ADP3310
FUNCTIONAL BLOCK DIAGRAM
GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The ADP3310 is a precision voltage regulator controller that
can be used with an external Power PMOS device such as the
NDP6020P to form a two chip low dropout linear regulator.
The low quiescent current (800 µA) and the Enable feature
make this device especially suitable for battery powered systems.
The dropout voltage at 1 A is only 70 mV when used with the
NDP6020P, allowing operation with minimal headroom and
prolonging battery useful life. The ADP3310 can drive a wide
range of currents, depending on the external PMOS device used.
Additional features of this device include: high accuracy (±1.5%)
over line, load and temperature, gate-to-source voltage clamp to
protect the external MOSFET and foldback current limit. A
current limit threshold voltage of 50 mV (typ) allows 50 mΩ of
board metal trace resistance to provide a 1 A current limit.
The ADP3310 operates from a wide input voltage range from
2.5 V to 15 V and is available in a small SO-8 package.

Information furnished by Analog Devices is believed to be accurate and

*This is a stress rating only; operation beyond these limits can cause the device to
be permanently damaged.
CAUTION
ESD (electrostatic discharge) sensitive device. Electrostatic charges as high as 4000 V readily
accumulate on the human body and test equipment and can discharge without detection. Although
the ADP3310 features proprietary ESD protection circuitry, permanent damage may occur on
devices subjected to high energy electrostatic discharges. Therefore, proper ESD precautions are
recommended to avoid performance degradation or loss of functionality.

PIN FUNCTION DESCRIPTIONS
Pin
SO-8NameFunction
1ISCurrent Sense. Connected to the more
negative terminal of the sense resistor as
well as the Power MOSFET’s source pin.
IS must be tied to V
pin if the current
IN
limit feature is not used.
2, 6NCNo Connect.
3GATEGate Drive for the external MOSFET.
4V
IN
Input Voltage. This is also the positive
terminal connection of the current sense
resistor.
5V
OUT
Output Voltage Sense. This pin is
connected to the MOSFET’s drain and
directly to the load for optimal load regula-
tion. Bypass to ground with a 10 µF or
larger capacitor.
7GNDDevice Ground. This pin should be tied to
system ground closest to the load.
8ENEnable. Pulling this pin to a logic High or
tying the pin to the input voltage will enable
the output. Pulling this pin low will disable
the regulator output.
