM2990 is a negative power supply ideally suited for a dual-supply system when using together with LM2940 series. The device may also be used as a fixed or adjustable current sink load. 7.2 Functional Block Diagram Pass Device IN OUT Reference Error Amp GND 7.3 Feature Description 7.3.1 Fixed Output-Voltage Options The LM2990 provides 4 fixed output options: -5 V, -5.2 V, -12 V, and -15 V. Output voltage accuracy is ensured to 5% over load and temperature extremes. 7.3.2 Low Dropout Voltage Generally speaking, the dropout voltage (VDO) refers to the voltage difference between the IN pin and the OUT pin when the PNP pass element is fully on and is characterized by the classic Collector-to-Emitter saturation voltage, VCE(SAT). VDO indirectly specifies a minimum input voltage above the nominal programmed output voltage at which the output voltage is expected to remain within its accuracy boundary. 7.3.3 Short Circuit Protection (Current Limit) The internal current limit circuit is used to protect the LDO against high-load current faults or shorting events. The LDO is not designed to operate in a steady-state current limit. During a current-limit event, the LDO sources constant current. Therefore, the output voltage falls when load impedance decreases. Note also that if a current limit occurs and the resulting output voltage is low, excessive power may be dissipated across the LDO, resulting in a thermal shutdown of the output. A fold back feature limits the short-circuit current to protect the regulator from damage under all load conditions. If OUT is forced below 0 V before EN goes high, and the load current required exceeds the fold back current limit, the device may not start up correctly. 10 Submit Documentation Feedback Copyright (c) 1999-2015, Texas Instruments Incorporated Product Folder Links: LM2990 LM2990 www.ti.com SNVS093G - JUNE 1999 - REVISED MAY 2015 Feature Description (continued) 7.3.4 Thermal Protection The device contains a thermal shutdown protection circuit to turn off the output current when excessive heat is dissipated in the LDO. The thermal time-constant of the semiconductor die is fairly short, and thus the output cycles on and off at a high rate when thermal shutdown is reached until the power dissipation is reduced. The internal protection circuitry of the device is designed to protect against thermal overload conditions. The circuitry is not intended to replace proper heat sinking. Continuously running the device into thermal shutdown degrades its reliability. 7.4 Device Functional Modes 7.4.1 Operation with VOUT(TARGET) -5 V VIN > -26 V The device operates if the input voltage is within VOUT(TARGET) -5 V to -26 V range. At input voltages beyond the VIN requirement, the devices do not operate correctly, and output voltage may not reach target value.

TI's customers are responsible for determining suitability of components for their purposes. Customers should validate and test their design implementation to confirm system functionality. 8.1 Application Information The LM2990 is a 1-A negative voltage regulator with an operating VIN range of -6 V to -26 V, and a regulated VOUT having 5% accuracy with a maximum rated IOUT current of 1 A. Efficiency is defined by the ratio of output voltage to input voltage because the LM2990 is a linear voltage regulator. To achieve high efficiency, the dropout voltage (VIN - VOUT) must be as small as possible, thus requiring a very low dropout LDO. Successfully implementing an LDO in an application depends on the application requirements. If the requirements are simply input voltage and output voltage, compliance specifications (such as internal power dissipation or stability) must be verified to ensure a solid design. If timing, start-up, noise, PSRR, or any other transient specification is required, the design becomes more challenging. 8.2 Typical Application 8.2.1 -5 V Post Regulator for an Isolated Switching Power Supply Figure 20. Post Regulator for an Isolated Switching Power Supply 8.2.1.1 Design Requirements For this design example, use the parameters listed in Table 1 as the input parameters. Table 1. Design Parameters DESIGN PARAMETER DESIGN REQUIREMENT Input voltage -10 V, provided by the DC-DC converter switching at 1 MHz Output voltage -5 V, 10% Output current 5 mA to 400 mA RMS noise, 10 Hz to 100 kHz < 1 mVRMS, IOUT = 5 mA PSRR at 1KHz > 45 dB, IOUT = 5 mA 8.2.1.2 Detailed Design Procedure At 400-mA loading, the dropout of the LM2990 has 1-V maximum dropout over temperature, thus an -5 V headroom is sufficient for operation over both input and output voltage accuracy. The efficiency of the LM2990 in this configuration is VOUT / VIN = 50%. To achieve the smallest form factor, the TO-263(KTT) package is selected. Input and output capacitors should be selected in accordance with the External Capacitors section. Aluminum capacitances of 470 F for the input and 50-F capacitors for the output are selected. With an efficiency of 50% and a 400-mA maximum load, the internal power dissipation is 2000 mW, which corresponds to 82.5C junction temperature rise for the TO-263 package. With an 25C ambient temperature, the junction temperature is at 107.5C. 12 Submit Documentation Feedback Copyright (c) 1999-2015, Texas Instruments Incorporated Product Folder Links: LM2990 LM2990 www.ti.com SNVS093G - JUNE 1999 - REVISED MAY 2015 8.2.1.2.1 External Capacitors The LM2990 regulator requires an output capacitor to maintain stability. The capacitor must be at least 10-F aluminum electrolytic or 1-F solid tantalum. The equivalent series resistance (ESR) of the output capacitor must be less than 10 , or the zero added to the regulator frequency response by the ESR could reduce the phase margin, creating oscillations. An input capacitor, of at least 1-F solid tantalum or 10-F aluminum electrolytic, is also needed if the regulator is situated more than 6 from the input power supply filter. 8.2.1.2.2 Forcing The Output Positive Due to an internal clamp circuit, the LM2990 can withstand positive voltages on its output. If the voltage source pulling the output positive is DC, the current must be limited to 1.5 A. A current over 1.5 A fed back into the LM2990 could damage the device. The LM2990 output can also withstand fast positive voltage transients up to 26V, without any current limiting of the source. However, if the transients have a duration of over 1 ms, the output should be clamped with a Schottky diode to ground. Figure 21. Output Capacitor ESR 8.2.1.3 Application Curves Figure 22. LM2990-5 Line Transient Response Figure 23. LM2990-5 Load Transient Response 8.2.2 Fixed or Adjustable Current Sink The LM2990 is configurable as a fixed or adjustable current sink. As Figure 24 and Figure 25 show, the sink current is determined by the resistor value -- to achieve adjustable sink current, add one adjustable resistor between output and load.

The input voltage range should provides adequate headroom in order for the device to have a regulated output. This input supply must be well regulated. 14 Submit Documentation Feedback Copyright (c) 1999-2015, Texas Instruments Incorporated Product Folder Links: LM2990 LM2990 www.ti.com SNVS093G - JUNE 1999 - REVISED MAY 2015 10 Layout 10.1 Layout Guidelines For best overall performance, place all circuit components on the same side of the circuit board and as near as practical to the respective LDO pin connections. Place ground return connections to the input and output capacitor, and to the LDO ground pin as close to each other as possible, connected by a wide, component-side, copper surface. The use of vias and long traces to create LDO circuit connections is strongly discouraged and negatively affects system performance. This grounding and layout scheme minimizes inductive parasitics, and thereby reduces load-current transients, minimizes noise, and increases circuit stability. A ground reference plane is also recommended and is either embedded in the PCB itself or located on the bottom side of the PCB opposite the components. This reference plane serves to assure accuracy of the output voltage, shield noise, and behaves similar to a thermal plane to spread (or sink) heat from the LDO device. In most applications, this ground plane is necessary to meet thermal requirements. 10.2 Layout Example INPUT 2 3 OUT GND IN 1 + Input Capacitor VIN + Output VOUT Capacitor Figure 26.

LIFEBUY: TI has announced that the device will be discontinued, and a lifetime-buy period is in effect. NRND: Not recommended for new designs. Device is in production to support existing customers, but TI does not recommend using this part in a new design. PREVIEW: Device has been announced but is not in production. Samples may or may not be available. OBSOLETE: TI has discontinued the production of the device. (2) Eco Plan - The planned eco-friendly classification: Pb-Free (RoHS), Pb-Free (RoHS Exempt), or Green (RoHS & no Sb/Br) - please check http://www.ti.com/productcontent for the latest availability information and additional product content details. TBD: The Pb-Free/Green conversion plan has not been defined. Pb-Free (RoHS): TI's terms "Lead-Free" or "Pb-Free" mean semiconductor products that are compatible with the current RoHS requirements for all 6 substances, including the requirement that lead not exceed 0.1% by weight in homogeneous materials. Where designed to be soldered at high temperatures, TI Pb-Free products are suitable for use in specified lead-free processes. Pb-Free (RoHS Exempt): This component has a RoHS exemption for either 1) lead-based flip-chip solder bumps used between the die and package, or 2) lead-based die adhesive used between the die and leadframe. The component is otherwise considered Pb-Free (RoHS compatible) as defined above. Green (RoHS & no Sb/Br): TI defines "Green" to mean Pb-Free (RoHS compatible), and free of Bromine (Br) and Antimony (Sb) based flame retardants (Br or Sb do not exceed 0.1% by weight in homogeneous material) (3) MSL, Peak Temp. - The Moisture Sensitivity Level rating according to the JEDEC industry standard classifications, and peak solder temperature. (4) There may be additional marking, which relates to the logo, the lot trace code information, or the environmental category on the device. (5) Multiple Device Markings will be inside parentheses. Only one Device Marking contained in parentheses and separated by a "~" will appear on a device. If a line is indented then it is a continuation of the previous line and the two combined represent the entire Device Marking for that device. (6) Lead/Ball Finish - Orderable Devices may have multiple material finish options. Finish options are separated by a vertical ruled line. Lead/Ball Finish values may wrap to two lines if the finish value exceeds the maximum column width.
