600mA Linear Regulator for DC Fan Speed Control
The APL5605 is a low quiescent current and low dropout
linear regulator which is designed to power a DC fan
and delivers up to 600mA output current. The output
voltage follows the 1.6 times of VSET voltage and typi-
cal dropout voltage is only 220mV (typical) at 600mA
output current. The APL5605 with low 140µA quiescent
current is ideal for battery-powered system appliances
and stable with a 2.2µF ceramic output capacitor. The
features of current limit (with foldback current) and over-
temperature protection protect the device against cur-
rent over-loads and over temperature. The APL5605 is
available in a SOP-8 package.

APL5605
Function Descriptions
Under-Voltage Lock-Out (UVLO)
The APL5605 has a built-in under-voltage lock-out circuit
to keep the output off until the internal circuitry is operat-
ing properly. The UVLO function initiates a soft start pro-
cess after input voltage exceeds its rising UVLO thresh-
old during power on. Typical UVLO threshold is 2.5V
with 0.15V hysteresis.
Soft-Start
The APL5605 provides an internal soft-start circuitry to
control rise rate of the output voltage and limit the cur-
rent surge during start-up. Approximate 20µs delay time
after the VIN is over the UVLO threshold, the IC starts a
soft-start. The typical soft-start interval is about 130µs.
Enable/Shutdown
Driving the EN high turns on the regulator, driving the EN
low puts the regulator into shutdown mode. A logic low
also causes the output voltage to discharge to GND. The
EN is pulled low by an internal resistor.
Current Limit
The APL5605 provides a current limit circuitry, which
monitors the output current and controls P-MOSs gate
voltage to limit the output current at 700mA.
Thermal Shutdown
A thermal shutdown circuit limits the junction temperature
of APL5605. When the junction temperature exceeds
+150οC, the thermal shutdown circuitry disables the
output, allowing the device to cool down. The output
circuitry is enabled again after the junction tempera-
ture cools down by 40οC, resulting in a pulsed output
during continuous thermal overload conditions.
When the output voltage drops below 0.6V (typical),which
is caused by over load or short circuit, the foldback cur-
rent limit circuitry limits the output current to 250mA. The
foldback current limit is used to ruduce the power dissi-
pation during short circuit condition. The foldback current
limits is disabled for 0.8ms(typical) after UVLO threshold
is reached, so that the IC has normal 700mA (typical)
current limit level during start-up.

Application Information
Input Capacitor
The APL5605 requires proper input capacitors to supply
surge current during stepping load transients to prevent
the input rail from dropping. Because the parasitic induc-
tor from the voltage sources or other bulk capacitors to
the VIN limits the slew rate of the surge current, place the
Input capacitors near VIN as close as possible. Input
capacitors should be larger than 0.82µF.
Output Capacitor
The APL5605 needs a proper output capacitor to main-
tain circuit stability and to improve transient response
over temperature and current. In order to insure the cir-
cuit stability, the proper output capacitor value should be
larger than 1µF. With X5R and X7R dielectrics, 2.2 µF is
sufficient at all operating temperatures. Maximum output
capacitor should be less than 330µF to insure the sys-
tem can be powered on effectively.
Operation Region and Power Dissipation
The APL5605 maximum power dissipation depends on
the thermal resistance and temperature difference be-
tween the die junction and ambient air. The power dissi-
pation PD across the device is:
JA
AJ
D)TT(
Pθ
=
where (TJ-TA) is the temperature difference between the
junction and ambient air. θJA is the thermal resistance
between Junction and ambient air. Assuming the TA=25οC
and maximum TJ=150οC (typical thermal limit threshold),
the maximum power dissipation is calculated as:
PD(max)=(150-25)/80
= 1.56(W)
For normal operation, do not exceed the maximum junc-
tion temperature rating of TJ = 125οC. The calculated
power dissipation should less than:
PD =(125-25)/80
= 1.25(W)
PCB Layout Considerations
Figure 1 illustrates the layout. Below is a checklist for
your layout:
1. Please place the input capacitors close to the VIN
2. Ceramic capacitors for load must be placed near the
load as close as possible
3. To place APL5605 and output capacitors near the load
is good for performance.
4. Large current paths, the bold lines in figure 1, must
have wide tracks.
Figure 1
Figure 2
Optimum performance can only be achieved when the
device is mounted on a PC board according to the SOP-8
Board Layout diagram.
The GND provides an electrical connection to ground and
channels heat away. Connect the GND to ground by us-
ing a large pad or ground plane.
