Figure 2. Adjustable Output Operation
The ADP1764 is available in fixed output voltages ranging from
0.55 V to 1.5 V. The output voltage (VOUT) of the adjustable
output model can be set from 0.5 V to 1.5 V through an
external resistor connected between VADJ and ground.
The ADP1764 has an externally programmable soft start time by
connecting a capacitor to the SS pin. Short-circuit and thermal
overload protection circuits prevent damage in adverse conditions.
The ADP1764 is available in a small, 16-lead LFCSP package for
the smallest footprint solution to meet a variety of applications.

The ADP1764 is a low noise, low dropout (LDO) linear
regulator. It is designed to operate from a single input supply
with an input voltage as low as 1.10 V without the requirement
of an external bias supply to increase efficiency and provide up
to 4 A of output current (IOUT).

Guaranteed by characterization but not production tested.
Based on an endpoint calculation using 100 mA and 4 A loads.
Dropout voltage is defined as the input-to-output voltage differential when the input voltage is set to the nominal output voltage, which applies only for output
voltages above 1.1 V.
4
Start-up time is the time from the rising edge of VEN to VOUT being at 90% of its nominal value.
5
Current-limit threshold is the current at which the output voltage drops to 90% of the specified typical value. For example, the current limit for a 1.0 V output voltage
is defined as the current that causes the output voltage to drop to 90% of 1.0 V, or 0.9 V.

The minimum input and output capacitance must be >14.5 µF over the full range of the operating conditions. Consider the full range of the operating conditions in
the application during device selection to ensure that the minimum capacitance specification is met. X7R and X5R type capacitors are recommended. Y5V and Z5U
capacitors are not recommended for use with any LDO.

Stresses at or above those listed under Absolute Maximum
Ratings may cause permanent damage to the product. This is a
stress rating only; functional operation of the product at these
or any other conditions above those indicated in the operational
section of this specification is not implied. Operation beyond
the maximum operating conditions for extended periods may
affect product reliability.
THERMAL DATA
Absolute maximum ratings apply individually only, not in
combination. The ADP1764 can be damaged when the junction
temperature limits are exceeded. The use of appropriate thermal
management techniques is recommended to ensure that the
maximum junction temperature does not exceed the limits shown
in Table 4.
Use the following equation to calculate the junction temperature
(TJ) from the board temperature (TBOARD) or package top
temperature (TTOP):
ΨJB of the package is based on modeling and calculation using a
4-layer board. JESD51-12, Guidelines for Reporting and Using
Electronic Package Thermal Information, states that thermal
characterization parameters are not the same as thermal
resistances. ΨJB measures the component power flowing
through multiple thermal paths rather than a single path as in
thermal resistance, θJB. Therefore, ΨJB thermal paths include
convection from the top of the package as well as radiation from
the package, factors that make ΨJB more useful in real-world
applications.
THERMAL RESISTANCE/PARAMETER
Values shown in Table 5 are calculated in compliance with
JEDEC standards for thermal reporting. θJA is the natural
convection junction to ambient thermal resistance measured in a
one cubic foot sealed enclosure. θJC is the junction to case thermal
resistance. θJB is the junction to board thermal resistance. ΨJB is
the junction to board thermal characterization parameter. ΨJT is
the junction to top thermal characterization parameter.
In applications where high maximum power dissipation exists,
close attention to thermal board design is required. Thermal
resistance/parameter values may vary, depending on the PCB
material, layout, and environmental conditions.

with four thermal vias. See JEDEC JESD51-12.

Description
Regulator Input Supply. Bypass VIN to GND with a 22 µF or greater capacitor. Note that all four VIN pins must be
connected to the source supply.
Reference Filter Capacitor. Connect a 1 µF capacitor from the REFCAP pin to ground. Do not connect a load from
this pin to ground.
Regulated Input Supply to LDO Amplifier. Bypass VREG to GND with a 1 µF or greater capacitor. Do not connect a
load from this pin to ground.
Ground.
Adjustable Voltage Pin for the Adjustable Output Option. Connect a 10 kΩ external resistor between the VADJ pin
and ground to set the output voltage to 1.5 V. For the fixed output option, leave this pin floating.
Regulated Output Voltage. Bypass VOUT to GND with a 22 µF or greater capacitor. Note that all four VOUT pins
must be connected to the load.
Sense Input. The SENSE pin measures the actual output voltage at the load and feeds it to the error amplifier.
Connect SENSE as close to the load as possible to minimize the effect of IR drop between VOUT and the load.
Soft Start Pin. A capacitor connected to this pin determines the soft start time.
Power-Good Output. This open-drain output requires an external pull-up resistor. If the device is in shutdown
mode, current-limit mode, or thermal shutdown mode, or if the VOUT voltage falls below 90% of the nominal
output voltage, the PG pin immediately transitions to low.
Enable Input. Drive the EN pin high to turn on the regulator. Drive the EN pin low to turn off the regulator. For
automatic startup, connect the EN pin to the VIN pin.
Exposed Pad. The exposed pad is electrically connected to GND. It is recommended that this pad be connected to
a ground plane on the PCB. The exposed pad is on the bottom of the package.

ADP1764
THEORY OF OPERATION
The ADP1764 is a low dropout (LDO), low noise linear regulator
that uses an advanced proprietary architecture to achieve high
efficiency regulation. It also provides high PSRR and excellent line
and load transient response using a small 22 µF ceramic output
capacitor. The device operates from a 1.10 V to 1.98 V input rail
to provide up to 4 A of output current. The supply current in
shutdown mode is less than 4 µA.

For applications that require a controlled startup, the ADP1764
provides a programmable soft start function. The programmable
soft start is useful for reducing inrush current upon startup and
for providing voltage sequencing. To implement soft start, connect
a small ceramic capacitor from SS to GND. At startup, a 10 µA
current source charges this capacitor. The voltage at SS limits
the ADP1764 start-up output voltage, providing a smooth ramp up
to the nominal output voltage. To calculate the start-up time for
the fixed output (tSTARTUP_FIXED) and adjustable (tSTARTUP_ADJ) output,
use the following equations:
tSTARTUP_FIXED = tDELAY + VREF × (CSS/ISS)

tDELAY is a fixed delay of 100 µs.
VREF is a 0.5 V internal reference for the fixed output model option.

Internally, the ADP1764 consists of a reference, an error amplifier,
and a pass device. The output current is delivered via the pass
device, which is controlled by the error amplifier, forming a
negative feedback system that ideally drives the feedback voltage
to equal the reference voltage. If the feedback voltage is lower than
the reference voltage, the negative feedback drives more current,
increasing the output voltage. If the feedback voltage is higher than
the reference voltage, the negative feedback drives less current,
decreasing the output voltage.

ADJUSTABLE OUTPUT VOLTAGE
POWER-GOOD (PG) FEATURE
The output voltage of the ADP1764 can be set over a 0.5 V to
1.5 V range. Connect a resistor (RADJ) from the VADJ pin to
ground to set the output voltage. To calculate the output voltage
(VOUT), use the following equation:
The ADP1764 provides a power-good pin (PG) to indicate the
status of the output. This open-drain output requires an external
pull-up resistor that can be connected to VIN or VOUT. If the
device is in shutdown mode, current-limit mode, or thermal
shutdown, or if it falls below 90% of the nominal output voltage,
PG immediately transitions low. During soft start, the rising
threshold of the power-good signal is 96.5% of the nominal
output voltage.
VOUT = AD × (RADJ × IADJ)
(3)
where:
AD is the gain factor with a typical value of 2.99 between the
VADJ pin and VOUT pin.
IADJ is the 50 μA constant current out of the VADJ pin.
ENABLE FEATURE
The ADP1764 uses the EN pin to enable and disable the VOUT
pins under normal operating conditions. As shown in Figure 42,
when a rising voltage on EN crosses the active threshold, VOUT
turns on. When a falling voltage on EN crosses the inactive
threshold, VOUT turns off.
T
The open-drain output is held low when the ADP1764 has
sufficient input voltage to turn on the internal PG transistor. An
optional soft start delay can be detected. The PG transistor is
terminated via a pull-up resistor to VIN or VOUT.
Power-good accuracy is 93.8% of the nominal regulator output
voltage when this voltage is rising, with a 96.5% trip point when
this voltage is falling.
Regulator input voltage brownouts or glitches trigger a power
no good if VOUT falls below 93.8%.
A normal power-down triggers a power good when VOUT is
at 96.5%.

APPLICATIONS INFORMATION
CAPACITOR SELECTION
Input and Output Capacitor Properties
Output Capacitor
Use any good quality ceramic capacitors with the ADP1764 as
long as they meet the minimum capacitance and maximum ESR
requirements. Ceramic capacitors are manufactured with a variety
of dielectrics, each with different behavior over temperature and
applied voltage. Capacitors must have a dielectric adequate to
ensure the minimum capacitance over the necessary temperature
range and dc bias conditions. X5R or X7R dielectrics with a voltage
rating of 6.3 V or 10 V are recommended. Y5V and Z5U dielectrics
are not recommended, due to their poor temperature and dc bias
characteristics.
The ADP1764 is designed for operation with small, space-saving
ceramic capacitors, but it can function with most commonly used
capacitors as long as care is taken with the effective series
resistance (ESR) value. The ESR of the output capacitor affects
the stability of the LDO control loop. A minimum of 22 μF
capacitance with an ESR of 50 mΩ or less is recommended to
ensure the stability of the ADP1764. Transient response to changes
in load current is also affected by output capacitance. Using a larger
value of output capacitance improves the transient response of the

of a C2012X5R1A226K125AB, 0805 case, 22 μF, 10 V, X5R
capacitor. The voltage stability of a capacitor is strongly influenced
by the capacitor size and voltage rating. In general, a capacitor
in a larger package or with a higher voltage rating exhibits
improved stability. The temperature variation of the X5R
dielectric is about ±15% over the −55°C to +85°C temperature
range and is not a function of package size or voltage rating.

Input Bypass Capacitor
Connecting a 22 μF capacitor from the VIN pin to the GND pin
to the ground plane reduces the circuit sensitivity to the PCB
layout, especially when long input traces or high source impedances are encountered. If an output capacitance greater than 22 μF
is required, it is recommended to increase the input capacitor to
match it.
In this example, the worst case temperature coefficient
(TEMPCO) over −55°C to +125°C is assumed to be 15% for an
X5R dielectric. The tolerance of the capacitor (TOL) is assumed
to be 10%, and COUT = 19.48 μF at 1.0 V, as shown in Figure 48.
Substituting these values in Equation 4 yields

output and reducing the output current to zero. As the junction
temperature cools and drops below 136°C, the output turns on
and conducts 6.5 A into the short, again causing the junction
temperature to rise above 152°C. This thermal oscillation between
136°C and 152°C causes a current oscillation between 6.5 A and
0 A that continues as long as the short remains at the output.
Therefore, the capacitor chosen in this example meets the
minimum capacitance requirement of the LDO over temperature
and tolerance at the chosen output voltage.
To guarantee the performance of the ADP1764, it is imperative
to evaluate the effects of dc bias, temperature, and tolerances on
the behavior of the capacitors for each application.
Current-limit and thermal overload protections are intended to
protect the device against accidental overload conditions. For
reliable operation, device power dissipation must be externally
limited so that junction temperatures do not exceed 125°C.
UNDERVOLTAGE LOCKOUT
The ADP1764 has an internal undervoltage lockout (UVLO)
circuit that disables all inputs and the output when the input
voltage is less than approximately 1.06 V. The UVLO ensures that
the ADP1764 inputs and output behave in a predictable manner
during power-up.
PARALLELING ADP1764 DEVICES FOR HIGH
CURRENT APPLICATIONS
In applications where high output current is required while
maintaining low noise and high PSRR performance, connect two
ADP1764 devices in parallel to handle loads up to 7 A.
CURRENT-LIMIT AND THERMAL OVERLOAD
PROTECTION
The ADP1764 is protected against damage due to excessive power
dissipation by current-limit and thermal overload protection
circuits. The ADP1764 is designed to reach the current limit
when the output load reaches 6.5 A (typical). When the output
load exceeds 6.5 A, the output voltage is reduced to maintain a
constant current limit.
When paralleling the ADP1764, the two outputs must be of the
same voltage setting to maintain good current sharing between
the two LDOs. To improve current sharing accuracy, add identical
ballast resistors (RBALLAST) at the output of each regulator, as shown
in Figure 49. Note that large ballast resistors improve current
sharing accuracy, but degrade the load regulation performance
and increase the losses along the power line. Therefore, it is best
to keep the ballast resistors at a minimum. In addition, tie the
VADJ, SS, and REFCAP pins of the LDO regulators together to
minimize error between the two outputs.
Thermal overload protection is included that limits the junction
temperature to a maximum of 152°C (typical). Under extreme
conditions (that is, high ambient temperature and power dissipation) when the junction temperature begins to rise above 152°C,
the output turns off, reducing the output current to zero. When the
junction temperature drops below 136°C (typical), the output turns
on again, and the output current is restored to its nominal value.
Use Equation 5 to calculate the output of the two paralleled
ADP1764 LDOs.
VOUT = 2 × AD × (RADJ × IADJ)
Consider the case where a hard short from VOUT to ground
occurs. At first, the ADP1764 reaches the current limit so that
only 6.5 A is conducted into the short. If self-heating of the
junction becomes great enough to cause its temperature to rise
above 152°C, thermal shutdown activates, turning off the
where:
AD is the gain factor with a typical value of 2.99 between the
VADJ pin and VOUT pin.
IADJ is the 50 μA constant current out of the VADJ pin.

To guarantee reliable operation, the junction temperature of the
ADP1764 must not exceed 125°C. To ensure that the junction
temperature stays below this maximum value, the user must be
aware of the parameters that contribute to junction temperature
changes. These parameters include board temperature, power
dissipation in the power device, and thermal characterization
parameter between the junction and board (ΨJB). The ΨJB
parameter is dependent on the package assembly compounds and
the PCB copper area. Table 7 shows the typical ΨJB values for the
16-lead LFCSP package for various PCB copper areas.

When the junction temperature exceeds 152°C, the regulator
enters thermal shutdown. The regulator recovers only after the
junction temperature decreases below 136°C to prevent any
permanent damage. Therefore, thermal analysis for the chosen
application is important to guarantee reliable performance over
all conditions. The junction temperature of the die is the sum of
the board temperature and the temperature rise of the package
due to the power dissipation, as shown in Equation 6.

JUNCTION TEMPERATURE (°C)
In applications with a low input-to-output voltage differential,
the ADP1764 does not dissipate much heat. However, in
applications with high ambient temperature and/or high input
voltage, the heat dissipated in the package may become large
enough to cause the junction temperature of the die to exceed
the maximum junction temperature of 125°C.
Figure 50 to Figure 55 show the junction temperature calculations
for the different board temperatures, power dissipation, and
areas of the PCB copper.
