Current-limit threshold is defined as the current at which the output voltage drops to 90% of the specified typical value. For example, the current limit for a 3.0 V
output voltage is defined as the current that causes the output voltage to drop to 90% of 3.0 V, or 2.7 V.
5
Dropout voltage is defined as the input to output voltage differential when the input voltage is set to the nominal output voltage. Dropout voltage applies only for
output voltages greater than 2.3 V.
6
Start-up time is defined as the time between the rising edge of VEN to VOUT, VREG, or VREF being at 90% of its nominal value.
7
The output voltage is disabled until the VREG UVLO rise threshold is crossed. The VREG output is disabled until the input voltage UVLO rising threshold is crossed.

The minimum input and output capacitance must be greater than 7.0 μF over the full range of operating conditions. The full range of operating conditions in the
application must be considered 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 low dropout regulator.

ABSOLUTE MAXIMUM RATINGS
Junction to ambient thermal resistance (θJA) of the package is
based on modeling and calculation using a 4-layer board. The
junction to ambient thermal resistance is highly dependent on
the application and board layout. In applications where high
maximum power dissipation exists, close attention to thermal
board design is required. The value of θJA may vary, depending
on PCB material, layout, and environmental conditions. The
specified values of θJA are based on a 4-layer, 4 in. × 3 in. circuit
board. See JESD51-7 and JESD51-9 for detailed information on
the board construction.

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 ADP7156 can be damaged when the junction
temperature limits are exceeded. Monitoring ambient temperature does not guarantee that TJ is within the specified temperature
limits. In applications with high power dissipation and poor
thermal resistance, the maximum ambient temperature may
need to be derated.
In applications with moderate power dissipation and low
printed circuit board (PCB) thermal resistance, the maximum
ambient temperature can exceed the maximum limit as long as
the junction temperature is within specification limits. The
junction temperature (TJ) of the device is dependent on the
ambient temperature (TA), the power dissipation of the device
(PD), and the junction to ambient thermal resistance of the
package (θJA).
ΨJB is the junction to board thermal characterization parameter
with units of °C/W. 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. Maximum junction temperature (TJ) is calculated
from the board temperature (TB) and power dissipation (PD) using
the following formula:
TJ = TB + (PD × ΨJB)
See JESD51-8 and JESD51-12 for more detailed information
about ΨJB.
THERMAL RESISTANCE
θJA, θJC, and ΨJB are specified for the worst case conditions, that
is, a device soldered in a circuit board for surface-mount
packages.

ADP7156
THEORY OF OPERATION
feedback voltage is higher than the reference voltage, the gate of
the PMOS device is pulled higher, allowing less current to pass
and decreasing the output voltage.
The ADP7156 is an ultralow noise, high PSRR linear regulator
targeting radio frequency (RF) applications. The input voltage
range is 2.3 V to 5.5 V, and it can deliver up to 1.2 A of load
current. Typical shutdown current consumption is 0.2 µA at
room temperature.
By heavily filtering the reference voltage, the ADP7156 can
achieve 1.7 nV/√Hz typical output noise spectral density from
10 kHz to 1 MHz. Because the error amplifier is always in unity
gain, the output noise is independent of the output voltage.
Optimized for use with 10 µF ceramic capacitors, the ADP7156
provides excellent transient performance.
VREG
The ADP7156 uses the EN pin to enable and disable the VOUT pin
under normal operating conditions. When EN is high, VOUT
turns on, and when EN is low, VOUT turns off. For automatic
startup, tie EN to VIN.

Internally, the ADP7156 consists of a reference, an error amplifier, and a P-channel MOSFET pass transistor. The output current
is delivered via the PMOS pass device, which is controlled by
the error amplifier. The error amplifier compares the reference
voltage with the feedback voltage from the output and amplifies
the difference. If the feedback voltage is lower than the reference
voltage, the gate of the PMOS device is pulled lower, allowing
more current to pass and increasing the output voltage. If the

Connecting a 10 µF capacitor from VIN to ground reduces the
circuit sensitivity to PCB layout, especially when long input
traces or high source impedance are encountered.
The REF capacitor, CREF, is necessary to stabilize the reference
amplifier. Connect at 1 µF or greater capacitor between REF and
ground.
CAPACITOR SELECTION
BYP Capacitor
Multilayer ceramic capacitors (MLCCs) combine small size, low
ESR, low ESL, and a wide operating temperature range, making
them an ideal choice for bypass capacitors. They are not without
faults, however. Depending on the dielectric material, the
capacitance can vary dramatically with temperature, dc bias,
and ac signal level. Therefore, selecting the proper capacitor
results in the best circuit performance.
The BYP capacitor, CBYP, is necessary to filter the reference
buffer. A 1 µF capacitor is typically connected between BYP and
ground. Capacitors as small as 0.1 µF can be used; however, the
output noise voltage of the LDO increases as a result.
The ADP7156 is designed for operation with ceramic capacitors
but functions with most commonly used capacitors when care is
taken with regard to the ESR value. The ESR of the output capacitor affects the stability of the LDO control loop. A minimum of
10 µF capacitance with an ESR of 0.1 Ω or less is recommended
to ensure the stability of the ADP7156. Output capacitance also
affects transient response to changes in load current. Using a larger
value of output capacitance improves the transient response of the
ADP7156 to large changes in load current. Figure 43 shows the
transient responses for an output capacitance value of 10 µF.
T
SLEW RATE = 2.5A/µs
REF Capacitor
In addition, the BYP capacitor value can be increased to reduce
the noise below 1 kHz at the expense of increasing the start-up
time of the LDO regulator. Very large values of CBYP significantly reduce the noise below 10 Hz. Tantalum capacitors are
recommended for capacitors larger than approximately 33 µF
because solid tantalum capacitors are less prone to microphonic
noise issues. A 1 μF ceramic capacitor in parallel with the larger
tantalum capacitor is recommended to ensure good noise
performance at higher frequencies.

In this example, the worst case temperature coefficient
(tempco) over −40°C to +85°C is assumed to be 15% for an X5R
dielectric. The tolerance of the capacitor (TOL) is assumed to
be 10%, and CBIAS is 9.72 µF at 5 V, as shown in Figure 46.
Substituting these values in Equation 1 yields
Capacitor Properties
CEFF = 9.72 µF × (1 − 0.15) × (1 − 0.1) = 7.44 µF
Any good quality ceramic capacitors can be used with the
ADP7156 if 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 to 50 V are recommended. However,
Y5V and Z5U dielectrics are not recommended because of their
poor temperature and dc bias characteristics.
Figure 46 depicts the capacitance vs. dc bias voltage of a 1206,
10 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 higher voltage rating
exhibits better stability. The temperature variation of the X5R
dielectric is ~±15% over the −40°C to +85°C temperature range
and is not a function of package or voltage rating.
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 ADP7156, it is imperative
that the effects of dc bias, temperature, and tolerances on the
behavior of the capacitors be evaluated for each application.
UNDERVOLTAGE LOCKOUT (UVLO)
The ADP7156 also incorporates an internal UVLO circuit to
disable the output voltage when the input voltage is less than the
minimum input voltage rating of the regulator. The upper and
lower thresholds are internally fixed with 200 mV (typical) of
hysteresis.

This hysteresis prevents on/off oscillations that can occur when
caused by noise on the input voltage as it passes through the

Data Sheet
PROGRAMMABLE PRECISION ENABLE
ADP7156 includes a discharge resistor on each VOUT, VREG,
REF, and BYP pin. These resistors turn on when the device is
disabled, and helps to discharge the associated capacitor very
quickly.

The ADP7156 uses the EN pin to enable and disable the VOUT pin
under normal operating conditions. As shown in Figure 48, when
a rising voltage on EN crosses the upper threshold, nominally
1.22 V, VOUT turns on. When a falling voltage on EN crosses the
lower threshold, nominally 1.13 V, VOUT turns off. The hysteresis
of the EN threshold is typically 90 mV.

ADP7156
START-UP TIME
CURRENT-LIMIT AND THERMAL SHUTDOWN
The ADP7156 uses an internal soft start to limit the inrush current
when the output is enabled. The start-up time for a 3.3 V output is
approximately 1.2 ms from the time the EN active threshold is
crossed to when the output reaches 90% of its final value.
The ADP7156 is protected against damage due to excessive
power dissipation by current and thermal overload protection
circuits. The ADP7156 is designed to current limit when the
output load reaches 1.8 A (typical). When the output load
exceeds 1.8 A, the output voltage is reduced to maintain a
constant current limit.
The rise time in seconds of the output voltage (10% to 90%) is
approximately
When the ADP7156 junction temperature exceeds 150°C, the
thermal shutdown circuit turns off the output voltage, reducing
the output current to zero. Extreme junction temperature can be
the result of high current operation, poor circuit board design or
high ambient temperature. A 15°C hysteresis is included so that
the ADP7156 does not return to operation after thermal shutdown
until the on-chip temperature falls below 135°C. When the device
exits thermal shutdown, a soft start is initiated to reduce the
inrush current.

Current-limit and thermal shutdown protections are intended

the current limit and thermal shutdown.

THERMAL CONSIDERATIONS
20
In applications with a low input to output voltage differential,
the ADP7156 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
that it causes the junction temperature of the die to exceed the
maximum junction temperature of 125°C.

REF, BYP, AND VREG PINS
REF, BYP, and VREG generate voltages internally (VREF, VBYP,
and VREG) that require external bypass capacitors for proper
operation. Do not, under any circumstances, connect any loads
to these pins, because doing so compromises the noise and
PSRR performance of the ADP7156. Using larger values of CBYP,
CREF, and CREG is acceptable but can increase the start-up time,
as described in the Start-Up Time section.
The junction temperature of the die is the sum of the ambient
temperature of the environment and the temperature rise of the
package due to the power dissipation, as shown in Equation 2.
To guarantee reliable operation, the junction temperature of the
ADP7156 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 ambient temperature, power
dissipation in the power device, and thermal resistances between
the junction and ambient air (θJA). The θJA number is dependent
on the package assembly compounds that are used and the
amount of copper used to solder the exposed pad (ground) to
the PCB.

(4)
As shown in Equation 4, for a given ambient temperature, input
to output voltage differential, and continuous load current, a
minimum copper size requirement exists for the PCB to ensure
that the junction temperature does not rise above 125°C.
The heat dissipation from the package can be improved by increasing the amount of copper attached to the pins and exposed pad
of the ADP7156. Adding thermal planes underneath the package
also improves thermal performance. However, as shown in Table 7,
a point of diminishing returns is eventually reached, beyond which
an increase in the copper area does not yield significant reduction in the junction to ambient thermal resistance.
130
125
JUNCTION TEMPERATURE (°C)
Power dissipation caused by ground current is quite small and
can be ignored. Therefore, the junction temperature equation
simplifies to the following:
TJ = TA + (((VIN − VOUT) × ILOAD) × θJA)

PRINTED CIRCUIT BOARD (PCB) LAYOUT CONSIDERATIONS
12937-065
Place the input capacitor as close as possible between the
VIN pin and ground. Place the output capacitor as close as possible
between the VOUT pin and ground. Place the bypass capacitors
(CREG, CREF, and CBYP) for VREG, VREF, and VBYP close to the respective pins (VREG, REF, and BYP) and ground. The use of a 0805,
0603, or 0402 size capacitor achieves the smallest possible
footprint solution on boards where area is limited. Maximize
the amount of ground metal for the exposed pad, and use as
many vias as possible on the component side to improve thermal
dissipation.
