Evaluating the ADP223/ADP225 Dual, 300 mA Output, Adjustable, Low Noise, High
PSRR Voltage Regulator
FEATURES
GENERAL DESCRIPTION
Input voltage range: 2.5 V to 5.5 V
Output current range: 0 mA to 300 mA per output
Output voltage accuracy: ±1%
Operating temperature range: −40°C to +125°C
The ADP223/ADP225 evaluation board is used to demonstrate
the functionality of the ADP223 and ADP225 dual adjustable
linear regulators. The ADP223 and ADP225 are identical except
that the ADP225 incorporates the quick output discharge
(QOD) function.
Simple device measurements, such as line and load regulation,
dropout voltage, and ground current consumption, can be
demonstrated with only a single voltage supply, voltmeters, a
current meter, and load resistors.
For more information about the ADP223/ADP225 linear
regulator, see the ADP222/ADP223/ADP224/ADP225 data sheet.

Connect the positive terminals (+) of the voltmeters to TB5

For line regulation measurements, the outputs of the regulator are
monitored while the input of the regulator is varied. For good
line regulation, the outputs must change as little as possible with
varying input levels. To ensure that the device is not in dropout
mode during this measurement, VIN must be varied between
VOUTNOM + 0.5 V (or 2.5 V, whichever is greater) and VINMAX.
For example, for an ADP223/ADP225 with 1.8 V outputs, VIN
must be varied between 2.5 V and 5.5 V. This measurement can be
repeated under different load conditions. Figure 4 shows the
typical line regulation performance of a single 1.8 V output of an
ADP223/ADP225.
The voltage source can now be turned on. If J1 or J2 is inserted
(connecting EN1 or EN2 to VIN for automatic startup), the
regulator powers up.

VOUT (V)
Figure 3 shows the ADP223/ADP225 evaluation board
connected to a voltage source and voltmeters for basic output
voltage accuracy measurements. Resistors can be used as the load
for the regulator. Ensure that the resistors have a power rating
adequate to handle the power expected to be dissipated across
them. An electronic load can also be used as an alternative. In
addition, ensure that the voltage source can supply enough
current for the expected load levels.

LOAD REGULATION
DROPOUT VOLTAGE
For load regulation measurements, the outputs of the regulator
are monitored while the loads are varied. For good load regulation,
the outputs must change as little as possible with varying load.
The input voltage must be held constant during this measurement.
The load currents can be varied from 0 mA to 300 mA per output.
Figure 5 shows the typical load regulation performance of a single
1.8 V output of the ADP223/ADP225 for an input voltage of 2.5 V
over the load current range of 100 µA to 300 mA.
Dropout voltage can be measured using the configuration shown
in Figure 3. Dropout voltage is defined as the input-to-output
voltage differential when the input voltage is set to the nominal
output voltage. This applies only for output voltages above 2.5 V.
Dropout voltage increases with larger loads. For more accurate
measurements, an additional voltmeter can be used to monitor
the input voltage across the input capacitor. The input supply
voltage may need to be adjusted to account for IR drops, especially
if large load currents are used. Figure 6 shows the typical curve
of the dropout voltage measurement with different load currents.

Ground current measurements can determine how much current
the internal circuits of the regulator are consuming while the
circuits perform the regulation function. To be efficient, the
regulator must consume as little current as possible. Typically, the
regulator uses the maximum current when supplying its largest
load level (300 mA per output). Figure 8 shows the typical ground
current consumption for various load levels at an input voltage of
2.5 V for the single and dual output configurations. The current
shown in Figure 8 does not include the current due to the output
voltage setting dividers.

PRINTED CIRCUIT BOARD LAYOUT
CONSIDERATIONS
Heat dissipation from the package can be improved by increasing
the amount of copper attached to the pins of the ADP223/ADP225.
09376-010
Place the input capacitor as close as possible to the VIN and GND
pins. Place the output capacitors as close as possible to the VOUT1,
VOUT2, and GND pins. Use 0402 or 0603 size capacitors and
resistors to achieve the smallest possible footprint solution on
boards where area is limited.
