GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The ADP1706/ADP1707/ADP1708 are CMOS, low dropout
linear regulators that operate from 2.5 V to 5.5 V and provide
up to 1 A of output current. Using an advanced proprietary
architecture, they provide high power supply rejection and
achieve excellent line and load transient response with a small
4.7 μF ceramic output capacitor.
The ADP1706/ADP1707 are available in 16 fixed output voltage options. The ADP1708 is available in an adjustable version,
which allows output voltages that range from 0.8 V to 5.0 V via
an external divider. The ADP1706 allows an external soft start
capacitor to be connected to program the start-up time; the

THEORY OF OPERATION
The ADP1706/ADP1707/ADP1708 are low dropout linear
regulators that use an advanced, proprietary architecture to
provide high power supply rejection ratio (PSRR) and excellent
line and load transient response with a small 4.7 μF ceramic
output capacitor. All devices operate from a 2.5 V to 5.5 V input
rail and provide up to 1 A of output current. Supply current in
shutdown mode is typically 100 nA.

Figure 27. Internal Block Diagram
Internally, the ADP1706/ADP1707/ADP1708 consist of a
reference, an error amplifier, a feedback voltage divider, and a
PMOS pass transistor. Output current is delivered via the
PMOS pass device, which is controlled by the error amplifier.
The error amplifier compares the reference voltage with the
feedback voltage from the output and amplifies the difference. If
the feedback voltage is lower than the reference voltage, the gate
of the PMOS device is pulled lower, allowing more current
to pass and increasing the output voltage. If the feedback
voltage is higher than the reference voltage, the gate of the
PMOS device is pulled higher, allowing less current to pass
and decreasing the output voltage.
The ADP1706/ADP1707 are available in 16 fixed output voltage
options between 0.75 V and 3.3 V. The ADP1706 allows for
connection of an external soft start capacitor, which controls
the output voltage ramp during startup. The ADP1707 features
a TRK pin that allows the output voltage to follow the voltage at
this pin. The ADP1708 is available in an adjustable version with
an output voltage that can be set to between 0.8 V and 5.0 V by
an external voltage divider. All devices are controlled by an
enable pin (EN).
SOFT START FUNCTION (ADP1706)
For applications that require a controlled startup, the ADP1706
provides a programmable soft start function. The programmable soft start is useful for reducing inrush current upon startup
and for providing voltage sequencing. To implement a soft start,
connect a small ceramic capacitor from SS to GND. Upon
startup, a 1.2 μA current source charges this capacitor. The
ADP1706 start-up output voltage is limited by the voltage at SS,

Figure 28. OUT Ramp-Up with External Soft Start Capacitor
The ADP1707 and ADP1708 have no pins for soft start;
therefore, the function is switched to an internal soft start
capacitor, which sets the soft start ramp-up period to approximately 48 μs. Note that the ramp-up period is the time it takes
OUT to go from 0% to 90% of the nominal value and is
different from the start-up time in
Tabl e 1 , which is the time
between the rising edge of EN to OUT being at 90% of the
nominal value. For the worst-case output voltage of 5 V, using
the suggested 4.7 μF output capacitor, the resulting input
inrush current is approximately 490 mA, which is less than
the maximum 1 A load current.

ADJUSTABLE OUTPUT VOLTAGE (ADP1708)
The ADP1708 can have its output voltage set over a 0.8 V to
5.0 V range. The output voltage is set by connecting a resistive
voltage divider from OUT to ADJ. The output voltage is
calculated by
= 0.8 V (1 + R1/R2) (2)
V
OUT
where:
R1 is the resistor from OUT to ADJ.
R2 is the resistor from ADJ to GND.
The maximum bias current into ADJ is 100 nA, so for less
than 0.5% error due to the bias current, use values less than
60 kΩ for R2.
TRACK MODE (ADP1707)
The ADP1707 includes a tracking mode feature. As shown in
Figure 30, if the voltage applied at the TRK pin is less than the
nominal output voltage, OUT is equal to the voltage at TRK.
Otherwise, OUT regulates to its nominal output value.

Figure 30. ADP1707 Output Voltage vs. Tracking Voltage
For example, consider an ADP1707 with a nominal output
voltage of 3.3 V. If the voltage applied to its TRK pin is greater
than 3.3 V, OUT maintains a nominal output voltage of 3.3 V.
If the voltage applied to TRK is reduced below 3.3 V, OUT
tracks this voltage. OUT can track the TRK pin voltage from
the nominal value all the way down to 0 V. A voltage divider is
present from TRK to the error amplifier input with a divider
ratio equal to the divider from OUT to the error amplifier,
which sets the output voltage equal to the tracking voltage.
Both divider ratios are set by postpackage trim, depending on
the desired output voltage.

APPLICATION INFORMATION
CAPACITOR SELECTION
Output Capacitor
The ADP1706/ADP1707/ADP1708 are designed for operation
with small, space-saving ceramic capacitors, but they function
with most commonly used capacitors as long as care is taken with
the effective series resistance (ESR) value. The ESR of the output
capacitor affects stability of the LDO control loop. A minimum of
4.7 μF capacitance with an ESR of 500 mΩ or less is recommended
to ensure stability of the ADP1706/ADP1707/ADP1708. Transient
response to changes in load current is also affected by output
capacitance. Using a larger value of output capacitance improves
the transient response of the ADP1706/ADP1707/ADP1708 to
large changes in load current.

Input Bypass Capacitor
Connecting a 4.7 μF capacitor from the IN pin to GND reduces
the circuit sensitivity to the printed circuit board (PCB) layout,
especially when long input traces, or high source impedance,
is encountered. If greater than 4.7 μF of output capacitance is
required, it is recommended that the input capacitor be increased
to match it.
Input and Output Capacitor Properties
Any good quality ceramic capacitors can be used with the
ADP1706/ADP1707/ADP1708, as long as they meet the
minimum capacitance and maximum ESR requirements.
Ceramic capacitors are manufactured with a variety of dielectrics, each with different behavior over temperature and applied
voltage. Capacitors must have a dielectric adequate to ensure
the minimum capacitance over the necessary temperature range
and dc bias conditions. X5R or X7R dielectrics with a voltage
rating of 6.3 V or 10 V are recommended. Y5V and Z5U
dielectrics are not recommended, due to their poor temperature
and dc bias characteristics.

Figure 35. Voltage Tracking Feature Using ADP1707
Figure 35 shows an application where the ADP1707 tracking
feature is used. An ADP1706 powers the I/O of a microprocessor and an ADP1707 powers the core. At startup, the output of
the ADP1706 ramps to 2.5 V, which is divided down via a
voltage divider (R1 and R2) to a lower voltage at the TRK pin of
the ADP1707. The output of the ADP1707 thus follows the
TRK pin and ramps up steadily to 1.2 V. This implementation
ensures that the core of the processor powers up after the I/O.
CURRENT LIMIT AND THERMAL OVERLOAD
PROTECTION
The ADP1706/ADP1707/ADP1708 are protected against
damage due to excessive power dissipation by current and
thermal overload protection circuits. The ADP1706/ADP1707/
ADP1708 are designed to reach current limit when the output
load reaches 1.5 A (typical). When the output load exceeds
1.5 A, the output voltage is reduced to maintain a constant
current limit.
Rev. 0 | Page 12 of 20
ADP1706/ADP1707/ADP1708
Thermal overload protection is included, which limits the
junction temperature to a maximum of 150°C (typical). Under
extreme conditions (that is, high ambient temperature and
power dissipation) when the junction temperature starts to
rise above 150°C, the output is turned off, reducing the output
current to zero. When the junction temperature drops below
135°C (typical), the output is turned on again and output
current is restored to its nominal value.
Consider the case where a hard short from OUT to ground
occurs. At first, the ADP1706/ADP1707/ADP1708 reach
current limit so that only 1.5 A is conducted into the short. If
self-heating of the junction becomes great enough to cause its
temperature to rise above 150°C, thermal shutdown activates,
turning off the output and reducing the output current to
zero. As the junction temperature cools and drops below
135°C, the output turns on and conducts 1.5 A into the short,
again causing the junction temperature to rise above 150°C.
This thermal oscillation between 135°C and 150°C causes a
current oscillation between 1.5 A and 0 A that continues as
long as the short remains at the output.
Current and thermal limit protections are intended to protect
the device against accidental overload conditions. For reliable
operation, device power dissipation should be externally limited
so junction temperatures do not exceed 125°C.
THERMAL CONSIDERATIONS
To guarantee reliable operation, the junction temperature of
the ADP1706/ADP1707/ADP1708 must not exceed 125°C. To
ensure that the junction temperature stays below this maximum
value, the user needs to be aware of the parameters that contribute to junction temperature changes. These parameters include
ambient temperature, power dissipation in the power device,

ADP1706/ADP1707/ADP1708
PCB LAYOUT CONSIDERATIONS
Heat dissipation from the package can be improved by
increasing the amount of copper attached to the pins of the
ADP1706/ADP1707/ADP1708. However, as can be seen from
Tabl e 5 , a point of diminishing returns is eventually reached,
beyond which an increase in the copper size does not yield
significant heat dissipation benefits.
The ADP1706/ADP1707/ADP1708 feature an exposed pad on
the bottom of both the SOIC and LFCSP packages to improve
thermal performance. Because the exposed pad is electrically
connected to GND inside the package, it is recommended that
it also be connected to the ground plane on the PCB with a
sufficient amount of copper.
Here are a few general tips when designing PCBs:
•Place the input capacitor as close as possible to the IN and
GND pins.
•Place the output capacitor as close as possible to the OUT
and GND pins.
•For the ADP1706, place the soft start capacitor as close as
possible to the SS pin.
•Connect the load as close as possible to the OUT and
SENSE pins.
Use of 0402 or 0603 size capacitors and resistors achieves the
smallest possible footprint solution on boards where area is
limited.
