AP7335-10

AP7335 300mA, Low Quiescent Current, Fast Transient Low Dropout Linear Regulator Description The AP7335 is a 300mA, adjustable and fixed output voltage, low dropout linear regulator. The device included pass element, error amplifier, band-gap, current limit and thermal shutdown circuitry. The device is turned on when EN pin is set to logic high level. The characteristics of low dropout voltage and low quiescent current make it suitable for low power applications, for example, battery powered devices. The typical quiescent current is approximately 35μA. Built-in current-limit and thermal-shutdown functions prevent IC from damage in fault conditions. This device is available with adjustable output from 0.8V to 5.0V, and fixed version with 0.8V, 1.0V, 1.2V, 1.5V, 1.8V, 2.0V, 2.5V, 2.8V, 3.0V, 3.3V and 3.9V outputs. Please contact your local sales office for any other voltage options. The AP7335 is available in SOT25 and DFN2020-6 packages.

The amount of the capacitance may be increased without limit. This input capacitor must be located as close as possible to the device to assure input stability and reduce noise. For PCB layout, a wide copper trace is required for both IN and GND pins. A lower ESR capacitor type allows the use of less capacitance, while higher ESR type requires more capacitance. The output voltage is calculated by: ⎛ R⎞ VOUT = VREF ⎜1 + 1 ⎟ ⎜ R⎟ 2⎠ ⎝ Where VREF=0.8V (the internal reference voltage) Rearranging the equation will give the following that is used for adjusting the output to a particular voltage: ⎛V ⎞ R1 = R2 ⎜ OUT − 1⎟ ⎜V ⎟ ⎝ REF ⎠ N EW PRODUCT Output Capacitor The output capacitor is required to stabilize and improve the transient response of the LDO. The AP7335 is stable with very small ceramic output capacitors. Using a ceramic capacitor value that is at least 1μF with ESR > 15mΩ on the output ensures stability. Higher capacitance values help to improve line and load transient response. The output capacitance may be increased to keep low undershoot and overshoot. Output capacitor must be placed as close as possible to OUT and GND pins. To maintain the stability of the internal reference voltage, R2 need to be kept smaller than 80kΩ. No Load Stability Other than external resistor divider, no minimum load is required to keep the device stable. The device will remain stable and regulated in no load condition. Region of Stable COUT ESR vs. Load Current 100 Unstable Range ON/OFF Input Operation The AP7335 is turned on by setting the EN pin high, and is turned off by pulling it low. If this feature is not used, the EN pin should be tied to IN pin to keep the regulator output on at all time. To ensure proper operation, the signal source used to drive the EN pin must be able to swing above and below the specified turn-on/off voltage thresholds listed in the Electrical Characteristics section under VIL and VIH. 10 COUT ESR (Ω) 1 Stable R VIN=4.3V CIN=COUT=1μF 0.1 0.01 Unstable Range Current Limit Protection When output current at OUT pin is higher than current limit threshold, the current limit protection will be triggered and clamp the output current to approximately 600mA to prevent over-current and to protect the regulator from damage due to overheating. 0.001 0 50 100 150 200 250 300 Load Current (mA) Short Circuit Protection Adjustable Operation The AP7335 provides output voltage from 0.8V to 5.0V through external resistor divider as shown below. V IN IN OUT When OUT pin is short-circuit to GND, short circuit protection will be triggered and clamp the output current to approximately 140mA. This feature protects the regulator from over-current and damage due to overheating. V OUT Thermal Shutdown Protection R1 1u F A P 7335 1uF E n a b le EN GND ADJ R2 Thermal protection disables the output when the junction temperature rises to approximately +145°C, allowing the device to cool down. When the junction temperature reduces to approximately +130°C the output circuitry is enabled again. Depending on power dissipation, thermal resistance, and ambient temperature, the thermal protection circuit may cycle on and off. This cycling limits the heat dissipation of the regulator, protecting it from damage due to overheating.

This feature will help load circuitry move in and out of standby mode in real time, eventually extend battery life for mobile phones and other portable devices. Low Quiescent Current The AP7335, consuming only around 35µA for all input range, provides great power saving in portable and low power applications. Wide Output Range The AP7335, with a wide output range of 0.8V to 5.0V, provides a versatile LDO solution for many portable applications. Fast Transient Response N EW PRODUCT Fast transient response LDO can extend battery life. TDMA-based cell phone protocols such as Global System for Mobile Communications (GSM) have a transmit/receive duty factor of only 12.5 percent, enabling power savings by putting much of the baseband circuitry into standby mode in between transmit cycles. In baseband circuits, the load often transitions virtually instantaneously from 100µA to 100mA. To meet this load requirement, the LDO must react very quickly without a large voltage drop or overshoot — a requirement that cannot be met with conventional, general-purpose LDO. The AP7335’s fast transient response from 0 to 300mA provides stable voltage supply for fast DSP and GSM chipset with fast changing load. Power Dissipation The device power dissipation and proper sizing of the thermal plane that is connected to the thermal pad is critical to avoid thermal shutdown and ensure reliable operation. Power dissipation of the device depends on input voltage and load conditions and can be calculated by: PD = (VIN - VOUT) X IOUT The maximum power dissipation, handled by the device, depends on the maximum junction to ambient thermal resistance, maximum ambient temperature, and maximum device junction temperature, which can be calculated by the equation in the following: PD (max@TA) = ( +145°C - TA ) R θJA AP7335 Document number: DS32259 Rev. 2 - 2 12 of 17 www.diodes.com September 2010 © Diodes Incorporated AP7335 300mA, Low Quiescent Current, Fast Transient Low Dropout Linear Regulator Ordering Information AP7335 - XX XX G - X Output Blank : ADJ 08 : 0.8V 10 : 1.0V 12 : 1.2V 15 : 1.5V 18 : 1.8V 20 : 2.0V 25 : 2.5V 28 : 2.8V 30 : 3.0V 33 : 3.3V 39 : 3.9V Device AP7335-XXWG-7 AP7335-XXSNG-7 Notes: Package W : SOT25 SN : DFN2020-6 Green Packing 7 : Tape & Reel G : Green N EW PRODUCT Package Code W SN Packaging (Note 6) SOT25 DFN2020-6 7”/13” Tape and Reel Quantity Part Number Suffix 3000/Tape & Reel -7 3000/Tape & Reel -7 6.
