The APE8800-3 series are low dropout linear
regulators that can provide 300mA output current
with a drop-out voltage of about 2-300mV. Also, current
limit and on-chip thermal shutdown features provide
protection against any combination of overload or
junction temperature that exceeds the shutdown
temperature.
1.Output and Input Capacitor
The APE8800-3 regulator is designed to be stable
with a wide range of output capacitors. The ESR of
the output capacitor affects stability. Larger values
of the output capacitor decrease the peak deviations
and provide improved transient response for larger
current changes.
The various capacitor types (aluminum, ceramic,
tantalum) have different characteristics such as
temperature and voltage coefficients. All ceramic
capacitors are manufactured with a variety of
dielectrics, each with different behavior across
temperature and applications. Common dielectrics
used are X5R, X7R and Y5V. It is recommended
to use 1uF to 10uF X5R or X7R dielectric ceramic
capacitors with 30mΩ to 50mΩ ESR range betw-
een device outputs to ground for transient stability.
The APE8800-3 is designed to be stable with low
ESR ceramic capacitors, and higher values of
capacitors and ESR can improve output stability.
APE8800-3
So the ESR of the output capacitor is very important
because it generates a zero to provide phase
lead for loop stability.
There are no requirements for the ESR on the
input capacitor, but its voltage and temperature
coefficient have to be considered for the device
application environment.
2.Protection Features
In order to prevent overloading or a thermal
condition from damaging the device, the APE88
regulator has internal thermal and current-limiting
functions designed to protect the device. It
will rapidly shut off the internal P-channel
MOSFET pass element during overloading
or an over-temperature condition.
3.Thermal Consideration
The power handling capability of the device is
limited by the maximum operation junction
temperature(125°C). The power dissipated by
the device can be estimated by PD = IOUT ×
(VIN-VOUT). This power dissipation must be
lower than the maximum power dissipation
listed in the “Absolute Maximum Ratings” section.
