Notes:

(2) Above 225°C (T

(3) Max Power dissipation depends on packaging. CHT-LDN in TO-3 or TO-254 packages presents a “junction-to-
case” thermal resistance of maximum 5°C/W (Rth).
(4) ppm are defined as [d(Vout)/d(T)]/Vout. For -15V mode, 40ppm correspond to -600µV/°C.
(5) Defining “x” as the nominal voltage, the line regulation is better than
x/5
mV/V for |Vin|>14V and better than
x
mV/V for |Vin|≤14V.
(6) This includes the packaging parasitic resistor.
(7) Defining “x” as the nominal voltage, the typical quiescent current at 2V dropout can be approximated as
2.575+
x
*0.035 (mA) @ -55°C and 2.645+
x
*0.057 (mA) @ 225°C.
(8) Defining “x” as the nominal voltage, the minimum power supply rejection ratio is …(tbd)…
(9) Defining “x” as the nominal voltage, typical noise level is …(tbd)…
(10) Short circuit current for 2.5V typical value is 1A and max value is 1.3A

Operating Conditions
Start-up conditions
The start-up is operative over the whole
temperature range as long as all loads are
connected to ground. The start-up is not
guaranteed if the positive regulator output
has a current path directly connected to a
negative voltage. Indeed, such load condi-
tion can lead to wrong activation of the
short-circuit protection, i.e. a bad start-up
or a bad recovering after short-circuit. In
this case, it is recommended to use our
CHT-LDOS regulator family instead of
CHT-LDOP regulator family.
Please refer to our application notes for
more details:
AN-06016:
“Selecting correct CIS-
SOID regulator depending on your ap-
plication”
AN-06002:
“Voltage regulator short-
circuit protection and associated po-
tential startup problem”.
Fast load current transients
Output voltage overshoots and under-
shoots are ~10% of the nominal regulated
voltage when C
Load
>22µF (ESR<1ohm)
and load current transients (10mA1A)
within 1µs. For transients longer than
10µs, load capacitance of 1µF is enough.
Power dissipation considerations
When determining the maximum power
dissipated by the regulator, not only the
dissipation during normal operation must
be considered, but also the power dissi-
pated during any eventual short circuit or
overload.
During short circuit or overload, worst case
conditions are normally found for maxi-
mum Vin and a shorting resistance in the
order of few Ohms.
Entering into short-circuit or overload con-
ditions with high input voltages Vin may
lead to extreme overheating, placing the
part above Absolute Maximum Rating
conditions.
Please refer to our application note for
more detail:
AN-090477:
“Power Dissipation Con-
siderations During Short Circuit Condi-
tions”
Shorting the regulator input
If the input terminal is shorted to ground
once the output capacitance has been
charged, a large current corresponding to
the discharge of the output capacitor will
flow from the output to the input through
the drain-body diode of the internal pass
transistor. This large current may cause
the permanent damage of the part.
Sinking current or raising the output
voltage above the input voltage can
cause permanent damage to the part.
Regulator floating ground
When the ground becomes disconnected,
the output voltage gets unregulated, caus-
ing possible damage to other circuits con-
nected to Vout. If the ground terminal is
reconnected while Vin is applied, perma-
nent damage may also occur to the regu-
lator. If a regulator needs to be reconnect-
ed with the power supply on, then connect
the ground terminal first.
