GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The ADP3339 is a member of the ADP33xx family of precision,
low dropout, anyCAP voltage regulators. The ADP3339 operates
with an input voltage range of 2.8 V to 6 V and delivers a load
current up to 1.5 A. The ADP3339 stands out from the
conventional LDOs with a novel architecture and an enhanced
process that enables it to offer performance advantages and
higher output current than its competition. Its patented design
requires only a 1.0 µF output capacitor for stability. This device
is insensitive to output capacitor equivalent series resistance
(ESR), and is stable with any good quality capacitor, including
ceramic (MLCC) types for space-restricted applications. The
ADP3339 achieves exceptional accuracy of ±0.9% at room
temperature and ±1.5% over temperature, line, and load
variations. The dropout voltage of the ADP3339 is only 230 mV
(typical) at 1.5 A. The device also includes a safety current limit
and thermal overload protection. The ADP3339 has ultralow
quiescent current: 130 µA (typical) in light load situations.

THEORY OF OPERATION
The ADP3339 anyCAP LDO uses a single control loop for
regulation and reference functions. The output voltage is sensed
by a resistive voltage divider, consisting of R1 and R2, which is
varied to provide the available output voltage option. Feedback
is taken from this network by way of a series diode (D1) and a
second resistor divider (R3 and R4) to the input of an amplifier.
A very high gain error amplifier is used to control this loop. The
amplifier is constructed in such a way that equilibrium
produces a large, temperature-proportional input offset voltage
that is repeatable and very well controlled. The temperatureproportional offset voltage is combined with the complementary diode voltage to form a virtual band gap voltage that is
implicit in the network, although it never appears explicitly in
the circuit. Ultimately, this patented design makes it possible to
control the loop with only one amplifier. This technique also
improves the noise characteristics of the amplifier by providing
more flexibility on the trade-off of noise sources that leads to a
low noise design.
The R1, R2 divider is chosen in the same ratio as the band gap
voltage to the output voltage. Although the R1, R2 resistor
divider is loaded by diode D1 and a second divider consisting of
R3 and R4, the values can be chosen to produce a temperaturestable output. This unique arrangement specifically corrects for
the loading of the divider, thus avoiding the error resulting from
base current loading in conventional circuits.
Most LDOs place very strict requirements on the range of ESR
values for the output capacitor because they are difficult to
stabilize due to the uncertainty of load capacitance and resistance. Moreover, the ESR value required to keep conventional
LDOs stable changes depending on load and temperature.
These ESR limitations make designing with LDOs more
difficult because of their unclear specifications and extreme
variations over temperature.
With the ADP3339 anyCAP LDO, this is no longer true. It can
be used with virtually any good quality capacitor, with no
constraint on the minimum ESR. This innovative design allows
the circuit to be stable with just a small 1 µF capacitor on the
output. Additional advantages of the pole-splitting scheme
include superior line noise rejection and very high regulator
gain, which lead to excellent line and load regulation. An
impressive ±1.5 accuracy is guaranteed over line, load, and
temperature.
Additional features of the circuit include current limit and
thermal shutdown.

The patented amplifier controls a new and unique noninverting

APPLICATION INFORMATION
CAPACITOR SELECTION
Output Capacitor
The stability and transient response of the LDO is a function of
the output capacitor. The ADP3339 is stable with a wide range
of capacitor values, types, and ESR (anyCAP). A capacitor as low
as 1 µF is all that is needed for stability. A higher capacitance
may be necessary if high output current surges are anticipated,
or if the output capacitor cannot be located near the output and
ground pins. The ADP3339 is stable with extremely low ESR
capacitors (ESR ≈ 0) such as multilayer ceramic capacitors
(MLCC) or OSCON. Note that the effective capacitance of some
capacitor types falls below the minimum over temperature or
with dc voltage.
Input Capacitor
An input bypass capacitor is not strictly required but is recommended in any application involving long input wires or high
source impedance. Connecting a 1 µF capacitor from the input
to ground reduces the circuit’s sensitivity to PC board layout
and input transients. If a larger output capacitor is necessary, a
larger value input capacitor is also recommended.
OUTPUT CURRENT LIMIT
The ADP3339 is short-circuit protected by limiting the pass
transistor’s base drive current. The maximum output current is
limited to about 3 A. See Figure 16.
THERMAL OVERLOAD PROTECTION
The ADP3339 is protected against damage due to excessive
power dissipation by its thermal overload protection circuit.
Thermal protection limits the die temperature to a maximum of
160°C. Under extreme conditions (i.e., high ambient temperature and power dissipation) where the die temperature starts to
rise above 160°C, the output current is reduced until the die
temperature has dropped to a safe level.
Current and thermal limit protections are intended to protect
the device against accidental overload conditions. For normal
operation, the device’s power dissipation should be externally
limited so the junction temperature does not exceed 150°C.
CALCULATING POWER DISSIPATION
Device power dissipation is calculated as follows:

CONSIDERATIONS
The SOT-223’s thermal resistance, θJA, is determined by the sum
of the junction-to-case and the case-to-ambient thermal
resistances. The junction-to-case thermal resistance, θ
determined by the package design and specified at 26.8°C/W.
However, the case-to-ambient thermal resistance is determined
by the printed circuit board design.
As shown in Figure 22, the amount of copper to which the
ADP3339 is mounted affects thermal performance. When
mounted to the minimal pads of 2 oz. copper (Figure 22a), θ
126.6°C/W. Adding a small copper pad under the ADP3339
(Figure 22b) reduces the θ
to 102.9°C/W. Increasing the
JA
copper pad to 1 square inch (Figure 22c) reduces the θ
further, to 52.8°C/W.

Use the following general guidelines when designing printed
circuit boards:
1. Keep the output capacitor as close to the output and
ground pins as possible.
2. Keep the input capacitor as close to the input and ground
pins as possible.
3. PC board traces with larger cross sectional areas remove
more heat from the ADP3339. For optimum heat transfer,
specify thick copper and use wide traces.
4. The thermal resistance can be decreased by adding a
copper pad under the ADP3339, as shown in Figure 22b.
5. If possible, utilize the adjacent area to add more copper
around the ADP3339. Connecting the copper area to the
output of the ADP3339, as shown in Figure 22c, is best, but
thermal performance will be improved even if it is
connected to other pins.
6. Use additional copper layers or planes to reduce the
thermal resistance. Again, connecting the other layers to
the output of the ADP3339 is best, but is not necessary.
When connecting the output pad to other layers, use
multiple vias.
