THERMAL DATA
Absolute maximum ratings apply only individually, not in
combination. The ADP1740/ADP1741 may be damaged when
junction temperature limits are exceeded. Monitoring ambient
temperature does not guarantee that the junction temperature is
within the specified temperature limits. In applications with
high power dissipation and poor PCB thermal resistance, the
maximum ambient temperature may need to be derated. 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.

THEORY OF OPERATION
The ADP1740/ADP1741 are low dropout linear regulators
that use an advanced, proprietary architecture to provide high
power supply rejection ratio (PSRR) and excellent line and load
transient response with only a small 4.7 µF ceramic output capacitor. Both devices operate from a 1.6 V to 3.6 V input rail and
provide up to 2 A of output current. Supply current in shutdown
mode is typically 2 µA.

Internally, the ADP1740/ADP1741 consist of a reference,
an error amplifier, a feedback voltage divider, and a PMOS
pass transistor. Output current is delivered via the PMOS pass
transistor, 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 ADP1740 is available in seven fixed output voltage options
from 0.75 V to 2.5 V. The ADP1740 allows for connection of an
external soft start capacitor, which controls the output voltage
ramp during startup. The ADP1741 is an adjustable version with
an output voltage that can be set to a value from 0.75 V to 3.0 V
by an external voltage divider. Both devices are controlled by an
enable pin (EN).
SOFT START FUNCTION
For applications that require a controlled startup, the ADP1740/
ADP1741 provide a programmable soft start function. The
programmable soft start is useful for reducing inrush current
upon startup and for providing voltage sequencing. To implement
soft start, connect a small ceramic capacitor from SS to GND.
Upon startup, a 0.9 µA current source charges this capacitor.
The ADP1740/ADP1741 start-up output voltage is limited by
the voltage at SS, providing a smooth ramp-up to the nominal
output voltage. The soft start time is calculated as follows:
t
= V

When the ADP1740/ADP1741 are disabled (using the EN pin),

internal 100 Ω resistor.

ADJUSTABLE OUTPUT VOLTAGE (ADP1741)
The output voltage of the ADP1741 can be set over a 0.75 V to
3.0 V range. The output voltage is set by connecting a resistive
voltage divider from VOUT to ADJ. The output voltage is calculated using the following equation:
V
= 0.5 V × (1 + R1/R2) (2)
OUT
where:
R1 is the resistor from VOUT to ADJ.
R2 is the resistor from ADJ to GND.
The maximum bias current into ADJ is 150 nA, so to achieve less
than 0.5% error due to the bias current, use values less than
60 k for R2.
ENABLE FEATURE
The ADP1740/ADP1741 use the EN pin to enable and disable
the VOUT pins under normal operating conditions. As shown
in Figure 28, when a rising voltage on EN crosses the active
threshold, VOUT turns on. When a falling voltage on EN
crosses the inactive threshold, VOUT turns off.
T
EN
V
OUT
The EN pin active/inactive thresholds are derived from the VIN
voltage. Therefore, these thresholds vary with changing input
voltage. Figure 29 shows typical EN active/inactive thresholds
when the input voltage varies from 1.6 V to 3.6 V.

POWER-GOOD FEATURE
The ADP1740/ADP1741 provide a power-good pin, PG, to
indicate the status of the output. This open-drain output
requires an external pull-up resistor to VIN. If the part is in
shutdown mode, current-limit mode, or thermal shutdown, or
if it falls below 90% of the nominal output voltage, the powergood pin (PG) immediately transitions low. During soft start,
the rising threshold of the power-good signal is 93.5% of the
nominal output voltage.
The open-drain output is held low when the ADP1740/ADP1741
have sufficient input voltage to turn on the internal PG transistor.
An optional soft start delay can be detected. The PG transistor
is terminated via a pull-up resistor to VOUT or VIN.
Power-good accuracy is 93.5% of the nominal regulator output
voltage when this voltage is rising, with a 90% trip point when
this voltage is falling. Regulator input voltage brownouts or
glitches trigger power no-good if V

REVERSE CURRENT PROTECTION FEATURE
The ADP1740/ADP1741 have additional circuitry to protect
against reverse current flow from VOUT to VIN. For a typical
LDO with a PMOS pass device, there is an intrinsic body diode
between VIN and VOUT. When V
diode is reverse-biased. If V
OUT
diode becomes forward-biased and conducts current from
VOUT to VIN, potentially causing destructive power dissipation.
The reverse current protection circuitry detects when V
greater than V
and reverses the direction of the intrinsic diode
IN
connection, reverse-biasing the diode. The gate of the PMOS
pass device is also connected to VOUT, keeping the device off.
Figure 32 shows a plot of the reverse current vs. the V
differential.
The ADP1740/ADP1741 are designed for operation with small,
space-saving ceramic capacitors, but they function with most
commonly used capacitors as long as care is taken with regard
to the effective series resistance (ESR) value. The ESR of the
output capacitor affects the stability of the LDO control loop. A
minimum of 3.3 µF capacitance with an ESR of 100 m or less is
recommended to ensure the stability of the ADP1740/ADP1741.
Transient response to changes in load current is also affected by
output capacitance. Using a larger value of output capacitance
improves the transient response of the ADP1740/ADP1741 to
large changes in load current. Figure 33 and Figure 34 show the
transient responses for output capacitance values of 4.7 µF and
22 µF, respectively.

Input Bypass Capacitor
Connecting a 4.7 µF capacitor from the VIN pin to GND
reduces the circuit sensitivity to printed circuit board (PCB)
layout, especially when long input traces or high source
impedance are encountered. If output capacitance greater than
4.7 µF is required, it is recommended that the input capacitor be
increased to match it.
Input and Output Capacitor Properties
Any good quality ceramic capacitors can be used with the
ADP1740/ADP1741, as long as they meet 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 a dielectric adequate to ensure the
minimum capacitance over the necessary temperature range
and dc bias conditions. X5R or X7R dielectrics with a voltage
rating of 6.3 V or 10 V are recommended. Y5V and Z5U
dielectrics are not recommended, due to their poor temperature
and dc bias characteristics.
Figure 35 shows the capacitance vs. voltage bias characteristics
of an 0805 case, 4.7 F, 10 V, X5R capacitor. The voltage stability
of a capacitor is strongly influenced by the capacitor size and
voltage rating. In general, a capacitor in a larger package or with
a higher voltage rating exhibits better stability. The temperature
variation of the X5R dielectric is approximately ±15% over the
−40°C to +85°C temperature range and is not a function of
package size 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
= 4.46 F at 1.8 V, as shown in Figure 35.
OUT
Substituting these values in Equation 3 yields
C
= 4.46 F × (1 − 0.15) × (1 − 0.1) = 3.41 F
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 ADP1740/ADP1741,
it is imperative that the effects of dc bias, temperature, and
tolerances on the behavior of the capacitors be evaluated for
each application.
UNDERVOLTAGE LOCKOUT
The ADP1740/ADP1741 have an internal undervoltage lockout
circuit that disables all inputs and the output when the input
voltage is less than approximately 1.58 V. This ensures that the
ADP1740/ADP1741 inputs and the output behave in a predictable manner during power-up.
CURRENT-LIMIT AND THERMAL OVERLOAD
PROTECTION
The ADP1740/ADP1741 are protected against damage due to
excessive power dissipation by current-limit and thermal
overload protection circuits. The ADP1740/ADP1741 are
designed to reach current limit when the output load reaches
3 A (typical). When the output load exceeds 3 A, 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 begins to rise above
150°C, the output is turned off, reducing the output current to
zero. When the junction temperature drops below 135°C
(typical), the output is turned on again and output current is
restored to its nominal value.
Consider the case where a hard short from VOUT to ground
occurs. At first, the ADP1740/ADP1741 reach current limit so
that only 3 A is conducted into the short. If self-heating of the
junction becomes great enough to cause its temperature to rise
above 150°C, thermal shutdown activates, turning off the output
and reducing the output current to zero. As the junction temperature cools and drops below 135°C, the output turns on and
conducts 3 A into the short, again causing the junction temperature to rise above 150°C. This thermal oscillation between
135°C and 150°C causes a current oscillation between 3 A and
0 A that continues as long as the short remains at the output.
Current-limit and thermal overload protections are intended to
protect the device against accidental overload conditions. For
reliable operation, device power dissipation should be externally
limited so that junction temperatures do not exceed 125°C.
Rev. 0 | Page 15 of 20
THERMAL CONSIDERATIONS
To guarantee reliable operation, the junction temperature of the
ADP1740/ADP1741 must not exceed 125°C. To ensure that the
junction temperature stays below 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
resistance between the junction and ambient air (θ

PCB LAYOUT CONSIDERATIONS
Heat dissipation from the package can be improved by increasing
the amount of copper attached to the pins of the ADP1740/
ADP1741. However, as shown in Tab l e 6, a point of diminishing
returns is eventually reached, beyond which an increase in the
copper size does not yield significant heat dissipation benefits.

Here are a few general tips when designing PCBs:
• Place the input capacitor as close as possible to the VIN
and GND pins.
• Place the output capacitor as close as possible to the VOUT
and GND pins.
• Place the soft start capacitor close to the SS pin.
• Connect the load as close as possible to the VOUT and
SENSE pins (ADP1740) or to the VOUT and ADJ pins
(ADP1741).
