The AP033 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 AP033 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. Stability The AP033 requires the use of an output capacitor as part of the frequency compensation in order to make the regulator stable. For most applications a minimum of 10uF aluminum electrolytic capacitor insures both stability and good transient response. Thermal Design The AP033 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. Load Regulation Since the AP033 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. 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.
