lm723

hello board, I want to regulate a SMPS which works @100kHz(~4A), I first look at lm338 that was terrible @100kHz even @10kHz so I ruled it out, then I remembered old good 723. I could not find the information I needed in datasheet, it says @10kHz ripple rejection is amazing 86db, well but what it would be around 100kHz? there was no graph. I can accept even 20db fall in 100kHz even 66 db is quite good for me. dose anybody have experience with 723 @HF? any rough estimate?
thanks
 

lm723 spice model

The 723 is one of the lowest noise regulators around. I often use it in PLL-VCO designs. You can either build a test circuit or simulate the result or contact National and ask for the spec.

Added after 1 hours 9 minutes:

A quick simulation shows about 64dB rejection at 100k with a 4.7uF Cref cap connected. The simulation at 10k (84dB) is close to National's typical spec of 86dB

lm723 design

Thanks a lot E-design, you helped much, but where you got the SPICE model, I use _altium designer which dose not have a model for 723. Thanks again.

I used the model supplied with Proteus.

Take a look at this page. This may also give you some ideas

subckt lm723

Thanks a lot E-Design I used simulation but I couldn't reproduce the values you mentioned ( 64d&84dB). can you please tell me how did you reached these fantastic values? did you use transient analysis and compared peak to peak values of input and output ripple?
Thanks a lot again.
 

lm723 model

Yes, but I did the simulation in Proteus. I can't say how accurate the model is, but it seemed to agree with the spec sheet results.
The model data I posted is from National Instruments. I can't find the data for the Proteus model.
What figures do you get?

lm723 multisim

Hello E-Design, I think there is a problem with my simulation because results are not logical. I used the model you kindly mentioned. With 10kHz I get something about 61db attenuation but most bizarre thing is with 100kHz ripple I get ~66db attenuation which can't be true. One of my friends uses proteus, I asked him to simulate the same circuit with proteus, he said he couldn't get a meaningful result because output of 723 is a flat line with no ripple and no matter how much he zooms or how many volts of ripple he feeds the 723, it is flat! The only way he could detect a ripple is to lower supply voltage or increase ripple so much that in negative portion of sine wave total supply voltage be less than 2 volts more than output voltage, but this is not acceptable because supply voltage should have at least 3V margin relative to output. So we have three different results with the same model, yours, mine and my friend! while your results are very logical but I like to know how can I reproduce it at least in proteus of my friend this is the result of my simulation @10kHz
Transient start time 5mSec
Transient stop time 10mSec (5.5mSec for 100kHz)
Transient step time 2uSec
Transient max step time 2uSec
All SPICE varables were in their default values except:
I only incremented itteration limits:
ITL1=300, ITL2=100, ITL4=500
No Error and I got this(in second graph, every division is 250uV)

Thanks
 

lm723 pspice model

I only used the 723 by itself set to 5V out and 15V in with 2v peak ripple. I also had the Fcomp cap set at 100pF

The best way to find the truth is to email National Semiconductor and ask for the spec.

Added after 3 hours 3 minutes:

I did another simulation with Multisim with the model I gave you. The same setup but without any Fcomp. 5V out, 15V in 2Vp-p ripple. Results: 10k (85dB), 100k (66dB).

Without C2 the results are: 10k (74dB), 100k (55dB). Note that I had to change the full scale range for the right side 10k meaurement.
