AS1376
1A, Low Input Voltage, Low Quiescent
Current LDO
General Description
The AS1376 is a Dual Supply Rail Linear Regulator designed to
deliver 1A of load current while consuming only 67μA (typ) of
ground current. In the typical post regulation application VBIAS
is directly connected to the main input supply, (range 2.5V …
5.5V) and VIN is supplied by the output voltage of a host DC-DC
Converter (range 0.7V … 4.5V).
The device offers excellent dropout (120mV @ 1A) and transient
performance.
In shutdown (Enable pin pulled low), the device turns off and
reduces quiescent current consumption to 10nA (typ) at both
VBIAS and VIN terminals.
In shutdown, a 100Ω (typ) discharge path is connected between
output and ground to provide rapid discharge of the overall
load capacitance connected to the AS1376 output terminal.
Auto-discharge minimizes the possibility that VOUT > VIN
during shutdown. When VOUT > VIN, reverse current flows
through the inherent body diode of the N-channel series pass
transistor.
The AS1376 also features internal protection against
over-temperature, over-current and under-voltage conditions.
The AS1376 is available in an 8-pin 2x2 TDFN package and
AS1376B is available in a 6-balls WL-CSP. Both package options
are qualified for operation over the -40ºC to 85ºC temperature
range.

AS1376 − Detailed Description
Detailed Description
The AS1376 is a low-dropout, low-quiescent-current linear
regulator intended for LDO regulator applications where
output current load requirements range from no load to 1A. All
devices come with fixed output voltage from 0.5V to 3.3V.
Shutdown current for the whole regulator is typically 20nA. The
device has integrated short-circuit and over current protection.
Under-Voltage lockout prevents erratic operation when the
input voltage is slowly decaying (e.g. in a battery powered
application). Thermal Protection shuts down the device when
die temperature reaches 150°C. This is a useful protection when
the device is under sustained short circuit conditions.
As illustrated in the block diagram on page 3, the devices
comprise voltage reference, error amplifier, N-channel MOSFET
pass transistor, internal voltage divider, current limiter, thermal
sensor and shutdown logic.
The bandgap reference is connected to the inverting input of
the error amplifier. The error amplifier compares this reference
with the feedback voltage and amplifies the difference. If the
feedback voltage is lower than the reference voltage, the
N-channel MOSFET gate is pulled higher, allowing more current
to pass to the output, and increases the output voltage. If the
feedback voltage is too high, the pass-transistor gate is pulled
down, allowing less current to pass to the output.
When the adjustable output variant is selected, an external
resistor voltage divider is connected to FB pin and a sample of
the output is compared to the 500mV reference.
When a fixed output variant is chosen, FB must be connected
to the Output pin. Depending upon the variant chosen, the
internal reference is trimmed to the final output voltage.
Advantage of Dual Supply Architecture vs.
Traditional Single Supply Approach
Compared to the traditional single supply approach, employing
a P-channel series pass MOSFET, the dual rail architecture
ensures improved performances in a LDO when operating at
very low input voltages below the threshold of the internal
series power N-channel MOSFET. The extra supply voltage at
pin VBIAS (V BIAS > V IN) ensures that the N-channel MOSFET
always operates above its threshold voltage.

Single vs. Dual Supply: This figure shows simplified block diagrams of single supply P-channel LDO and dual rail
N-channel series pass architectures.
The P-channel LDO uses a PMOS output transistor connected
in a common source configuration. During regulation, the
PMOS
gate-source voltage moves between VIN and GND as the load
demands. The dual supply approach is based on a NMOS output
transistor in common drain configuration where the source is
connected to the regulated output. During regulation, the
NMOS gate source voltage increases from VOUT to VBIAS as the
load demands. As the drain voltage is not shared with the
remaining blocks of the circuit, its value can be chosen
independently. The NMOS source follower design allows
improved efficiency and dropout at low input voltages and
provides faster load transient response.
Dropout Voltage
Dropout is the input to output voltage difference, below which
the linear regulator ceases to regulate. At this point, the output
voltage change follows the input voltage change. Dropout
voltage may be measured at different currents and, in particular
at the regulator maximum one. From this is obtained the
MOSFET maximum series resistance over temperature.
(EQ1)
V DROPOUT = I LOAD * RSERIES
Dropout is probably the most important specification when the
regulator is used in a battery application. The dropout
performance of the regulator defines the useful “end of life” of
the battery before replacement or re-charge is required.

Graphical Representation of Dropout Voltage
Dropout Voltage: This figure shows the
variation of VOUT as VIN is varied for a
certain load current. The practical value
of dropout is the differential voltage
(VOUT - VIN) measured at the point
where the LDO output voltage has fallen
by 100mV below the nominal, fully
regulated output value. The nominal
regulated output voltage of the LDO is
that obtained when there is 500mV (or
greater) input-output voltage
differential.

Auto-Discharge
AS1376 features an auto-discharge function that discharges the
load capacitance through a 100Ω (typ) path to ground when
the device is placed in shutdown. This helps to minimizes the
possibility that VOUT> VIN during shutdown caused by
differing capacitance discharge rates at VIN and VOUT
terminals. When VOUT> VIN, reverse current flows through the
inherent body diode of the NMOS series pass transistor. This
current should be limited to 50mA or less. If this is not possible,
then an external Schottky diode should be connected between
VOUT (anode) and VIN (cathode) to bypass the discharge
current around the AS1376.
Efficiency
Low quiescent current and low input-output voltage
differential are important in battery applications amongst
others, as the regulator efficiency is directly related to
quiescent current and dropout voltage.

Power Dissipation
Maximum power dissipation (PD) of the LDO is the sum of the
power dissipated by the internal series MOSFET and the
quiescent current required to bias the internal voltage
reference and the internal error amplifier.
(EQ3)
PD (MAX)(Seriespass) = I LOAD(MAX) * (V IN(MAX) - V OUT(MIN))
Internal power dissipation as a result of the bias current for the
internal voltage reference and the error amplifier is calculated
as:
(EQ4)
PD (MAX)(Bias) = V IN(MAX) * I Q
Total LDO power dissipation is calculated as:
(EQ5)
PD (MAX)(TOTAL) = PD (MAX)(Seriespass) + PD (MAX)(Bias)
Junction Temperature
Under all operating conditions, the maximum junction
temperature should not exceed 125ºC (unless the data sheet
specifically allows). Limiting the maximum junction
temperature requires knowledge of the heat path from junction
to case (θ JCºC/W fixed by the IC manufacturer), and adjustment
of the case to ambient heat path (θCAºC/W) by manipulation of
the PCB copper area adjacent to the IC position.

measure of the regulator’s ability to maintain a constant output
voltage when the input voltage changes. Line regulation is a
measure of the DC open loop gain of the error amplifier.

AS1376 − Detailed Description
Explanation of Dynamic Specifications
Power Supply Rejection Ratio (PSRR)
Known also as Ripple Rejection, this specification measures the
ability of the regulator to reject noise and ripple beyond DC.
PSRR is a summation of the individual rejections of the error
amplifier, reference and AC leakage through the series pass
transistor. The specification, in the form of a typical attenuation
plot with respect to frequency, shows up the gain bandwidth
compromises forced upon the designer in low quiescent
current conditions.
(EQ14)
δV OUT
PSRR = 20 log ----------------δV IN
Power supply rejection ratio is fixed by the internal design of
the regulator. Additional rejection must be provided externally.
Output Capacitor ESR
The series regulator is a negative feedback amplifier, and as
such is conditionally stable. The ESR of the output capacitor is
usually used to cancel one of the open loop poles of the error
amplifier in order to produce a single pole response. Excessive
ESR values may actually cause instability by excessive changes
to the closed loop unity gain frequency crossover point. The
range of ESR values for stability is usually shown either by a plot
of stable ESR versus load current, or a limit statement in the
datasheet.
Some ceramic capacitors exhibit large capacitance and ESR
variations with temperature and DC bias. Z5U and Y5V
capacitors may be required to ensure stability at temperatures
below TAMB= -10ºC. With X7R or X5R capacitors, a 1μF capacitor
should be sufficient at all operating temperatures.
Larger output capacitor values (10μF max) help to reduce noise
and improve load transient-response, stability and
power-supply rejection.
Input Capacitor
If the AS1376 is used stand alone, an input capacitor at VIN is
required for stability. It is recommended to connect a 1μF
capacitor between the AS1376 power supply input pin VIN and
GND (capacitance value may be increased without limit).
This capacitor must be located as close as possible to the VIN
pin and returned to a clean analog ground. A X5R or X7R type
or better may be used at the input.
A capacitor at VBIAS is not required if the distance to the supply
does not exceed 5cm.

AS1376 − Detailed Description
Noise
The regulator output is a DC voltage with noise superimposed
on the output. The noise comes from three sources; the
reference, the error amplifier input stage, and the output
voltage setting resistors. Noise is a random fluctuation and if
not minimized in some applications, will produce system
problems.
Transient Response
The series regulator is a negative feedback system, and
therefore any change at the output will take a finite time to be
corrected by the error loop. This “propagation time” is related
to the bandwidth of the error loop. The initial response to an
output transient comes from the output capacitance, and
during this time, ESR is the dominant mechanism causing
voltage transients at the output.
(EQ15)
δV TRANSIENT = δI OUTPUT × R ESR
Thus an initial +50mA change of output current will produce a
-12mV transient when the ESR=240mΩ. Remember to keep the
ESR within stability recommendations when reducing ESR by
adding multiple parallel output capacitors.
After the initial ESR transient, there follows a voltage droop
during the time that the LDO feedback loop takes to respond
to the output change. This drift is approx. linear in time and
sums with the ESR contribution to make a total transient
variation at the output.
(EQ16)
T
δV TRANSIENT = δI OUTPUT ×  R ESR + ------------------
C LOAD
CLOAD… Output Capacitor
T … Propagation Delay of the LDO
This shows why it is convenient to increase the output capacitor
value for a better support for fast load changes. Of course the
formula holds for t < “propagation time”, so that a faster LDO
needs a smaller cap at the load to achieve a similar transient
response. For instance 50mA load current step produces 50mV
output drop if the LDO response is 1usec and the load cap is 1μF.
There is also a steady state error caused by the finite output
impedance of the regulator. This is derived from the load
regulation specification discussed above.
Exit from Shutdown Delay
This specification defines the time taken for the LDO to awake
from shutdown. The time is measured from the release of the
enable pin to the time that the output voltage is within 5% of
the final value. It assumes that the voltage at VIN is stable and
within the regulator min and max limits. Shutdown reduces the
quiescent current to very low, mostly leakage values (<1μA).

AS1376 − Detailed Description
Thermal Protection
To prevent operation under extreme fault conditions, such as a
permanent short circuit at the output, thermal protection is
built into the device. Die temperature is measured, and when a
150ºC threshold is reached, the device enters shutdown. When
the die cools sufficiently, the device will restart (assuming input
voltage exists and the device is enabled). Hysteresis of 25ºC
prevents low frequency oscillation between start-up and
shutdown around the temperature threshold.
Power Supply Sequencing
The AS1376 requires two different supply voltages active at the
same time for correct operation.
• V IN: Input Supply Voltage
• V BIAS: Bias Supply Voltage
It's important that VIN does not exceed VBIAS at any time. If the
device is used in the typical post regulation application as
shown in Figure 20, the sequencing of the two power supplies
is not an issue as VBIAS supplies both, the DC-DC regulator and
the AS1376. The output voltage of the DC-DC regulator will take
some time to rise up and supply VIN of AS1376. In this
application VIN will always ramp up more slowly than VBIAS. In
case VIN is shorted to VBIAS, the voltages at the two supply pins
will ramp up simultaneously causing no problem. Only in
applications with two independent supplies connected to the
AS1376 special care must be taken to guarantee that VIN is
always ≤ V BIAS.
Auto Discharge
When the AS1376 is placed in shutdown, a 100Ω path to ground
is connected at the output. This path speeds up the discharge
of the capacitor(s) connected to the regulator output.
Assuming that VIN remains constant and always >VOUT, output
discharge time is calculated as follows:
(EQ17)
V ( t ) = V REG × e
t
– -------RC
t… specified time after regulator shutdown (sec)
VREG… Regulated Output Voltage (initial condition)
R … 100Ω(typ) discharge resistor
C … Output Capacitor (F)
