AQ1541CY-S4-33-TRL

AQ1541 Low Dropout 1 Amp Voltage Regulator with Enable Function Product Specification Revision 2.2 September 13, 2006 General Description The AQ1541 is a low dropout three terminal voltage regulator, offered in popular fixed options or an adjustable version that can set a precise voltage from 1.22V to 12V with two external resistors. It drops into the footprint of the popular LM1117 SOT-223 and provides a true fourth pin separated from the output tab. The extra pin allows for an enable function that provides a remote turn-off for low power consumption. It draws virtually zero current in shutdown mode. The Enable pin implements Sequential, Ratiometric, or Simultaneous sequencing schemes. To assure accuracy within 1.5% over temperature the heart of the AQ1541 is a selfcorrecting AcuRef™ bandgap reference. On-chip current limit and thermal shutdown with hysteresis protects against any combination of overload and ambient temperature that might cause the junction temperature to exceed safe limits. The AQ1541 is featured in the new SOT223 4-lead TetraPackTM package.

Thermal Considerations When an integrated circuit operates with an appreciable current, its junction temperature is elevated. It is important to quantify its thermal limits in order to achieve acceptable performance and reliability. This limit is determined by summing the individual parts consisting of a series of temperature rises from the semiconductor junction to the operating environment. The heat generated at the device junction flows through the die to the die attach pad, through the lead frame to the surrounding case material, to the printed circuit board, and eventually to the ambient environment. The AQ1541 regulators have internal thermal shutdown to protect the device from overheating. Under all possible operating conditions, the junction temperature of the AQ1541 must be lower than 125°C. A heatsink may be required depending on the maximum power dissipation and maximum ambient temperature of the application. To determine if a heatsink is needed, the power dissipated by the regulator, PD, must be calculated: PD= (VIN-VOUT) IL where the IL is the load current. The next parameter which must be calculated is the maximum allowable temperature rise, T(max): T(max)=TJ(max)-TA(max) where TJ(max) is the maximum allowable junction temperature (125°C), and TA(max) is the maximum ambient temperature which will be encountered in the application. Using the calculated values for T(max) and PD, the maximum allowable value for the junction to ambient thermal resistance (θJA) can be calculated: θJA=T(max)/ PD If the maximum allowable value for θJA is found to be greater than the junction to ambient thermal resistance for the package used, no heatsink is needed since the package alone will dissipate enough heat to satisfy these requirements. www.acutechnology.com 9 Rev. 2.2 September 13, 2005 Acutechnology Semiconductor Inc.
