GENERAL DESCRIPTION
Designed specially for video applications where a very low dropout is critical, the AMS1505V series of adjustable and fixed
low dropout voltage regulators provide 5A output current to power the new generation of high speed video cards. The dropout
voltage of the device is 200mV max. at 3A loads and rising to 350mV at maximum output current. A second low current
input voltage 1V or greater then the output voltage is required to achieve this dropout.
New features have been added to the AMS1505V: a remote Sense pin is brought out virtually eliminating output voltage
variations due to load changes. The typical load regulation, measured at the Sense pin, for a load current step of 100mA to 5A
is less than 1mV. The AMS1505V series has fast transient response. To further improve the transient response the addition of
a small capacitor on the Adjust pin is recommended.
The AMS1505V series are ideal for generating supplies of 2V to 3V on boards where both 5V and 3.3V supplies are
available.
•• Post Regulators for Switching Supplies
The AMS1505V devices are offered in 5 lead TO-220 and TO-263 (plastic DD) packages.

Note 3: The dropout voltage for the AMS1505V is caused by either minimum control voltage or minimum power voltage. The specifications represent the
minimum input/output voltage required to maintain within 1% regulation.
Note 4: For the adjustable device the minimum load current is the minimum current required to maintain regulation. Normally the current in the resistor divider
used to set the output voltage is selected to meet the minimum load current requirement.
Note 5: The control pin current is the drive current required for the output transistor. This current will track output current with a ratio of about 1:100. The
minimum value is equal to the quiescent current of the device.
PIN FUNCTIONS
Sense (Pin 1): This pin is the positive side of the
reference voltage for the device. With this pin it is
possible to Kelvin sense the output voltage at the load.
Adjust/Ground (Pin 2): This pin is the negative side of
the reference voltage for the device. Adding a small
bypass capacitor from the Adjust pin to ground improves
the transient response.
Output (Pin 3): This is the power output of the device.
V
(Pin 4): This pin is the supply pin for the
control circuitry of the device. The current flow into
this pin will be about 1% of the output current. The
voltage at this pin must be 1.3V or greater than the
output voltage for the device to regulate.
V
(Pin 5): This pin is the collector to the power
device of the AMS1505V. The output load current is
supplied through this pin. The voltage at this pin must
be between 0.1V and 0.35V greater than the output
voltage for the device to regulate.
