GENERAL DESCRIPTION

The ADP124/ADP125 are low quiescent current, low dropout linear regulators. They are designed to operate from an input voltage between 2.3 V and 5.5 V and to provide up to 500 mA of output current. The low 130 mV dropout voltage at a 500 mA load improves efficiency and allows operation over a wide input voltage range.
The low 210 μA of quiescent current with a 500 mA load makes the ADP124/ADP125 ideal for battery-operated portable equipment.
The ADP124 is capable of 31 fixed-output voltages from 1.75 V to 3.3 V. The ADP125 is the adjustable version of the device and allows the output voltage to be set between 0.8 V and 5.0 V by an external voltage divider.
responsibility is assumed by Analog Devices for its use, nor for any infringements of patents or othe r rights of third parties that may result from its use. Specifications subject to change without notice. No license is granted by implication or otherwise under any patent or patent rights of Analog Devices.
The ADP124/ADP125 are specifically designed for stable operation with tiny 1 µF ceramic input and output capacitors to meet the requirements of high performance, space constrained applications.
The ADP124/ADP125 have an internal soft start that gives a constant start-up time of 350 µs. Short-circuit protection and thermal overload protection circuits prevent damage in adverse conditions. The ADP124/ADP125 are available in 8-lead exposed paddle MSOP and LFCSP packages. When compared with the standard MSOP and LFCSP packages, the exposed paddle MSOP and LFCSP packages have lower thermal resistance (θ
). The lower thermal resistance package allows the ADP124/
JA
ADP125 to meet the needs of a variety of portable applications while minimizing the rise in junction temperature.

The current from the external resistor divider network in the case of adjustable voltage output (as with the ADP125) should be subtracted from the ground current measured.
2
Accuracy when VOUT is connected directly to ADJ. When VOUT voltage is set by external feedback resistors, absolute accuracy in adjust mode depends on the tolerances of
the resistors used.
3
Based on an endpoint calculation using 1 mA and 500 mA loads.
4
Dropout voltage is defined as the input-to-output voltage differential when the input voltage is set to the nominal output voltage. This applies only for output voltages
greater than 2.3 V.
5
Start-up time is defined as the time between the rising edge of EN to VOUT being at 90% of its nominal value.
6
Current limit threshold is defined as the current at which the output voltage drops to 90% of the specified typical value. For example, the current limit for a 3.3 V
output voltage is defined as the current that causes the output voltage to drop to 90% of 3.3 V, or 2.97 V.

Stresses above those listed under Absolute Maximum Ratings may cause permanent damage to the device. This is a stress rating only; functional operation of the device at these or any other conditions above those indicated in the operational section of this specification is not implied. Exposure to absolute maximum rating conditions for extended periods may affect device reliability.

THERMAL DATA

Absolute maximum ratings apply individually only, not in combination. The ADP124/ADP125 can be damaged when the junction temperature limits are exceeded. Monitoring ambient temperature does not guarantee that T specified temperature limits. In applications with high power dissipation and poor thermal resistance, the maximum ambient temperature may have to be limited.
In applications with moderate power dissipation and low PCB thermal resistance, the maximum ambient temperature can exceed the maximum limit as long as the junction temperature is within specification limits. The junction temperature (T the device is dependent on the ambient temperature (T power dissipation of the device (P thermal resistance of the package (θ

THEORY OF OPERATION

The ADP124/ADP125 are low quiescent current, low dropout linear regulators that operate from 2.3 V to 5.5 V and can provide up to 500 mA of output current. Drawing a low 210 µA of quies­cent current (typical) at full load makes the ADP124/ADP125 ideal for battery-operated portable equipment. Shutdown current consumption is typically 100 nA.
Optimized for use with small 1 µF ceramic capacitors, the ADP124/ADP125 provide excellent transient performance.
Internally, the ADP124/ADP125 consist of a reference, an error amplifier, a feedback voltage divider, and a PMOS pass transistor. Output current is delivered via the PMOS pass device, which is controlled by the error amplifier. The error amplifier compares the reference voltage with the feedback voltage from the output and amplifies the difference. If the feedback voltage is lower than the reference voltage, the gate of the PMOS device is pulled lower, allowing more current to pass and increasing the output voltage. If the feedback voltage is higher than the reference voltage, the gate of the PMOS device is pulled higher, allowing less current to pass and decreasing the output voltage.
The adjustable ADP125 has an output voltage range of 0.8 V to
5.0 V. The output voltage is set by the ratio of two external resistors, as shown in Figure 2. The device servos the output to maintain the voltage at the ADJ pin at 0.5 V referenced to ground. The current in R1 is then equal to 0.5 V/R2 and the current in R1 is the current in R2 plus the ADJ pin bias current. The ADJ pin bias current, 15 nA at 25°C, flows through R1 into the ADJ pin.
The output voltage can be calculated using the equation:
V
= 0.5 V(1 + R1/R2) + (ADJ
OUT
I-BIAS
)(R1)
The value of R1 should be less than 200 kΩ to minimize errors in the output voltage caused by the ADJ pin bias current. For example, when R1 and R2 each equal 200 kΩ, the output voltage is 1.0 V. The output voltage error introduced by the ADJ pin bias current is 3 mV or 0.3%, assuming a typical ADJ pin bias current of 15 nA at 25°C.
Note that in shutdown, the output is turned off and the divider current is 0.
The ADP124/ADP125 use the EN pin to enable and disable the VOUT pin under normal operating conditions. When EN is high, VOUT turns on; when EN is low, VOUT turns off. For automatic startup, EN can be tied to VIN.

APPLICATIONS INFORMATION

CAPACITOR SELECTION

Output Capacitor

The ADP124/ADP125 are designed for operation with small, space-saving ceramic capacitors, but these devices can function with most commonly used capacitors as long as care is taken to ensure an appropriate effective series resistance (ESR) value. The ESR of the output capacitor affects the stability of the LDO control loop. A minimum of 0.70 µF capacitance with an ESR of 1 Ω or less is recommended to ensure stability of the ADP124/ADP125. The transient response to changes in load current is also affected by the output capacitance. Using a larger value of output capacitance improves the transient response of the ADP124/ADP125 to dynamic changes in load current. Figure 30 and Figure 31 show the transient responses for output capacitance values of 1 µF and
4.7 µF, respectively.

Input Bypass Capacitor

Connecting a 1 µF capacitor from VIN to GND reduces the circuit sensitivity to the printed circuit board (PCB) layout, especially when a long input trace or high source impedance is encountered. If greater than 1 µF of output capacitance is required, the input capacitor should be increased to match it.

Input and Output Capacitor Properties

Any good quality ceramic capacitors can be used with the ADP124/ADP125, as long as the capacitor meets the minimum capacitance and maximum ESR requirements. Ceramic capacitors are manufactured with a variety of dielectrics, each with different behavior over temperature and applied voltage. Capacitors must have an adequate dielectric to ensure the minimum capacitance over the necessary temperature range and dc bias conditions. Using an X5R or X7R dielectric with a voltage rating of 6.3 V or 10 V is recommended. However, using Y5V and Z5U dielectrics are not recommended for any LDO, due to their poor temperature and dc bias characteristics.
Figure 32 depicts the capacitance vs. capacitor voltage bias charac­teristics of an 0402, 1 µF, 1 0 V X5R capacitor. The voltage stability of a capacitor is strongly influenced by the capacitor size and the voltage rating. In general, a capacitor in a larger package or of a higher voltage rating exhibits better stability. The temperature variation of the X5R dielectric is about ±15% over the −40°C to +85°C temperature range and is not a function of package or voltage rating.

In this example, the worst-case temperature coefficient (TEMPCO) over −40°C to +85°C is assumed to be 15% for an X5R dielectric. The tolerance of the capacitor (TOL) is assumed to be 10%, and C is 0.94 μF at 4.2 V from the graph in Figure 32.
Substituting these values in Equation 1 yields
C
= 0.94 μF × (1 − 0.15) × (1 − 0.1) = 0.719 μF
EFF
Therefore, the capacitor chosen in this example meets the minimum capacitance requirement of the LDO over tem­perature and tolerance at the chosen output voltage.
To guarantee the performance of the ADP124/ADP125, it is imperative that the effects of dc bias, temperature, and tolerances on the behavior of the capacitors are evaluated for each application.

UNDERVOLTAGE LOCKOUT

The ADP124/ADP125 have an internal undervoltage lockout circuit that disables all inputs and the output when the input voltage is less than approximately 2 V. This ensures that the ADP124/ADP125 inputs and the output behave in a predictable manner during power-up.

ENABLE FEATURE

The ADP124/ADP125 uses the EN pin to enable and disable the VOUT pin under normal operating conditions. As shown in Figure 33, when a rising voltage on EN crosses the active threshold, VOUT turns on. Conversely, when a falling voltage on EN crosses the inactive threshold, VOUT turns off.
The active and inactive thresholds of the EN pin are derived from the VIN voltage. Therefore, these thresholds vary as the input voltage changes. Figure 34 shows typical EN active and inactive thresholds when the VIN voltage varies from 2.3 V to 5.5 V.
Figure 34. Typical EN Pin Thresholds vs. Input Voltage
The ADP124/ADP125 use an internal soft start to limit the inrush current when the output is enabled. The start-up time for the 2.8 V option is approximately 350 µs from the time the EN active threshold is crossed to when the output reaches 90% of its final value. As shown in Figure 35, the start-up time is dependent on the output voltage setting and increases slightly as the output voltage increases.
Figure 33. Typical EN Pin Operation
As shown in Figure 33, the EN pin has built-in hysteresis. This prevents on/off oscillations that may occur due to noise on the EN pin as it passes through the threshold points.

CURRENT LIMIT AND THERMAL OVERLOAD PROTECTION

The ADP124/ADP125 are protected from damage due to excessive power dissipation by current and thermal overload protection circuits. The ADP124/ADP125 are designed to limit the current when the output load reaches 750 mA (typical). When the output load exceeds 750 mA, the output voltage is reduced to maintain a constant current limit.
Thermal overload protection is included, which limits the junction temperature to a maximum of 150°C typical. Under extreme con­ditions (that is, high ambient temperature and power dissipation), when the junction temperature starts to rise above 150°C, the output is turned off, reducing output current to zero. When the junction temperature cools to less than 135°C, the output is turned on again and the output current is restored to its nominal value.
Consider the case where a hard short from VOUT to GND occurs. At first, the ADP124/ADP125 limit the current so that only 750 mA is conducted into the short. If self-heating causes the junction temperature to rise above 150°C, thermal shutdown activates, turning off the output and reducing the output current to zero. When the junction temperature cools to less than 135°C, the output turns on and conducts 750 mA into the short, again causing the junction temperature to rise above 150°C. This thermal oscillation between 135°C and 150°C results in a current oscillation between 750 mA and 0 mA that continues as long as the short remains at the output.
Current and thermal limit protections are intended to protect the device from damage due to accidental overload conditions. For reliable operation, the device power dissipation must be externally limited so that the junction temperature does not exceed 125°C.

THERMAL CONSIDERATIONS

To guarantee reliable operation, the junction temperature of the ADP124/ADP125 must not exceed 125°C. To ensure that the junction temperature is less than this maximum value, the user needs to be aware of the parameters that contribute to junction temperature changes. These parameters include ambient tem­perature, power dissipation in the power device, and thermal resistances between the junction and ambient air (θ of θ

As shown in Equation 4, for a given ambient temperature, input­to-output voltage differential, and continuous load current, there exists a minimum copper size requirement for the PCB to ensure that the junction temperature does not rise above 125°C.

PRINTED CIRCUIT BOARD LAYOUT CONSIDERATIONS

Heat dissipation from the package can be improved by increasing the amount of copper attached to the pins of the ADP124/ADP125. Howeve r, as shown in Ta bl e 6, a point of diminishing returns eventually is reached, beyond which an increase in the copper size does not yield significant heat dissipation benefits.
The input capacitor should be placed as close as possible to the VIN and GND pins, and the output capacitor should be placed as close as possible to the VOUT and GND pins. Use of 0402 or 0603 size capacitors and resistors achieves the smallest possible footprint solution on boards where the area is limited.
