LM340/LM78XX Series

3-Terminal Positive Regulators

General Description
The
LM140/LM340A/LM340/LM78XXC
monolithic
3-terminal positive voltage regulators employ internal
current-limiting, thermal shutdown and safe-area compensation, making them essentially indestructible. If adequate heat
sinking is provided, they can deliver over 1.0A output current. They are intended as fixed voltage regulators in a wide
range of applications including local (on-card) regulation for
elimination of noise and distribution problems associated
with single-point regulation. In addition to use as fixed voltage regulators, these devices can be used with external
components to obtain adjustable output voltages and currents.
Considerable effort was expended to make the entire series
of regulators easy to use and minimize the number of external components. It is not necessary to bypass the output,
although this does improve transient response. Input bypassing is needed only if the regulator is located far from the
filter capacitor of the power supply.

The 5V, 12V, and 15V regulator options are available in the
steel TO-3 power package. The LM340A/LM340/LM78XXC
series is available in the TO-220 plastic power package, and
the LM340-5.0 is available in the SOT-223 package, as well
as the LM340-5.0 and LM340-12 in the surface-mount TO263 package.

Features
n Complete specifications at 1A load
n Output voltage tolerances of 2% at Tj = 25C and 4%
over the temperature range (LM340A)
n Line regulation of 0.01% of VOUT/V of VIN at 1A load
(LM340A)
n Load regulation of 0.3% of VOUT/A (LM340A)
n Internal thermal overload protection
n Internal short-circuit current limit
n Output transistor safe area protection
n P+ Product Enhancement tested

*Required if the regulator is located far from the power supply filter.

VOUT = 5V + (5V/R1 + IQ) R2 5V/R1 > 3 IQ,

load regulation (Lr) [(R1 + R2)/R1] (Lr of LM340-5).

**Although no output capacitor is needed for stability, it does help transient

response. (If needed, use 0.1 F, ceramic disc).

Note 1: Absolute Maximum Ratings are limits beyond which damage to the device may occur. Operating Conditions are conditions under which the device functions
but the specifications might not be guaranteed. For guaranteed specifications and test conditions see the Electrical Characteristics.
Note 2: The maximum allowable power dissipation at any ambient temperature is a function of the maximum junction temperature for operation (TJMAX = 125C or
150C), the junction-to-ambient thermal resistance (JA), and the ambient temperature (TA). PDMAX = (TJMAX TA)/JA. If this dissipation is exceeded, the die
temperature will rise above TJMAX and the electrical specifications do not apply. If the die temperature rises above 150C, the device will go into thermal shutdown.
For the TO-3 package (K, KC), the junction-to-ambient thermal resistance (JA) is 39C/W. When using a heatsink, JA is the sum of the 4C/W junction-to-case
thermal resistance (JC) of the TO-3 package and the case-to-ambient thermal resistance of the heatsink. For the TO-220 package (T), JA is 54C/W and JC is
4C/W. If SOT-223 is used, the junction-to-ambient thermal resistance is 174C/W and can be reduced by a heatsink (see Applications Hints on heatsinking).
If the TO-263 package is used, the thermal resistance can be reduced by increasing the PC board copper area thermally connected to the package: Using 0.5 square
inches of copper area, JA is 50C/W; with 1 square inch of copper area, JAis 37C/W; and with 1.6 or more inches of copper area, JA is 32C/W.
Note 3: ESD rating is based on the human body model, 100 pF discharged through 1.5 k.
Note 4: All characteristics are measured with a 0.22 F capacitor from input to ground and a 0.1 F capacitor from output to ground. All characteristics except noise
voltage and ripple rejection ratio are measured using pulse techniques (tw 10 ms, duty cycle 5%). Output voltage changes due to changes in internal temperature
must be taken into account separately.
Note 5: Military datasheets are available upon request. At the time of printing, the military datasheet specifications for the LM140K-5.0/883, LM140K-12/883, and
LM140K-15/883 complied with the min and max limits for the respective versions of the LM140. The LM140H and LM140K may also be procured as JAN devices
on slash sheet JM38510/107.

LM340/LM78XX

Application Hints
The LM340/LM78XX series is designed with thermal protection, output short-circuit protection and output transistor safe
area protection. However, as with any IC regulator, it becomes necessary to take precautions to assure that the
regulator is not inadvertently damaged. The following describes possible misapplications and methods to prevent
damage to the regulator.
SHORTING THE REGULATOR INPUT
When using large capacitors at the output of these regulators, a protection diode connected input to output (Figure 1)
may be required if the input is shorted to ground. Without the
protection diode, an input short will cause the input to rapidly
approach ground potential, while the output remains near
the initial VOUTbecause of the stored charge in the large
output capacitor. The capacitor will then discharge through a
large internal input to output diode and parasitic transistors.
If the energy released by the capacitor is large enough, this
diode, low current metal and the regulator will be destroyed.
The fast diode in Figure 1 will shunt most of the capacitors
discharge current around the regulator. Generally no protection diode is required for values of output capacitance 10
F.

RAISING THE OUTPUT VOLTAGE ABOVE THE INPUT

VOLTAGE
Since the output of the device does not sink current, forcing
the output high can cause damage to internal low current
paths in a manner similar to that just described in the Shorting the Regulator Input section.

FIGURE 2. Regulator Floating Ground

REGULATOR FLOATING GROUND (Figure 2)

When the ground pin alone becomes disconnected, the
output approaches the unregulated input, causing possible
damage to other circuits connected to VOUT. If ground is
reconnected with power ON, damage may also occur to the
regulator. This fault is most likely to occur when plugging in
regulators or modules with on card regulators into powered
up sockets. Power should be turned off first, thermal limit
ceases operating, or ground should be connected first if
power must be left on.
TRANSIENT VOLTAGES
If transients exceed the maximum rated input voltage of the
device, or reach more than 0.8V below ground and have
sufficient energy, they will damage the regulator. The solution is to use a large input capacitor, a series input breakdown diode, a choke, a transient suppressor or a combination of these.

FIGURE 3. Transients
When a value for (HA) is found using the equation shown,
a heatsink must be selected that has a value that is less than
or equal to this number.
(HA) is specified numerically by the heatsink manufacturer
in this catalog, or shown in a curve that plots temperature
rise vs power dissipation for the heatsink.

Figures 6, 7 show the information for the SOT-223 package.

Figure 6 assumes a (JA) of 74C/W for 1 ounce copper and
51C/W for 2 ounce copper and a maximum junction temperature of 125C.

HEATSINKING TO-263 AND SOT-223 PACKAGE PARTS

Both the TO-263 (S) and SOT-223 (MP) packages use a
copper plane on the PCB and the PCB itself as a heatsink.
To optimize the heat sinking ability of the plane and PCB,
solder the tab of the plane.
shows for the TO-263 the measured values of (JA) for
different copper area sizes using a typical PCB with 1 ounce
copper and no solder mask over the copper area used for
heatsinking.

FIGURE 4. (JA) vs Copper (1 ounce)

Area for the TO-263 Package
As shown in the figure, increasing the copper area beyond 1
square inch produces very little improvement. It should also
be observed that the minimum value of (JA) for the TO-263
package mounted to a PCB is 32C/W.
As a design aid, Figure 5 shows the maximum allowable
power dissipation compared to ambient temperature for the
TO-263 device (assuming (JA) is 35C/W and the maximum junction temperature is 125C).
