On-chip thermal shutdown provides protection against
any combination of overload that would create excessive junction temperature. The output voltage of
APL5331 track the voltage at VREF pin. A resistor
divider connected to VIN, GND and VREF pins is
used to provide a half voltage of VIN to VREF pin. In
addition, an external ceramic capacitor and an opendrain transistor connected to VREF pin provides softstart and shutdown control respectively. Pulling and
holding the VREF to GND shuts off the output. The
output of APL5331 will be high impedance after being shut down by VREF or thermal shutdown function.

The APL5331 linear regulator is designed to provide
a regulated voltage with bi-directional output current
SOP-8-P (Top View)
TO-263-5 (TopView)
for DDR-SDRAM termination. The APL5331 integrates
two power transistors to source or sink current up to
3A. It also incorporate current-limit, thermal shutdown and shutdown control functions into a single

chip. Current-limit circuit limits the short-circuit
current.

Pin Description
PIN NAME I/O DESCRIPTION
Main power input pin. Connect this pin to a voltage source and an input
VIN I
capacitor. The APL5331 sources current to VOUT pin by controlling the upper
NPN pass transistor, providing a current path from VIN pin.
Power and signal ground. Connect this pin to s ystem ground plane with shortest
GND O
traces. The APL5331 sink s current from VOUT pin by controlling the lower NPN
pass transistor, pro viding a current path to GND pin. This pin is also the ground
path fo r inte rn a l co n tr o l c ircu itr y.
Power input pin for internal control circuitry. Connect this pin to a voltage source,
VCNTL I
providing a bias for the internal control circuitry. A bypass capacitor is usually
connected near this pin.
Reference voltage input and active-low shutdown control pin. Apply a voltage to
this pin as a reference voltage for the APL5331. Connect this pin to a resistor
VREF I
divider, between VIN and GND, and a capacitor for soft-start and filtering noise
purposes. Applying and holding this pin low b y an o pen-drain transistor to shut
down th e o u tp u t.
Output pin of the regulator. Connect this pin to load. Output capacitors
VOUT O
connected this pin improves stability and transient response. The output voltage
tracks the reference voltage and is capable of sourcing or sinking current up to
3A.
