LDO and PCA9306-Q1 Concerns

The VREF1 pin can be supplied by a low-dropout regulator (LDO), but in some cases the LDO can lose its regulation because of the bias current from VREF2 to VREF1. If the LDO cannot sink the bias current, then the current has no other paths to ground and instead charges up the capacitance on the VREF1 node (both external and parasitic). This results in an increase in voltage on the VREF1 node. If no other paths for current to flow are established (such as back biasing of body diodes or clamping diodes through other devices on the VREF1 node), then the VREF1 voltage ends up stabilizing when Vgs of the pass FET is equal to Vth. This means VREF1 node voltage is VCC2 - Vth. Note that any target or controllers running off of the LDO now see the VCC2 - Vth voltage which may cause damage to those target or controllers if they are not rated to handle the increased voltage.

To ensure LDO does not lose regulation due to the bias current of PCA9306-Q1, a weak pull down resistor can be placed on VREF1 to ground to provide a path for the bias current to travel. The recommended pull down resistor is calculated by Equation 4 where 0.75 gives about 25% margin for error incase bias current increases during operation.

Equation 1. Ven = VREF1 + Vth

where

  • Vth is approximately 0.6 V
Equation 2. Ibias = (VCC2 - Ven)/200k
Equation 3. Rpulldown = VOUT/Ibias
Equation 4. Recommended Rpulldown = Rpulldown x 0.75
