The dual LDO PAM3102 series of positive voltage linear regulators
feature high output voltage accuracy, low quiescent current and low
dropout voltage, making them ideal for battery powered applications.
The line transient response and load transient response are excellent.
Their high PSRR make them useful in applications where AC noise
on the input power supply must be suppressed. Space-saving
TSOT26 package for 2-ch LDOs is attractive for portable and
handheld applications. They have both thermal shutdown and a
current limit feature to prevent device failure under extreme operating
conditions. They are stable with an output capacitance of 2.2μF or
greater.

Similar to any low dropout regulator, the external capacitors used with the PAM3102 must be carefully selected for regulator stability and
performance.

distance between C
Capacitors with larger values and lower ESR (equivalent series resistance) provide better PSRR and line-transient response.
The PAM3102 is designed specifically to work with low ESR ceramic output capacitors in order to save space and improve performance. Using
an output ceramic capacitor whose value is >2.2µF with ESR>5mΩ ensures stablilty.
Shutdown Input Operation
The PAM3102 is shutdown by pulling the CE input low, and turned on by tying the CE input to VIN or leaving the CE input floating.
Input-Output (Dropout) Voltage
A regulator's minimum input-output voltage differential (or dropout voltage) determines the lowest usable supply voltage. The PAM3102 has a
typical 180mV dropout voltage. In batterypowered systems, this will determine the useful end-of-life battery voltage.
Current Limit and Short Circuit Protection
The PAM3102 features a current limit, which monitors and controls the gate voltage of the pass transistor. The output current can be limited to
300mA by regulating the gate voltage. The PAM3102 also has a built-in short circuit current limit.
Thermal Considerations
Thermal protection limits power dissipation in the PAM3102. When the junction temperature exceeds 150°C, the OTP (Over Temperature
Protection) starts the thermal shutdown and turns the pass transistor off. The pass transistor resumes operation after the junction temperature
drops below 120°C.
For continuous operation, the junction temperature should be maintained below 125°C. The power dissipation is defined as:
of more than 1μF can be employed in the input pin, while there is no upper limit for the capacitance of CIN. Please note that the

The maximum power dissipation depends on the thermal resistance of IC package, PCB layout, the rate of surrounding airflow and temperature
difference between junction and ambient. The maximum power dissipation can be calculated by the following formula:
