Guidelines for VCC or 3.3Vaux supply circuit design using a Low Drop-Out linear regulator
The use of a linear regulator is suggested when the difference from the available supply rail and the
VCC
or
3.3Vaux
value is relatively low. The linear regulators provide high efficiency when transforming a 5 VDC supply
to a voltage value within the module
VCC or 3.3Vaux
normal operating range.
The characteristics of the Low Drop-Out (LDO) linear regulator connected to
VCC or 3.3aux
pins should meet
the following prerequisites to comply with the module
VCC
or
3.3Vaux
requirements summarized in Table 7:
•
Power capabilities
: the LDO linear regulator with its output circuit must be capable of providing a voltage
value to the
VCC
or
3.3Vaux
pins within the specified operating range, and must be capable of
withstanding and delivering the maximum current specified in
TOBY-L1 series Data Sheet
[1] or
MPCI-L1
[2] when in connected-mode.
•
Power dissipation
: the power handling capability of the LDO linear regulator must be checked to limit its
junction temperature to the maximum rated operating range (i.e. check the voltage drop from the max input
voltage to the minimum output voltage to evaluate the power dissipation of the regulator).
Figure 21 and the components listed in Table 12 show an example of
VCC
or
3.3Vaux
module supply circuit
using an LDO linear regulator capable of delivering the required current, with proper power handling capability.
It is recommended to configure the LDO linear regulator to generate a voltage supply value slightly below the
maximum limit of the module
VCC
or
3.3Vaux
normal operating range (e.g. ~4.1 V for
VCC
and ~3.44 V for
the
3.3Vaux
, as in the circuit described in Figure 21 and Table 12). This reduces the power on the linear
regulator and improves the thermal design of the circuit.
