Input Decoupling (C1)
A 1 mF capacitor either ceramic or electrolytic is
recommended and should be connected close to the input pin
of NCP785A. Higher value 2.2 mF is necessary to sustain the
required minimum input voltage at full load for AC voltage
as low as 85 V with half wave rectifier.
Output Decoupling (C2)
The NCP785A Regulator does not require any specific
Equivalent Series Resistance (ESR). Thus capacitors
exhibiting ESRs ranging from a few mW up to 0.5 W can be
used safely. The minimum decoupling value is 22 mF. The
regulator accepts ceramic chip capacitors as well as
tantalum devices or low ESR electrolytic capacitors. Larger
values improve noise rejection and load transient response.
Layout Recommendations
Please be sure the V
IN
and GND lines are sufficiently
wide. When the impedance of these lines is high, there is a
chance to pick up noise or to cause the malfunction of
regulator.
Set external components, especially the output capacitor,
as close as possible to the circuit, and make leads as short as
possible.
Thermal
As power across the NCP785A increases, it might become
necessary to provide some thermal relief. The maximum
power dissipation supported by the device is dependent
upon board design layout and used package. Mounting pad
configuration on the PCB, the board material, and also the
ambient temperature affect the rate of temperature rise for
the part. This is stating that when the NCP785A has good
thermal conductivity through the PCB, the junction
temperature will be relatively low with high power
dissipation applications.
