The ADP220/ADP221 can be damaged when the junction

with high power dissipation and poor thermal resistance, the
maximum ambient temperature may have to be derated. In
applications with moderate power dissipation and low PCB

THEORY OF OPERATION
The ADP220/ADP221 are low quiescent current, low dropout
linear regulators that operate from 2.5 V to 5.5 V and provide
up to 200 mA of current from each output. Drawing a low 120 μA
quiescent current (typical) at full load makes the ADP220/
ADP221 ideal for battery-operated portable equipment. Shutdown current consumption is typically 100 nA.
Optimized for use with small 1 µF ceramic capacitors, the
ADP220/ADP221 provide excellent transient performance.
Internally, the ADP220/ADP221 consist of a reference, two error
amplifiers, two feedback voltage dividers, and two PMOS pass
transistors. 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 flow 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 flow and decreasing the output voltage.
The ADP221 also includes an active pull-down circuit to rapidly
discharge the output load capacitance when each output is
disabled.
The ADP220/ADP221 are available in multiple output voltage
options ranging from 0.8 V to 3.3 V. The ADP220/ADP221 use
the EN1/EN2 pins to enable and disable the VOUT1/VOUT2
pins under normal operating conditions. When EN1/EN2 are high,
VOUT1/VOUT2 turn on; when EN1/EN2 are l o w, VOUT1/
VOUT2 turn off. For automatic startup, EN1/EN2 can be tied
to VIN.

APPLICATIONS INFORMATION
CAPACITOR SELECTION
Output Capacitor
The ADP220/ADP221 are designed for operation with small,
space-saving ceramic capacitors, but the parts function with
most commonly used capacitors as long as care is taken with
regards to the effective series resistance (ESR) value. The ESR
of the output capacitor affects 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 ADP220/ADP221.
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 ADP220/ADP221 to large
changes in the load current. Figure 29 and Figure 30 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 PCB layout, especially when long input
traces or high source impedance are encountered. If an output
capacitance greater than 1 µF is required, the input capacitor
should be increased to match it.
Input and Output Capacitor Properties
Any good quality ceramic capacitor can be used with the ADP220/
ADP221, as long as the capacitor meets the minimum capacitance and maximum ESR requirements. Ceramic capacitors are
manufactured with a variety of dielectrics, each with a 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.
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 31 depicts the capacitance vs. voltage bias characteristic
of an 0402 1 µF, 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 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 the package or voltage rating.

BIAS
where:
C
is the effective capacitance at the operating voltage.
BIAS
TEMPCO is the worst-case capacitor temperature coefficient.
TOL is the worst-case component tolerance.
In this example, TEMPCO over −40°C to +85°C is assumed to
be 15% for an X5R dielectric. TOL is assumed to be 10%, and
C
is 0.94 μF at 1.8 V from the graph in Figure 31.
BIAS
Substituting these values into Equation 1 yields
= 0.94 μF × (1 − 0.15) × (1 − 0.1) = 0.719 μF
C
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 ADP220/ADP221, 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 ADP220/ADP221 have an internal undervoltage lockout
circuit that disables all inputs and the output when the input
voltage is less than approximately 2.2 V. This ensures that the
inputs of the ADP220/ADP221 and the output behave in a
predictable manner during power-up.
ENABLE FEATURE
The ADP220/ADP221 use the ENx pins to enable and disable
the VOUTx pins under normal operating conditions. Figure 32
shows a rising voltage on ENx crossing the active threshold,
then V
inactive threshold, V
turns on. When a falling voltage on ENx crosses the
OUTx
turns off.
OUTx
As shown in Figure 32, the ENx pins have built-in hysteresis.
This prevents on/off oscillations that can occur due to noise on
the ENx pins as it passes through the threshold points.
The active/inactive thresholds of the ENx pins are derived from
the VIN voltage. Therefore, these thresholds vary with changing
input voltage. Figure 33 shows typical ENx active/inactive thresholds when the input voltage varies from 2.5 V to 5.5 V.
Figure 33. Typical ENx Pins Thresholds vs. Input Voltage
The ADP220/ADP221 utilize 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 220 µs from the time the
ENx active threshold is crossed to when the output reaches 90%
of its final value. The start-up time is somewhat dependent on
the output voltage setting and increases slightly as the output
voltage increases.

CURRENT-LIMIT AND THERMAL OVERLOAD
PROTECTION
The ADP220/ADP221 are protected against damage due to
excessive power dissipation by current and thermal overload
protection circuits. The ADP220/ADP221 are designed to
current limit when the output load reaches 300 mA (typical).
When the output load exceeds 300 mA, the output voltage is
reduced to maintain a constant current limit.
Thermal overload protection is built-in, which limits the
junction temperature to a maximum of 155°C (typical). Under
extreme conditions (that is, high ambient temperature and
power dissipation) when the junction temperature starts to
rise above 155°C, the output is turned off, reducing the output
current to zero. When the junction temperature drops below
140°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 VOUTx to GND
occurs. At first, the ADP220/ADP221 current limit, so that only
300 mA is conducted into the short. If self-heating of the junction
is great enough to cause its temperature to rise above 155°C,
thermal shutdown activates, turning off the output and reducing
the output current to zero. As the junction temperature cools
and drops below 140°C, the output turns on and conducts 300 mA
into the short, again causing the junction temperature to rise
above 155°C. This thermal oscillation between 140°C and
155°C causes a current oscillation between 0 mA and 300 mA
that continues as long as the short remains at the output.
Current and thermal limit protections are intended to protect
the device against accidental overload conditions. For reliable
operation, device power dissipation must be externally limited
so that junction temperatures do not exceed 125°C.
THERMAL CONSIDERATIONS
In most applications, the ADP220/ADP221 do not dissipate
much heat due to high efficiency. However, in applications with
a high ambient temperature and high supply voltage to output
voltage differential, the heat dissipated in the package is large
enough that it can cause the junction temperature of the die
to exceed the maximum junction temperature of 125°C.
When the junction temperature exceeds 155°C, the converter
enters thermal shutdown. It recovers only after the junction
temperature has decreased below 140°C to prevent any permanent
damage. Therefore, thermal analysis for the chosen application
is very important to guarantee reliable performance over all
conditions. The junction temperature of the die is the sum of
the ambient temperature of the environment and the temperature rise of the package due to the power dissipation, as shown
in Equation 2.
To guarantee reliable operation, the junction temperature of
the ADP220/ADP221 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
resistances between the junction and ambient air (θ
). The θJA
JA
number is dependent on the package assembly compounds used
and the amount of copper to which the GND pins of the package
are soldered on the PCB. Tabl e 6 shows typical θ

LOAD
As shown in Equation 4, for a given ambient temperature,
input-to-output voltage differential, and continuous load
current, there exists a minimum copper size requirement
for the PCB to ensure the junction temperature does not rise
above 125°C. Figure 35 to Figure 39 show junction temperature
calculations for different ambient temperatures, total power
dissipation, and areas of PCB copper.

PRINTED CIRCUIT BOARD (PCB) LAYOUT CONSIDERATIONS
Heat dissipation from the package can be improved by
increasing the amount of copper attached to the pins of the
ADP220/ADP221. However, as shown in Tabl 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.
Place the input capacitor as close as possible to the VIN and
GND pins. Place the output capacitors as close as possible to
the VOUT1, VOUT2, and GND pins. Use 0402 or 0603
size capacitors and resistors to achieve the smallest possible
footprint solution on boards where area is limited.
