FUNCTIONAL DESCRIPTION
The TDA3661 is an adjustable voltage regulator with an
output voltage that can be fixed by means of an external
resistor divider. The regulator can deliver output currents
up to 100 mA. The regulator is available in an SO8
package. The regulator is intended for portable, mains,
telephone and automotive applications. To increase the
lifetime of batteries, aspecially built-in clamp circuit keeps
the quiescent current of this regulator very low, in dropout
and full load conditions.
The device remains operational down to very low supply
voltages (typical 2 V) and belowthis voltageit switchesoff.
LIMITING VALUES
In accordance with the Absolute Maximum Rating System (IEC 60134).

Atemperatureprotection is includedwhich switchesoff the
regulator output at a junction temperature above 150 °C.
A new output circuit guarantees the stability of the
regulator for a capacitor output circuit with an ESR
(worst-case) up to22 Ω, seeFigs 4 and 5. If only a 100 nF
capacitor is used, the regulator is fully stable when
I
> 200 µA. This is very attractive as the ESR of an
REG
electrolytic capacitor increases strongly at low
temperatures (no expensive tantalum capacitor is
required).
