General Description
The APL5156 is a low ground current linear regulator,
which operates with input voltage from 6.5V to 25V and
delivers output current up to 150mA. Typical dropout voltage is only 1.9V at 150mA loading. This combination of
the high voltage and the low ground current makes the
APL5156 ideal for USB and portable devices, using 2cell or 3-cell Li-Ion battery inputs.
The APL5156 is stable with aluminum, tantalum, and
ceramic capacitors. It requires a 2.2µF or greater capacitor for stability.
The APL5156 has many protection functions, including
over-temperature, current-limit, reverse battery, and
reverse leakage protections which prevent the device from
thermal over-load, current over-load, reverse connection
of the battery and output current reversing to the VIN.
The APL5156 regulator is available in miniature SOT-235, SOT-89, and SOP-8P packages.

The APL5156 features an active-high enable pin that allows the regulator to be disabled. Forcing the enable pin
low disables the regulator, so current consumed by the
regulator goes nearly to zero. Forcing the enable pin high
enables the output voltage. The enable pin can not float.
Input Capacitor
The APL5156 has high input voltage up to 25V. The input
capacitor must be rated to sustain voltages that may be
used on the input. An input capacitor may be required
when the device is not near the source power supply or
when supplied by a battery. Small and surface-mounted
ceramic capacitors can be used for bypassing. A larger
value may be required if the source supply has high ripple.

where TJ-TA is the temperature difference between the

For continual operation, do not exceed the absolute maximum junction temperature rating of TJ=125oC.
For example:
In SOT-23-5 package θJA=235oC/W. When operates the
APL5156 at TA=50oC, the maximum power dissipation
can be determined as below:

Output Capacitor
The APL5156 requires an output capacitor for stability.
The design requires 2.2µF or greater on the output to
maintain stability. It is optimized by using low-ESR ceramic chip capacitors. The maximum allowable ESR is
3Ω. More capacitance improves transient response. Place
the output capacitor as close to the VOUT pin as possible.
X7R/X5R dielectric-type ceramic capacitors are recommended because of their temperature performance. X7R
type capacitors change capacitance by 15% over their
operating temperature ranges. To use a ceramic chip
capacitor with Y5V dielectric, the value must be much
higher than an X7R ceramic capacitor to ensure the same
minimum capacitance over the equivalent operating temperature range.
No-Load Stability
The APL5156 will remain stable and in regulation with no
load unlike many other voltage regulators. This is especially important in CMOS RAM keep-alive applications.
Thermal Consideration
Thermal Pad Consideration
The SOP-8P is a cost-effective package which features a
small size, like a standard SOP-8, and a bottom thermal
pad to minimize the thermal resistance of the package is
applicable to high current applications. The thermal pad
must be soldered down to the copper plane on circuit
board. Heat can be conducted away from the thermal
pad through the copper plane to ambient. If the copper
plane is not on the top surface of the circuit board, 4 or 6
vias should be used to thermally couple the thermal pad
to the bottom plane.
For good thermal conduction, the vias must be plated
through and solder filled. The copper plane used to conduct heat away from the thermal pad should be as large
as practical.

The thermal resistance of junction to ambient controls
the APL5156's maximum power dissipation. The power
dissipation across the device is PD=I
The output voltage of APL5156 can be adjusted from 3V
to 20V by using two external resistors. The resistors set
the output voltage based on the following equation:

Feedback resistor R2 should be larger than 100kΩ and
smaller than 1MΩ. The resistors should be placed as
close the device as possible to avoid noise.
