GENERAL DESCRIPTION

The AMS2950 and AMS2951 are micropower voltage regulators ideally suited for use in battery-powered systems. These
devices feature very low quiescent current (typ.75µA), and very low dropout voltage (typ.45mV at light loads and 380mV at
150mA) thus prolonging battery life. The quiescent current increases only slightly in dropout. The AMS2950/AMS2951 has
positive transient protection up to 60V and can survive unregulated input transient up to 20V below ground.
The AMS2950 and AMS2951 were designed to include a tight initial tolerance (typ. 0.5%), 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
reference.
The AMS2950 is offered in the 3-pin TO-92 package. AMS2951 is available in 8-pin plastic SOIC and DIP packages and
offers three major additional system features. An error flag output warns of a low output voltage, often due to failing batteries
on input. The AMS2951 also features the logic-compatible shutdown input which enables the regulator to be switched on and
off. The AMS2951 device may be pin-strapped for a 5.0V, 3.3V, 3.0V or 2.5 output, or programmed from 1.24V to 29V 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

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

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

ONOM

example, 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

Note 8: The junction-to-ambient thermal resistance are as follows:180°C/W and 160°C/W for the TO-92 (N) package with 0.40 inch and 0.25 inch leads to the

printed circuit board (PCB) respectively, 105°C/W for the molded plastic DIP (P) and 160°C/W for the molded plastic SO-8 (S). The above thermal resistances
for the N, S and P packages apply when the package is soldered directly to the PCB.

Note 9: May exceed input supply voltage.
Note 10: When used in dual-supply systems where the output terminal sees loads returned to a negative supply, the output voltage should be diode-clamped to

ground.

Note 11: V
Note 12: Output or reference voltage temperature coefficients defined as the worst case voltage change divided by the total temperature range.
Note 13: 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 =30V (1.25W pulse) for T =10 ms.
Note 14: 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 15: Line regulation for the AMS2951 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.
Note 16: All AMS2950 devices have the nominal output voltage coded as the last two digits of the part number. In the AMS2951 products, the 2.5V 3.0V and

3.3V versions are designated by the last two digits, but the 5V version is denoted with no code of the part number.
