Application Circuit

The following image shows the typical application circuit for the LM39302.

The LM39302 requires an output capacitor to maintain stability and improve transient response. When the output capacitor is 47uF or greater, the output capacitor should have less than 1 of ESR. This will improve transient response as well as promote stability. An input capacitor of 1uF or greater is recommended when the device is more than 4 inches away from the bulk ac supply capacitance, or when the supply is a battery.

Applications

• Battery Powered Equipments
• Motherboards and Graphic Cards
• Microprocessor Power Supplies
• Peripheral Cards
• High Efficiency Linear Regulators
• Battery Chargers
