8.3.2.10 Low Dropout Operation

The LP3907 can operate at 100% duty cycle (no switching; PMOS switch completely on) for low dropout support of the output voltage. In this way the output voltage is controlled down to the lowest possible input voltage. When the device operates near 100% duty cycle, output voltage ripple is approximately 25 mV. The minimum input voltage needed to support the output voltage is:

Equation 5. VIN, MIN = ILOAD × (RDSON, PFET + RINDUCTOR) + VOUT

where

  • ILOAD = Load current
  • RDSON, PFET = Drain to source resistance of  PFET switch in the triode region
  • RINDUCTOR = Inductor resistance
