The APL5605 is a low quiescent current and low dropout
linear regulator whic h is designed to power a DC fan
and delivers up to 600mA output current. The output
voltage follows the 1.6 times of VSET voltage and typical dropout voltage is only 220mV (typical) at 600mA
output current. The APL5605 with low 140µA quiescent
current is ideal for battery-powered sys tem appliances
and stable with a 2.2µF ceramic output c apacitor. The
features of current limit (with foldback current) and overtemperature protection protect the device against current over-loads and over temperature. The APL5605 is
available in a SOP-8 package.

Pin Descriptions
Pin
No. Name
1 EN
2 VIN
3 VOUT
Enable Control Input. Driving the EN high turns on the regulator. Pulling the EN low turns the
regulator into shutdown mode. The EN is pulled low by an internal resistor.
Supply Voltage Input Pin. Supply voltage can range from 4.5V to 6V. Bypass with a 1µF (typical)
capacitor to GND
Regulator Output. Sources up to 600mA. A small capacitor is needed from this pin to ground to
assure stability.
4 VSET Output Voltage-Set Input. The output voltage follows the 1.6 times of the VSET voltage.
5,6,7,8 GND
Ground. These pins are internally connected with the internal leadframe. Connect these pins to a
wide ground plane for good heat dissipation.
The APL5605 has a built-in under-voltage lock-out circuit
to keep the output off until the internal circuitry is operating properly. The UVLO function initiates a soft start process after input voltage exceeds its rising UVLO threshold during power on. Typical UVLO threshold is 2.5V
with 0.15V hysteresis.
Soft-Start
The APL5605 provides an internal soft-start circuitry to
control rise rate of the output voltage and limit the current surge during start-up. Approximate 20µs delay time
after the VIN is over the UVLO threshold, the IC starts a
soft-start. The typical soft-start interval is about 130µs.
Enable/Shutdown
Driving the EN high turns on the regulator, driving the EN
low puts the regulator into shutdown mode. A logic low
also causes the output voltage to discharge to GND. The
EN is pulled low by an internal resistor.
Current Limit
The APL5605 provides a current limit circuitry, which
monitors the output current and controls P-MOS’s gate
voltage to limit the output current at 700mA.
Thermal Shutdown
A thermal shutdown circuit limits the junction temperature
of APL5605. When the junction temperature exceeds
+150οC, the thermal shutdown circuitry disables the
output, allowing the device to cool down. The output
circuitry is enabled again after the junction temperature cools down by 40οC, resulting in a pulsed output
during continuous thermal overload conditions.
Foldback Current Limit
When the output voltage drops below 0.6V (typical),which
is caused by over load or short circuit, the foldback current limit circuitry limits the output current to 250mA. The
foldback current limit is used to ruduce the power dissipation during short circuit condition. The foldback current
limits is disabled for 0.8ms(typical) after UVLO threshold
is reached, so that the IC has normal 700mA (typical)
current limit level during start-up.
The APL5605 requires proper input capacitors to supply
surge current during stepping load transients to prevent
the input rail from dropping. Because the parasitic inductor from the voltage sources or other bulk capacitors to
the VIN limits the slew rate of the surge current, place the
Input capacitors near VIN as close as possible. Input
capacitors should be larger than 0.82µF.
Output Capacitor
The APL5605 needs a proper output capacitor to maintain circuit stability and to improve transient response
over temperature and current. In order to insure the circuit stability, the proper output capacitor value should be
larger than 1µF. With X5R and X7R dielectrics, 2.2µF is
sufficient at all operating temperatures. Maximum output
capacitor should be less than 330µF to insure the system can be powered on effectively.
Operation Region and Power Dissipation
The APL5605 maximum power dissipation depends on
the thermal resistance and temperature difference between the die junction and ambient air. The power dissipation PD across the device is:
AJ
)TT(
−
D
P
=
JA
θ
where (TJ-TA) is the temperature difference between the
junction and ambient air. θJA is the thermal resistance
between Junction and ambient air. Assuming the TA=25οC
and maximum TJ=150οC (typical thermal limit threshold),
the maximum power dis sipation is calculated as:
P
=(150-25)/80
D(max)
= 1.56(W)
For normal operation, do not exceed the maximum junction temperature rating of TJ = 125οC. The calculated
power dis sipation should less than:
PD =(125-25)/80
= 1.25(W)
The GND provides an electrical connection to ground and
channels heat away. Connect the GND to ground by us ing a large pad or ground plane.
PCB Layout Considerations
Figure 1 illustrates the layout. Below is a checklist for
your layout:
1. Please place the input capacitors close to the VIN
2. Ceramic capacitors for load must be placed near the
load as close as poss ible
3. To place APL5605 and output capacitors near the load
is good for performance.
4. Large current paths, the bold lines in figure 1, must
have wide tracks.
