Applications Information Introduction The is a low dropout, high accuracy, linear regulator capable of 500mA output current and dropout voltage is typically 700mV of 1.8V output voltage. As shown in the Block Diagram, the consists of error amplifier, p-channel pass transistor, and internal feedback voltage divider. The incorporates several protection features. Current limit and thermal limit protection protect the device against current overload conditions at the output. Enable Pull EN high to enable the device and low to force shutdown. The EN pin can t be left floating and must be tied to the Vin pin if not used. Dropout Voltage Dropout voltage is defined as the minimum input to output voltage differential at which the output voltage drops 2% below its normal value measured at the specified output current. The minimum dropout voltage of regulator determines the lowest usable supply voltage. Power Supply Ripple Rejection Power Supply Ripple Rejection (PSRR) is the ability of suppressing input ripple at output terminal. PSRR is the ratio of output to input ripple which expressed in db. Increase the values of the input and output capacitors can improve ripple rejection and transient response. Capacitor Selection A 10uF input capacitor with a 10uF output capacitor is recommended for. The tantalum and aluminum electrolytic capacitor can be used. Give more consideration to the use of ceramic capacitors. The equivalent series resistance (ESR) of output capacitor affects stability and output noise. Maximum Power Dissipation The maximum power is limited by the maximum junction temperature and thermal resistance of package. The has internal thermal limit designed to protect the device during overload conditions. For normal operation, do not exceed the maximum junction temperature rating of 125 C. The power dissipated of the device is: P = I OUT (Vin - V OUT ). The maximum allowed power dissipation is: P MAX = (T J-MAX - T A ) / Rθ JA where T J-MAX is the maximum temperature, 125 C. T A is the operated ambient temperature of the regulator. Rθ JA is the thermal resistance of the junction to the ambient. Layout Consideration 1. Connect C IN and C OUT as close to the as possible to minimize the impact of PCB trace inductance. 2. Expand the copper connected to the GND can assist in spreading heat to the PCB. 5
