Understanding the Load Transient Improvement

The NCP4561 features a novel architecture which allows

the user to easily implement the regulator in burst systems

where the time between two current shots is kept very small.

The quality of the transient response time is related to

many parameters, among which the closed–loop bandwidth

with the corresponding phase margin plays an important

role. However, other characteristics also come into play like

the series pass transistor saturation. When a current

perturbation suddenly appears on the output, e.g. a load

increase, the error amplifier reacts and actively biases the

PNP transistor. During this reaction time, the LDO is in

open–loop and the output impedance is rather high. As a

result, the voltage brutally drops until the error amplifier

effectively closes the loop and corrects the output error.

When the load disappears, the opposite phenomenon takes

place with a positive overshoot. The problem appears when

this overshoot decays down to the LDO steady–state value.

During this decreasing phase, the LDO stops the PNP bias

and one can consider the LDO asleep. If by misfortune a

current shot appears, the reaction time is incredibly

lengthened and a strong undershoot takes place. This

reaction is clearly not acceptable for line sensitive devices,

such as VCOs or other Radio–Frequency parts. This

problem is dramatically exacerbated when the output

current drops to zero rather than a few mA. In this later case,

the internal feedback network is the only discharge path,

accordingly lengthening the output voltage decay period.

The NCP4561 cures this problem by implementing a

clever design where the LDO detects the presence of the

overshoot and forces the system to go back to steady–state

as soon as possible, ready for the next shot, which positively

improves the response time and decreases the negative peak

voltage.

NCP4561 has a fast start–up phase

Thanks to the lack of bypass capacitor the NCP4561 is

able to supply its downstream circuitry as soon as the OFF

to ON signal appears. In a standard LDO, the charging time

of the external bypass capacitor hampers the response time.

A simple solution consists in suppressing this bypass

element but, unfortunately, the noise rises to an

unacceptable level. NCP4561 offers the best of both worlds

since it no longer includes a bypass capacitor and starts in

less than 40 ms typically (Repetitive at 200 Hz). It also

ensures a low–noise level of 40 mVRMS 100 Hz–100 kHz.

The following picture details the typical NCP4561 startup

phase.
