AP1086 1.5A Low Dropout Positive Adjustable or Fixed-Mode Regulator Features * * * * * General Description AP1086 is a low dropout positive adjustable or fixed-mode regulator with minimum of 1.5A output current capability. The product is specifically designed to provide well-regulated supply for low voltage IC applications such as high-speed bus termination and low current 3.3V logic supply. AP1086 is also well suited for other applications such as VGA cards. AP1086 is guaranteed to have <1.4V dropout at full load current making it ideal to provide well-regulated outputs of 1.25V to 5.0V with 4.7 to 12V input supply by different output voltage. 3-Terminal Adjustable or Fixed 1.5V, 1.8V, 2.5V,3.3V, 5.0V. 1.4V Maximum Dropout at Full Load Current. Fast Transient Response. Built-in Thermal Shutdown. Output Current Limiting.

For most applications a minimum of 10uF aluminum electrolytic capacitor insures both stability and good transient response. Introduction The AP1086 adjustable or fixed-mode Low Dropout(LDO) regulator is a 3 terminal device which can easily be programmed by internal mask change to any voltages within the range of 1.25 to 5V. The AP1086 only needs 1.4V differential between Vin and Vout to maintain output regulation. In addition, the output voltage tolerances are also extremely tight and they include the transient response as part of the specification. For example, Intel VRE specification calls for a total of +/- 100mV including initial tolerance, load regulation and 0 to 1.5A load step. The AP1086 is specifically designed to meet the fast current transient needs as well as providing an accurate initial voltage, reducing the overall system cost with the need for fewer output capacitors. Thermal Design The AP1086 incorporates an internal thermal shutdown that protects the device when the junction temperature exceeds the maximum allowable junction temperature. Although this device can operate with junction temperatures in the range of 150oC, it is recommended that the selected heat sink be chosen such that during maximum continuous load operation the junction temperature is kept below the temperature. Layout Consideration The output capacitors must be located as close to the Vout terminal of the device as possible. It is recommended to use a section of a layer of the PC board as a plane to connect the Vout pin to the output capacitors to prevent any high frequency oscillation that may result due to excessive trace inductance. Load Regulation Since the AP1086 is only a 3 terminal device, it is not possible to provide true remote sensing of the output voltage at the load. But it can supply good load regulation by internal feedback bypass the external loss such as adjustable mode. Stability The AP1086 requires the use of an output capacitor as part of the frequency compensation in order to Anachip Corp. www.anachip.com.tw Rev.1.0 May. 14, 2004 2/9 AP1086 1.5A Low Dropout Positive Adjustable or Fixed-Mode Regulator Connection Diagram 3 PIN TO263 FRONT VIEW 2 Vout FRONT VIEW FRONT VIEW 2 Adj (GND) 1 3 PIN TO220 3 Vin 3 3 PIN TO252 1 Tab is Vout Vin Vout 3 Vin 2 Vout 1 Adj (GND) Adj (GND) Tab is Vout Tab is Vout Pin Descriptions NAME I/O Adj (GND) Vout Vin O I PIN # FUNCTION 1 Adjustable (Ground only for fixed mode) 2 The output of the regulator. A minimum of 10uF capacitor must be connected from this pin to ground to insure stability. 3 The input pin of regulator. Typically a large storage 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. This pin must always be 1.4V higher than Vout in order for the device to regulate properly.
