Application information
Figure 26. L4995 application schematic
The input capacitor Cs > 200nF is necessary for the smoothing of line disturbances. The
output capacitor C01 > 100nF is necessary for the stability of the regulation loop. In order to
dampen output voltage oscillations during high load current surges, it is recommended an
additional electrolytic capacitor C02 > 10µF to be placed at the output pin.
Voltage regulator
Voltage regulator uses a p-channel transistor as a regulating element. With this structure,
very low dropout voltage at current up to 500mA is obtained. The output voltage is regulated
up to transient input supply voltage of 40V. No functional interruption due to over-voltage
pulses is generated. A short circuit protection to GND is provided.
The voltage regulator is active when En is high.
