Transient Response and 3.3V to 2.5V or 2.5V to 1.8V Conversion
TS39100 has excellent transient response to variations in input voltage and load current. The device have been
designed to respond quickly to load current variations and input voltage variations. Large output capacitors are not
required to obtain this performance. A standard 10uF output capacitor, preferably tantalum, is all that is required.
Larger values help to improve performance even further. By virtue of its low dropout voltage, this device does not
saturate into dropout as readily as similar NPN base designs. When converting from 3.3V to 2.5V or 2.5V to 1.8V, the
NPN based regulators are already operating in dropout, with typical dropout requirements of 1.2V or greater,. To
convert down to 2.5V or 1.8V without operating in dropout, NPN based regulators require an input voltage of 3.7V at
the very least. The TS39100 will provide excellent performance with an input as low as 3.0V or 2.5V respectively. This
gives the PNP based regulators a distinct advantage over older, NPN based linear regulators.
Copper area lay out information
Determine the power dissipation requirements for the design along with the maximum ambient temperature at which
the device will be operated. Refer to power dissipation with copper area curve, which shows safe operating curves for
