LP5907: Vout capacitance

Part Number: LP5907
Other Parts Discussed in Thread: TPS7A20

Hi team,

May I ask if the output capacitance of Lp5907 exceeds 10uF; what will be the problem? The load capacitance in the current circuit is 47uF;

Thanks

Lillian

  • Hi Lillian,

    The LP5907 has a risk of becoming unstable and oscillating with higher values of load capacitance.  I strongly recommend looking at the TPS7A20.  The TPS7A20 is the next generation device from the LP59xx family.  The TPS7A20 offers higher current, a revamped compensation which is stable for loads up to at least 200uF, and is cheaper.  The only reason to still use the LP5907 in new designs is if you absolutely must have the fastest startup possible. For most designs, you will select the TPS7A20 over the LP59xx.

    Thanks,

  • Hi Lillian,

    Based on these requirements, the LP5907 is the best choice.  Is this an large opportunity? I would suggest that we look at submitting a transistor simulation to confirm stability with this load.  I'll need the following data if you wish to go this route:

    1. Vin, Vout
    2. Ambient temperature
    3. Cin (each capacitor please, not a lumped capacitance)
    4. Cout (each capacitor please, not a lumped capacitance)
    5. Minimum and maximum load current

    Thanks,

    Stephen
