DESCRIPTION
O RDERING NUMBER : L4922
The L4922is a high currentmonolithic voltage regu-
lator with very low voltage drop (0.70 V max at 1 A,
TJ = 25 °C).
The device is internally protected against load
dumps transient of + 60V, reverse polarity, over-
heatingand outputshort circuit : thanks toted for the
automotive and industrial applications.

FUNCTIONAL DESCRIPTION
The operating principle of the voltage regulator is
basedon thereference,the error amplifier,the driver
and the power PNP. This stage uses an Isolated
CollectorVertical PNP transistor which allowsto ob-
tain very low dropout voltage (typ. 450mV) and low
quiescent current (IQ = 20mA typically at Io = 1A).
Thanks to these features the device is particularly
suited when the power dissipation must be limited
as, for example, in automotive or industrial applica-
tions supplied by battery.
The three gain stages (operational amplifier,
driver and power PNP) require the external capaci-
tor (Comin = 22µF) to guarantee the global stability
of the system.
The antisaturationcircuit allowsto reduce drastically
the current peak which takes place during the start
up.
The reset function is LOW active when the output
voltage level is lower than the reset threshold volt-
age VRthOFF (typ.value : Vo – 150mV).When the out-
put voltage is higher thanVRthON the reset becomes
HIGH aftera delaytime settablewith the externalca-
pacitorCd. Typicallytd =20ms, Cd = 0.1µF. The reset
and delay threshold hysteresis improve the noise
immunity allowing to avoid false switchings. The
typical reset output waveform is shown in fig. 1.
