GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The AMS2942 are micropower voltage regulators ideally suited for use with high voltage powered systems. This device
feature very low quiescent current (typ.130µA), and very low dropout voltage (typ.45mV at light loads and 380mV at
100mA). The quiescent current increases only slightly in dropout. The AMS2942 has positive transient protection up to 60V
and can survive unregulated input transient up to 20V below ground.
AMS2942 is designed with a tight initial voltage reference tolerance, excellent load and line regulation (typ. 0.05%), and a
very low output voltage temperature coefficient, making these devices useful as a low-power voltage regulator in telephone
applications, using the telephone line as a power source.
The AMS2942 is available in a special 8-pin plastic SOIC in which pin 2 and 3 are fused together with the package paddle
serving also as heat sink. An error flag output warns of a low output voltage, often due to failing voltage on input line. A
logic-compatible shutdown input is available, which enables the regulator to be switched on and off. The output voltage can
be programmed from 1.23V to 42V with an external pair of resistors.

Note 1: Absolute Maximum Ratings are limits beyond which damage to the device may occur. Operating Ratings are conditions under which operation of the
device is guaranteed. Operating Ratings do not imply guaranteed performance limits. For guaranteed performance limits and associated test conditions, see the
Electrical Characteristics tables.

Note 3: Guaranteed and 100% production tested.
Note 4: Guaranteed but not 100% production tested. These limits are not used to calculate outgoing AQL levels.
Note 5: Dropout voltage is defined as the input to output differential at which the output voltage drops 100 mV below its nominal value measured at 1V differential.
At very low values of programmed output voltage, the minimum input supply voltage of 2V ( 2.3V over temperature) must be taken into account.
Note 6: Comparator thresholds are expressed in terms of a voltage differential at the feedback terminal below the nominal reference voltage measured at
V
IN
= ( V
+1)V. To express these thresholds in terms of output voltage change, multiply by the error amplifier gain = Vout/Vref = (R1 + R2)/R2. For example,
ONOM
at a programmed output voltage of 5V, the error output is guaranteed to go low when the output drops by 95 mV x 5V/1.235 = 384 mV. Thresholds remain constant
as a percent of V

Note 10: Output or reference voltage temperature coefficients defined as the worst case voltage change divided by the total temperature range.
Note 11: Thermal regulation is defined as the change in output voltage at a time T after a change in power dissipation is applied, excluding load or line regulation
effects. Specifications are for a 50mA load pulse at VIN =42V (1.25W pulse) for T =10 ms.
Note 12: Regulation is measured at constant junction temperature, using pulse testing with a low duty cycle. Changes in output voltage due to heating effects are
covered under the specification for thermal regulation.
Note 13: Line regulation is tested at 150°C for IL = 1 mA. For IL = 100 µA and TJ = 125°C, line regulation is guaranteed by design to 0.2%. See typical
performance characteristics for line regulation versus temperature and load current.
