Caution:

Stresses greater than the Absolute Maximum Ratings specified above, may cause permanent damage to the device. These are stress ratings only; functional operation of the device at conditions between maximum recommended operating conditions and absolute maximum ratings is not implied. Device reliability may be affected by exposure to absolute maximum rating conditions for extended periods of time.

(Semiconductor devices are ESD sensitive and may be damaged by exposure to ESD events. Suitable ESD precautions should be taken when handling and transporting these devices.)

LM4040B25FTA Typical Application

In a conventional shunt regulator application (Figure 1), an external series resistor (RS) is connected between the supply voltage, VS, and the LM4040.

Figure 1

RS determines the current that flows through the load (IL) and the LM4040 (IR). Because load current and supply voltage can vary, RS should be small enough to supply at least the minimum acceptable IR to the LM4040 even when the supply voltage is at its minimum and the load current is at its maximum value. When the supply voltage is at its maximum and IL is at its minimum, RS should be large enough so that the current flowing through the LM4040 is less than 15mA.

RS is determined by the supply voltage, (VS), the load and operating current, (IL and IR), and the LM4040's reverse breakdown voltage, VR.

$$R_S = \frac{V_S - V_R}{I_L + I_R}$$
