8 Application and Implementation

NOTE

Information in the following applications sections is not part of the TI component specification, and TI does not warrant its accuracy or completeness. TI’s customers are responsible for determining suitability of components for their purposes. Customers should validate and test their design implementation to confirm system functionality.

8.1 Application Information

The LM1086-MIL is versatile in its applications, including uses in programmable output regulation and local on-card regulation. By connecting a fixed resistor between the ADJ and OUTPUT terminals, the LM1086-MIL can function as a precision current regulator. An optional output capacitor can be added to improve transient response. The ADJ pin can be bypassed to achieve very high ripple-rejection ratios, which are difficult to achieve with standard three-terminal regulators. Note that, in the following applications if ADJ is mentioned, it makes use of the adjustable version of the part, however, if GND is mentioned, it is the fixed-voltage version of the part.

8.2 Typical Applications

8.2.1 1.2-V to 15-V Adjustable Regulator

This part can be used as a simple low drop out regulator to enable a variety of output voltages needed for demanding applications. By using an adjustable R2 resistor a variety of output voltages can be made possible as shown in Figure 18 based on the LM1086-MIL-ADJ.

8.2.1.1 Design Requirements

The device component count is very minimal, employing two resistors as part of a voltage divider circuit and an output capacitor for load regulation.

8.2.1.2 Detailed Design Procedure

The voltage divider for this part is set based Figure 18, where R1 is the upper feedback resistor R2 is the lower feedback resistor.

8.3 Other Applications

8.3.1 Adjustable at 5 V

The application shown in Figure 19 outlines a simple 5-V output application made possible by the LM1086-MIL-ADJ. This application can provide 1.5 A at high efficiencies and very low dropout.

8.3.2 5-V Regulator with Shutdown

A variation of the 5-V output regulator application with shutdown control is shown in Figure 20 based on the LM1086-MIL-ADJ. It uses a simple NPN transistor on the ADJ pin to block or sink the current on the ADJ pin. If the TTL logic is pulled high, the NPN transistor is activated and the device is disabled, outputting approximately 1.25 V. If the TTL logic is pulled low, the NPN transistor is unbiased and the regulator functions normally.

8.3.3 Battery Charger

The LM1086-MIL-ADJ can be used as a battery charger to regulate the charging current required by the battery bank as shown in Figure 21. In this application the LM1086-MIL acts as a constant voltage, constant current part by sensing the voltage potential across the battery and compensating it to the current voltage. To maintain this voltage, the regulator delivers the maximum charging current required to charge the battery. As the battery approaches the fully charged state, the potential drop across the sense resistor, RS reduces and the regulator throttles back the current to maintain the float voltage of the battery.

8.3.4 Adjustable Fixed Regulator

A simple adjustable, fixed-range-output regulator can be made possible by placing a variable resistor on the ground of the device as shown in Figure 22 based on the fixed output voltage LM1086-MIL-5. The GND pin has a small quiescent current of 5 mA typical. Increasing the resistance on the GND pin increases the voltage potential across the resistor. This potential is then mirrored on to the output to increase the total output voltage by the potential drop across the GND resistor.

8.3.5 Regulator With Reference

A fixed output voltage version of the LM1086-MIL-5 can be employed to provide an output rail and a reference rail at the same time as shown in Figure 23. This simple application makes use of a reference diode, the LM136-5, to regulate the GND voltage to a fixed 5 V based on the quiescent current generated by the GND pin. This voltage is then added onto the output to generate a total of 10 V out.

8.3.6 High-Current Lamp-Driver Protection

A simple constant-current source with protection can be designed by controlling the impedance between the lamp and ground. The LM1086-MIL-ADJ shown in Figure 24 makes use of an external TTL or CMOS input to drive the NPN transistor. This pulls the output of the regulator to a few tenths of a volt and puts the part into current limit. Releasing the logic will reduce the current flow across the lamp into the normal operating current thereby protecting the lamp during start-up.

8.3.7 Battery-Backup-Regulated Supply

A regulated battery-backup supply can be generated by using two fixed output voltage versions of the part as shown in Figure 25. The top regulator supplies the line voltage during normal operation, however when the input is not available, the second regulator derives power from the battery backup and regulates it to 5 V based on the LM1086-MIL-5. The diodes prevent the rails from back feeding into the supply and batteries.

8.3.8 Ripple Rejection Enhancement

A very simple ripple rejection circuit is shown in Figure 26 using the LM1086-MIL-ADJ. The capacitor C1 smooths out the ripple on the output by cleaning up the feedback path and preventing excess noise from feeding back into the regulator. Please remember XC1 should be approximately equal to R1 at the ripple frequency.

8.3.9 Automatic Light Control

A common streetlight control or automatic light control circuit is designed in Figure 27 based on the LM1086-MIL-ADJ. The photo transistor conducts in the presence of light and grounds the ADJ pin preventing the lamp from turning on. However, in the absence of light, the LM1086-MIL regulates the voltage to 1.25 V between OUT and ADJ, ensuring the lamp remains on.

8.3.10 Remote Sensing

Remote sensing is a method of compensating the output voltage to a very precise degree by sensing the output and feeding it back through the feedback. The circuit implementing this is shown in Figure 28 using the LM1086-MIL-ADJ. The output of the regulator is fed into a voltage follower to avoid any loading effects and the output of the op-amp is injected into the top of the feedback resistor network. This has the effect of modulating the voltage to a precise degree without additional loading on the output.
