Advanced Power Electronics Corp. APE8975/A 3A HIGH OUTPUT CURRENT LDO REGULATOR DESCRIPTION FEATURES The APE8975/A is a low noise, high output current, low quiescent current and low dropout linear regulator. The Device includes pass element, error amplifier, band-gap, current-limit and thermal shutdown circuitry. The output current is up to 3A. The characteristics of low dropout voltage and less quiescent current make it good for some critical current application, for example, some battery powered devices. The typical quiescent current is approximately 200 A. There are 1.5V, 1.8V, 2.5V, 3.3V fixed output voltage and adjustable output versions (ESOP-8 & TO-263-5L Only). Built-in current-limit, Short current protection and thermal-shutdown functions prevent any fault condition from IC damage.

APE8975/A BLOCK DIAGRAM VIN VOUT Current Limit EN - + Error Amp SENSE Enable Bandgap Thermal Shutdown GND Fixed Version VIN VOUT Current Limit EN - + Error Amp FB Enable Bandgap Thermal Shutdown GND Adjustable Version FUNCTION DESCRIPTIONS A minimum of 10F capacitor must be connected from VOUT to ground to insure stability. Typically a large storage capacitor is connected from VIN to ground to ensure that the input voltage does not sag below the minimum dropout voltage during the load transient response. This pin must always be dropout voltage higher than VOUT in order for the device to regulate properly. Enable Function The APE8975/A (TO263-5L and SOP-8L-EP only) features an LDO regulator enable/disable function. To assure the LDO regulator will switch on; the EN turn on control level must be greater than 2.0 volts. The LDO regulator will go into the shutdown mode when the voltage on the EN pin falls below 0.6 volts. If the enable function is not needed in a specific application, it can be floating. FB Function (ESOP-8 & TO-263-5L only) The output is an adjustable version, the FB voltage is 0.8V. The output voltage can be set by outside resistances. The output voltage, VOUT, is then given by the VOUT = 0.8 x (1 + R1/R2) f ll i ti For the reasons of reducing power dissipation and loop stability, R2 is recommending to choose 50K~300K. 4 Advanced Power Electronics Corp. APE8975/A APPLICATION INFORMATION Like any low-dropout regulator, the APE8975/A requires input and output decoupling capacitors. The device is specifically designed for portable applications requiring minimum board space and smallest components. These capacitors must be correctly selected for good performance (see Capacitor Characteristics Section). Please note that linear regulators with a low dropout voltage have high internal loop gains which require care in guarding against oscillation caused by insufficient decoupling capacitance. Capacitor Selection Normally, use a 10F capacitor on the input and a 10F capacitor on the output of the APE8975/A. Larger input capacitor values and lower ESR (X5R, X7R) provide better supply-noise rejection and transient response. A higher- value output capacitor may be necessary if large, fast transients are anticipated and the device is located several inches from the power source. Input-Output (Dropout) Voltage A regulator's minimum input-to-output voltage differential (dropout voltage) determines the lowest usable supply voltage. In battery-powered systems, this determines the useful end-of-life battery voltage. Because the device uses a PMOS, its dropout voltage is a function of drain-to source on-resistance, RDS (ON), multiplied by the load current: VDROPOUT = VIN -VOUT = RDS (ON) x IOUT Current Limit and Short-Circuit Protection The APE8975/A used a current sense-resistor to monitor the output current. A portion of the PMOS output transistor's current is mirrored to a resistor such that the voltage across this resistor is proportional to the output current. Once the output current exceeds limit threshold, AX6639/A would be protected with a limited output current. Further more, when the output is short to ground, the output current would be folded-back to a less limit. Thermal Considerations The APE8975/A series can deliver a current of up to 3A over the full operating junction temperature range. However, the maximum output current must be dated at higher ambient temperature to ensure the junction temperature does not exceed 125 C. With all possible conditions, the junction temperature must be within the range specified under operating conditions. Power dissipation can be calculated based on the output current and the voltage drop across regulator. PD = (VIN - VOUT) IOUT The final operating junction temperature for any set of conditions can be estimated by the following thermal equation : PD (MAX) = (TJ (MAX) - TA) / JA Where TJ (MAX) is the maximum junction temperature of the die (125oC) and TA is the maximum ambient temperature. The junction to ambient thermal resistance ( JA) for SOT-223 package at recommended minimum footprint is 75C/W that is connect 1 in2 PCB copper area to tap pin. 5 Advanced Power Electronics Corp. APE8975/A APPLICATION INFORMATION PCB Layout An input capacitance of ~10F is required between the APE8975/A input pin and ground (the amount of the capacitance may be increased without limit), this capacitor must be located a distance of not more than 1cm from the input and return to a clean analog ground. Input capacitor can filter out the input voltage spike caused by the surge current due to the inductive effect of the package pin and the printed circuit board ' s routing wire. Otherwise, the actual voltage at the VIN pin may exceed the absolute maximum rating. The output capacitor also must be located a distance of not more than 1cm from output to a clean analog ground. Because it can filter out the output spike caused by the surge current due to the inductive effect of the package pin and the printed circuit board's routing wire. 6 Advanced Power Electronics Corp.
