AMS500 series consists of positive fixed and adjustable voltage regulators ideally suited for use in battery-powered systems.
The
These devices feature very low quiescent current of 0.8mA or less when supplying 50mA loads. This unique characteristic and the
low input-output differential required for proper regulation (0.2V for output currents of 100mA) make the AMS500 ideal to use
for standby power systems.
Internal circuitry of AMS500 is protected from input fault conditions caused by input voltages that exceed maximum rated input
voltage. During line transients, when the input voltage to the regulator can momentarily exceed the specified maximum operating
voltage, the regulator will automatically shut down to protect both internal circuits and the load. The AMS500 series also includes
internal current limiting, thermal shutdown.
The AMS500 is offered in 3 lead TO-92, SOT-89, SOT-223 and 5 leads SOT-23 packages.

Note 1: Absolute Maximum Ratings are limits beyond which damage to the device may occur. For guaranteed performance limits and associated test conditions,
see the Electrical Characteristics tables.
Note 2: To ensure constant junction temperature, low duty cycle pulse testing is used.
Note 3: Limits appearing in boldface type apply over the entire junction temperature range for operation. Limits appearing in normal type apply for TA = TJ =
25°C.
Note 4: The maximum allowable power dissipation is a function of the maximum junction temperature TJ(MAX), the junction-to ambient thermal resistance θ
and the ambient temperature TA. The maximum allowable power dissipation at any ambient temperature is calculated using:
Where the value of the junction-to-ambient thermal resistance are as follows: 195°C/W for TO-92 (N), 110°C/W for SOT-89 (L), 90°C/W for SOT-223 and
220°C/W for 5 lead SOT-23.
Dropout Voltage: The input-output voltage differential at which
the circuit stops to regulate against further reduction in input
voltage. Measured when the output voltage has dropped 100mV
from the nominal voltage obtained at 1V input, dropout voltage is
dependent upon load current and junction temperature.
Input Voltage: The DC voltage applied to the input terminal with
pect to ground. Input-Output Differential: The voltage
res
difference between the unregulated input voltage and the regulated
output voltage for which the regulator will regulate.
Line Regulation: The change in output voltage for a change in
the input voltage. The line regulation is measured under conditions
of low dissipation or by using low duty cycle pulse testing such
that the average chip temperature is not significantly affected.
Load Regulation: The change in output voltage for a change in
load current at constant chip temperature.
Long term stability: Output voltage stability under accelerated
life-test conditions after 1000 hours with maximum rated voltage
and junction temperature.
Output Noise Voltage: The rms AC voltage at the output, with
constant load and no input ripple, measured over a specified
frequency range.
Quiescent Current: That part of the positive input current that
does not contribute to the positive load current. The regulator
ground lead current.
Ripple Rejection: The ratio of the peak-to –peak input ripple
voltage to the peak-to-peak output ripple voltage at specified
frequency.

temperature extreme.
External capacitor

AMS500
Most type of tantalum or electrolytic capacitor can be used in the
app
lications. A critical characteristic of the capacitors is an ESR
value of 5Ω or less and a resonant frequency above 500kHz. The
value of this capacitor can be increased without limits.
For higher loads, the value of the capacitor should be increased,
specialy when the output voltage is set for 2.5V or less. The
AMS500 lowest fixed output voltage value is 2.0V

Minimum Load
In circuits using the fixed output voltage versions, minimum load
is not required. For circuits using the adjustable device, the value
of R1 and R2 should be chosen such, that a current of
approximately 40µA flows through the network. The reference
voltage (1.235V) is measured between the adjust pin and V
The output voltage can be set by the two resistors R1 and R2
using the following equation:

R1
The value of R1 is recommended to be between 25kΩ to 30 kΩ,
and the value of R2 will set the output voltage.
