cause small signal oscillations at the output. This will

depend on the load conditions. With these types of loads, a

traditional output stage may be better suited for proper

operation.

Output 1 employs NOCAP. Refer to the plots in the Typical

Performance Characteristics section for appropriate output

capacitor selections for stability if an external capacitor is

required by the switching characteristics of the load. Output

2 has a Darlington NPN−type output structure and is

inherently stable with any type of capacitive load or no

capacitor at all.

Calculating Power Dissipation in a

Dual Output Linear Regulator

The maximum power dissipation for a dual output

regulator (Figure 24) is

PD(max) + VIN(max) * VOUT1(min) IOUT1(max) )

VIN(max) * VOUT2(min) IOUT2(max) ) VIN(max)IQ (1)

where:

VIN(max) is the maximum input voltage,

VOUT1(min) is the minimum output voltage from VOUT1,

VOUT2(min) is the minimum output voltage from VOUT2,

IOUT1(max) is the maximum output current, for the

application,

IOUT2(max) is the maximum output current, for the

application, and

IQ is the quiescent current the regulator consumes at

IOUT(max).

Once the value of PD(max) is known, the maximum

permissible value of RqJA can be calculated:

qJA +

150

°C * TA

(2)

The value of RqJA can be compared with those in the

package section of the data sheet. Those packages with

RqJA’s less than the calculated value in equation 2 will keep

the die temperature below 150

°C.

In some cases, none of the packages will be sufficient to

dissipate the heat generated by the IC, and an external

heatsink will be required.

Heat Sinks

A heat sink effectively increases the surface area of the

package to improve the flow of heat away from the IC and

into the surrounding air.

Each material in the heat flow path between the IC and the

outside environment will have a thermal resistance. Like

series electrical resistances, these resistances are summed to

determine the value of RqJA:

qJA + RqJC ) RqCS ) RqSA

(3)

where:

RqJC = the junction−to−case thermal resistance,

RqCS = the case−to−heatsink thermal resistance, and

RqSA = the heatsink−to−ambient thermal resistance.

RqJC appears in the package section of the data sheet. Like

RqJA, it too is a function of package type. RqCS and RqSA are

functions of the package type, heatsink and the interface

between them. These values appear in heat sink data sheets

of heat sink manufacturers.
