Adjustable Operation
The adjustable version of the TL1963A has an output voltage range of 1.21 V to 20 V. The output voltage is set
by the ratio of two external resistors as shown in Figure 33. The device maintains the voltage at the ADJ pin at
1.21 V referenced to ground. The current in R1 is then equal to 1.21 V / R1, and the current in R2 is the current
in R1 plus the ADJ pin bias current. The ADJ pin bias current, 3 μA at 25°C, flows through R2 into the ADJ pin.
The output voltage can be calculated using the formula shown in Figure 33. The value of R1 should be less than
4.17 kΩ to minimize errors in the output voltage caused by the ADJ pin bias current. Note that in shutdown the
output is turned off, and the divider current is zero.
