Description
L6935 is an ultra low drop output linear regulator operating up to 5 V input and is able to support output current up to 3 A. Designed with an internal low-R
DS(on)
N-channel MOSFET, it can be used for on-board DC-DC conversions saving in real estate, list of components and power dissipation.
Bias input and power input are split to allow linear conversion from buses lower than 1.2 V minimizing power losses.
L6935 provides the application with an adjustable voltage from 0.5 V to 3.0 V with a voltage regulation accuracy of 1 %. soft-start is available to program the output voltage rise-time according to the external capacitor connected.
Enable and Power Good functions make L6935 suitable for complex systems and programmable start-up sequencing.
The current limit at 3 A protects the system during a short circuit. The current is sensed in the power
DMOS in order to limit the power dissipation.
Thermal shut down limits the internal temperature at 150 °C with a hysteresis of 20 °C.

5.1 Soft-start
L6935 implements a soft-start feature to smoothly charge the output filter avoiding high inrush currents to be required to the input power supply.
The soft-start process begins as soon as V
A constant current I
SS
BIAS
reaches UVLO and ENABLE is asserted.
= 1.0
µA is sourced through the SS pin: connecting an external capacitor (C
SS
) to this pin a voltage ramp is implemented; the voltage ramp internally clamps the E.A. reference, resulting in a controlled slope for the output voltage. As the voltage on C
SS
reaches the V
REF
value the internal clamp is released.
In this way, the soft-start process lasts for:

If the device is disabled (ENABLE low) and the VBIAS is still present, the SS pin is clamped to GND for a fixed time of about 50
µs. in order to discharge the residual charge present on

: in this way, the device will be ready for a new SS process as ENABLE is asserted again.

L6935 provides the flexibility to supply the internal logic (VBIAS) with a supply different than the power input (VIN). The aim of this feature is to provide low-drop regulation still having the supply voltage to correctly drive the internal power mosfet so optimizing the conversion.

5.4 Protections
L6935 is equipped with a set of protections in order to protect both the load and the device from electrical overstress. Each protection does not latch the device, that returns to work properly as the perturbation disappear.
An over current protection is provided: if the current that flows through the power DMOS is greater than 3.5 A, the device adjust the power DMOS driving voltage in order to keep constant the delivered current (I

Application information L6935
L6935 is the best choice in smart linear regulator applications, due to its own small size, high power delivered and high regulation accuracy. Furthermore thermal shut-down and
OCP guarantee the highest reliability for each application.
V
IN
can be separated by V
BIAS
: in this way the device can regulate the output voltage even if
V
IN
< V
BIAS
, resulting in a better performance. In fact, the power dissipated decreases as
V
IN
get lower, according to the relationship P
DISS
= (V
IN
- V
OUT
) x I
OUT
.
The choice of the input capacitor value depends on the several factor such as load transient requirements, input source (battery or DC/DC converter) and its distance from the input capacitor. Generally speaking, a capacitor with the lowest ESR possible should be chosen: a value within the range [10
µF; 100 µF] can be sufficient in many cases.
The choice of the output capacitor value basically depends on the load transient requirement. Output capacitor must be sized according to the dynamic requests of the load.
A too small capacitor may exhibit huge voltage drop after a load transient is applied: a value greater than 10
µF should be used.
In order to guarantee a good reliability, at least X5R type should be used as I/O capacitors.
Different kinds of input/output capacitors can be used:

VIN, VBIAS and sequencing
Different configurations for VIN and VBIAS are possibleand the power sequencing must consider the different timings in which the power suppliesbecomes available. In order to properly drive the device internal logic, it is reccomendedto control the sequence between
EN signal and the VIN / VBIAS application: the device need to result being disabled when
VBIAS crosses the UVLO threshols. Furthermore, in case of VIN <> VBIAS, the EN signal needs to be driven by the last-coming between the two supplies.
It is reccomended to drive the EN pin with a resistor divider connected as reported into
