The AP139 is a positive voltage linear regulator utilizing CMOS
technology. The features that include low quiescent current
(45μA typ.), low dropout voltage, and high output voltage
accuracy, make it ideal for battery applications. EN input
connected to the device will produce a low bias current.
The space-saving SOT25 package is attractive for “pocket” and
“hand held” applications.
This rugged device has both thermal shutdown, and current limit
protections to prevent device failure under the “worst” operating
conditions.
In a low noise, regulated supply application, a 10nF capacitor is
necessary to be placed in between Bypass and Ground.
The AP139 is stable with a low E SR out put ca paci tor of 1.0μF or
greater.

Functional Description
The AP139 of CMOS regulators contain a PMOS pass transistor,
voltage reference, error amplifier, over-current protection,
thermal shutdown.
The P-channel pass transistor receives data from the error
amplifier, over-current protection, and thermal protection circuits.
During normal operation, the error amplifier compares the output
voltage to a precision reference. The over-current and thermal
shutdown circuits become active when the junction temperature
exceeds 130
shutdown, the output voltage remains low. Normal operation is
restored when the junction temperature drops below 110
The AP139 switches from voltage mode to current mode when
the load exceeds the rated output current. This prevents
over-stress.

Enable
The enable pin normally floats high. When actively, pulled low,
the PMOS pass transistor shuts off, and all internal circuits are
powered down. In th is state, the quiescent cur rent is less than
2μA. This pin behaves much like an electronic switch.
External Capacitor
The AP139 is stable with a low ESR output capacitor to ground of
1.0μF or greater. It can keep stable even with higher ESR
capacitors. A second capacitor is recommended between the
input and ground to stabilize V
larger than 0.1μF to have a beneficial effect. All capacitors should
