PACKAGE/ORDERING INFORMATION
1
APE8840 is dual low dropout positive regulator with
minimum of 600mA output current capability. The product is
specifically designed to provide well-regulated supply for lo
w
voltage IC applications such as high-speed bus termination
and low current 3.3V/1.8V, logic supply. APE8840 series are
guaranteed to have <1.5V dropout at full load current
making it ideal to provide well regulated outputs dual
channels with up to 12V input supply, but depend on Powe
r
Dissipation Limitation for using. To prevent oscillation, it is
recommended to use minimum 1uF dielectric capacitors fo
r
Input/Output Capacitors, In general, the input capacitor in
the range of 1uF to 10uF sufficient.

Note1: See thermal regulation specifications for changes in output voltage due to heating effects.
Line and load regulation are measured at a constant junction temperature by low duty cycle pulse testing.
Load regulation is measured at the output lead = 1/18” from the package.
Note2: Line and load regulation are guaranteed up to the maximum power dissipation of 2W. Power dissipation is
determined by the input/output differentially and the output current. Guaranteed maximum power dissipation
will not be available over the full input/output range.
Note3: Quiescent current is defined as the minimum output current that requires maintaining regulation. At 12V
input/output differential the device is guaranteed to regulate if the output current is greater than 10mA.

PIN DESCRIPTIONS
PIN SYMBOL PIN DESCRIPTION
GND Ground for fix output version
The output of the regulator. A minimum of 1uF capacitor (10m < ESR < 1)
must be connected from this pin to ground to insure stability.
The input pin of regulator. Typically a minimum of 1uF capacitor is connected
from this pin to ground to insure that the input voltage does not sag below the
minimum dropout voltage during the load transient response. The pin must
always be 1.5V higher than Vout in order for the device to regulate properly.
