(1) Stresses beyond those listed under Absolute Maximum Ratings may cause permanent damage to the device. These are stress ratings
only, which do not imply functional operation of the device at these or any other conditions beyond those indicated under Recommended
Operating Conditions. Exposure to absolute-maximum-rated conditions for extended periods may affect device reliability.
(2) If Military/Aerospace specified devices are required, please contact the Texas Instruments Sales Office/Distributors for availability and
specifications.
(3) The maximum allowable power dissipation at any ambient temperature is a function of the maximum junction temperature for operation
(TJMAX = 125°C or 150°C), the junction-to-ambient thermal resistance (θJA), and the ambient temperature (TA). PDMAX = (TJMAX −
TA)/θJA. If this dissipation is exceeded, the die temperature rises above TJMAX and the electrical specifications do not apply. If the die
temperature rises above 150°C, the device goes into thermal shutdown. For the TO-3 package (NDS), the junction-to-ambient thermal
resistance (θJA) is 39°C/W. When using a heat sink, θJA is the sum of the 4°C/W junction-to-case thermal resistance (θJC) of the TO-3
package and the case-to-ambient thermal resistance of the heat sink. For the TO-220 package (NDE), θJA is 54°C/W and θJC is 4°C/W.
If SOT-223 is used, the junction-to-ambient thermal resistance is 174°C/W and can be reduced by a heat sink (see Applications Hints on
heat sinking).If the DDPAK\TO-263 package is used, the thermal resistance can be reduced by increasing the PCB copper area
thermally connected to the package: Using 0.5 square inches of copper area, θJA is 50°C/W; with 1 square inch of copper area, θJA is
37°C/W; and with 1.6 or more inches of copper area, θJA is 32°C/W.

7 Detailed Description
7.1 Overview
The LM340 and LM7805 devices are a family of fixed output positive voltage regulators with outputs ranging from
3 V to 15 V. They accept up to 35 V of input voltage and with proper heat dissipation can provide over 1.5 A of
current. With a combination of current limiting, thermal shutdown, and safe area protection, these regulators
eliminate any concern of damage. These features paired with excellent line and load regulation make the LM340
and LM7805 Family versatile solutions to a wide range of power management designs. Although the LM340 and
LM7805 Family were designed primarily as fixed-voltage regulators, these devices can be used with external
component for adjustable voltage and current.
7.2 Functional Block Diagram
7.3 Feature Description

7.3.1 Output Current
With proper considerations, the LM340 and LM7805 Family can exceed 1.5-A output current. Depending on the
desired package option, the effective junction-to-ambient thermal resistance can be reduced through heat
sinking, allowing more power to be dissipated in the device.
7.3.2 Current Limiting Feature

In the event of a short circuit at the output of the regulator, each device has an internal current limit to protect it
from damage. The typical current limits for the LM340 and LM7805 Family is 2.4 A.
7.3.3 Thermal Shutdown

Each package type employs internal current limiting and thermal shutdown to provide safe operation area
protection. If the junction temperature is allowed to rise to 150°C, the device will go into thermal shutdown.
7.4 Device Functional Modes

There are no functional modes for this device.

8 Application and Implementation
NOTE
Information in the following applications sections is not part of the TI component
specification, and TI does not warrant its accuracy or completeness. TI’s customers are
responsible for determining suitability of components for their purposes. Customers should
validate and test their design implementation to confirm system functionality.
8.1 Application Information

The LM340x and LM7805 series is designed with thermal protection, output short-circuit protection, and output
transistor safe area protection. However, as with any IC regulator, it becomes necessary to take precautions to
assure that the regulator is not inadvertently damaged. The following describes possible misapplications and
methods to prevent damage to the regulator.
8.1.1 Shorting the Regulator Input

When using large capacitors at the output of these regulators, a protection diode connected input to output
(Figure 15) may be required if the input is shorted to ground. Without the protection diode, an input short causes
the input to rapidly approach ground potential, while the output remains near the initial VOUT because of the
stored charge in the large output capacitor. The capacitor will then discharge through a large internal input to
output diode and parasitic transistors. If the energy released by the capacitor is large enough, this diode, low
current metal, and the regulator are destroyed. The fast diode in Figure 15 shunts most of the capacitors
discharge current around the regulator. Generally no protection diode is required for values of output capacitance
≤ 10 μF.
8.1.2 Raising the Output Voltage Above the Input Voltage

Because the output of the device does not sink current, forcing the output high can cause damage to internal low
current paths in a manner similar to that just described in Shorting the Regulator Input.
8.1.3 Regulator Floating Ground

When the ground pin alone becomes disconnected, the output approaches the unregulated input, causing
possible damage to other circuits connected to VOUT. If ground is reconnected with power ON, damage may also
occur to the regulator. This fault is most likely to occur when plugging in regulators or modules with on card
regulators into powered up sockets. The power must be turned off first, the thermal limit ceases operating, or the
ground must be connected first if power must be left on. See Figure 16.
8.1.4 Transient Voltages

If transients exceed the maximum rated input voltage of the device, or reach more than 0.8 V below ground and
have sufficient energy, they will damage the regulator. The solution is to use a large input capacitor, a series
input breakdown diode, a choke, a transient suppressor or a combination of these.

Application Information (continued)
Figure 16. Regulator Floating Ground
Figure 17. Transients
When a value for θ(H–A) is found, a heat sink must be selected that has a value that is less than or equal to this
number.
θ(H–A) is specified numerically by the heat sink manufacturer in this catalog or shown in a curve that plots
temperature rise vs power dissipation for the heat sink.
8.2 Typical Applications

8.2.1 Fixed Output Voltage Regulator
The LM340x and LM7805 Family devices are primarily designed to provide fixed output voltage regulation. The
simplest implementation of LM340x and LM7805 Family is shown in Figure 18.
*Required if the regulator is located far from the power supply filter.
**Although no output capacitor is needed for stability, it does help transient response. (If needed, use 0.1-μF, ceramic
disc).
Figure 18. Fixed Output Voltage Regulator
8.2.1.1 Design Requirements

The device component count is very minimal. Although not required, TI recommends employing bypass
capacitors at the output for optimum stability and transient response. These capacitors must be placed as close
as possible to the regulator. If the device is located more than 6 inches from the power supply filter, it is required
to employ input capacitor.

9 Power Supply Recommendations

The LM340 is designed to operate from a wide input voltage up to 35 V. Please refer to electrical characteristics
tables for the minimum input voltage required for line/load regulation. If the device is more than six inches from
the input filter capacitors, an input bypass capacitor, 0.1 μF or greater, of any type is needed for stability.
10 Layout
10.1 Layout Guidelines

Some layout guidelines must be followed to ensure proper regulation of the output voltage with minimum noise.
Traces carrying the load current must be wide to reduce the amount of parasitic trace inductance. To improve
PSRR, a bypass capacitor can be placed at the OUTPUT pin and must be placed as close as possible to the IC.
All that is required for the typical fixed output regulator application circuit is the LM340x/LM7805 Family IC and a
0.22-µF input capacitor if the regulator is placed far from the power supply filter. A 0.1-µF output capacitor is
recommended to help with transient response. In cases when VIN shorts to ground, an external diode must be
placed from VOUT to VIN to divert the surge current from the output capacitor and protect the IC.

10.3 Heat Sinking DDPAK/TO-263 and SOT-223 Package Parts

Both the DDPAK/TO-263 (KTT) and SOT-223 (DCY) packages use a copper plane on the PCB and the PCB
itself as a heat sink. To optimize the heat sinking ability of the plane and PCB, solder the tab of the plane.
Figure 29 shows for the DDPAK/TO-263 the measured values of θ(J–A) for different copper area sizes using a
typical PCB with 1-oz copper and no solder mask over the copper area used for heat sinking.

Heat Sinking DDPAK/TO-263 and SOT-223 Package Parts (continued)

As shown in Figure 29, increasing the copper area beyond 1 square inch produces very little improvement. It
should also be observed that the minimum value of θ(J–A) for the DDPAK/TO-263 package mounted to a PCB is
32°C/W.
As a design aid, Figure 30 shows the maximum allowable power dissipation compared to ambient temperature
for the DDPAK/TO-263 device (assuming θ(J–A) is 35°C/W and the maximum junction temperature is 125°C).
Figure 30. Maximum Power Dissipation vs TAMB for the DDPAK/TO-263 Package
Figure 31 and Figure 32 show the information for the SOT-223 package. Figure 31 assumes a θ(J–A) of 74°C/W
for 1-oz. copper and 51°C/W for 2-oz. copper and a maximum junction temperature of 125°C.

accompanied by all associated warranties, conditions, limitations, and notices. TI is not responsible or liable for such reproduced
documentation. Information of third parties may be subject to additional restrictions. Resale of TI products or services with statements
different from or beyond the parameters stated by TI for that product or service voids all express and any implied warranties for the
associated TI product or service and is an unfair and deceptive business practice. TI is not responsible or liable for any such statements.
Buyers and others who are developing systems that incorporate TI products (collectively, “Designers”) understand and agree that Designers
remain responsible for using their independent analysis, evaluation and judgment in designing their applications and that Designers have
full and exclusive responsibility to assure the safety of Designers' applications and compliance of their applications (and of all TI products
used in or for Designers’ applications) with all applicable regulations, laws and other applicable requirements. Designer represents that, with
respect to their applications, Designer has all the necessary expertise to create and implement safeguards that (1) anticipate dangerous
consequences of failures, (2) monitor failures and their consequences, and (3) lessen the likelihood of failures that might cause harm and
take appropriate actions. Designer agrees that prior to using or distributing any applications that include TI products, Designer will
thoroughly test such applications and the functionality of such TI products as used in such applications.
TI’s provision of technical, application or other design advice, quality characterization, reliability data or other services or information,
including, but not limited to, reference designs and materials relating to evaluation modules, (collectively, “TI Resources”) are intended to
assist designers who are developing applications that incorporate TI products; by downloading, accessing or using TI Resources in any
way, Designer (individually or, if Designer is acting on behalf of a company, Designer’s company) agrees to use any particular TI Resource
solely for this purpose and subject to the terms of this Notice.

TO ANY OTHER TI INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY RIGHT, AND NO LICENSE TO ANY TECHNOLOGY OR INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY
RIGHT OF TI OR ANY THIRD PARTY IS GRANTED HEREIN, including but not limited to any patent right, copyright, mask work right, or
other intellectual property right relating to any combination, machine, or process in which TI products or services are used. Information
regarding or referencing third-party products or services does not constitute a license to use such products or services, or a warranty or
endorsement thereof. Use of TI Resources may require a license from a third party under the patents or other intellectual property of the
third party, or a license from TI under the patents or other intellectual property of TI.
TI RESOURCES ARE PROVIDED “AS IS” AND WITH ALL FAULTS. TI DISCLAIMS ALL OTHER WARRANTIES OR
REPRESENTATIONS, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, REGARDING RESOURCES OR USE THEREOF, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO
ACCURACY OR COMPLETENESS, TITLE, ANY EPIDEMIC FAILURE WARRANTY AND ANY IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF
MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, AND NON-INFRINGEMENT OF ANY THIRD PARTY INTELLECTUAL
PROPERTY RIGHTS. TI SHALL NOT BE LIABLE FOR AND SHALL NOT DEFEND OR INDEMNIFY DESIGNER AGAINST ANY CLAIM,
INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO ANY INFRINGEMENT CLAIM THAT RELATES TO OR IS BASED ON ANY COMBINATION OF
PRODUCTS EVEN IF DESCRIBED IN TI RESOURCES OR OTHERWISE. IN NO EVENT SHALL TI BE LIABLE FOR ANY ACTUAL,
DIRECT, SPECIAL, COLLATERAL, INDIRECT, PUNITIVE, INCIDENTAL, CONSEQUENTIAL OR EXEMPLARY DAMAGES IN
