APL5913
0.8V Reference Ultra Low Dropout (0.25V@3A) Linear Regulator
Features
General Description
•
The APL5913 is a 3A ultra low dropout linear regulator.
This product is specifically designed to provide well
supply volatage for front-side-bus termination on
motherboards and NB applications. The IC needs two
supply voltages, a control voltage for the circuitry and
a main supply voltage for power conversion, to reduce
power dissipation and provide extremely low dropout.
The APL5913 integrates many functions. A Power-OnReset (POR) circuit monitors both supply voltages to
prevent wrong operations. A thermal shutdown and
current limit functions protect the device against
thermal and current over-loads. A POK indicates the
output status with time delay which is set internally. It
can control other converter for power sequence. The
APL5913 can be enabled by other power system.
Pulling and holding the EN pin below 0.3V shuts off
the output.
The APL5913 is available in SOP-8-P package which
features small size as SOP-8 and an Exposed Pad to
reduce the junction-to-case resistance, being applicable
in 2~3W applications.

Functional Description
Power-On-Reset
Internal Soft-Start
A Power-On-Reset (POR) circuit monitors both input
voltages at VCNTL and VIN pins to prevent wrong logic
controls. The POR function initiates a soft-start process
after the two supply voltages exceed their rising POR
threshold voltages during powering on. The POR
function also pulls low the POK pin regardless the
output voltage when the VCNTL voltage falls below it’s
falling POR threshold.
An internal soft-start function controls rise rate of the
output voltage to limit the current surge at start-up.
The typical soft-start interval is about 2mS.

with a 50oC hysteresis lowers the average junction
temperature during continuous thermal overload
conditions, extending life time of the device.
Output Voltage Regulation (Cont.)
provides very fast transient response and less load
regulation. It compares the reference with the feedback
voltage and amplifies the difference to drive the output
NMOS which provides load current from VIN to VOUT.
For normal operation, device power dissipation should
be externally limited so that junction temperatures will
not exceed +125°C.
Current-Limit
Enable Control
The APL5913 monitors the current via the output
NMOS and limits the maximum current to prevent load
and APL5913 from damages during overload or shortcircuit conditions.
The APL5913 has a dedicated enable pin (EN). A logic
low signal (VEN< 0.3V) applied to this pin shuts down
the output. Following a shutdown, a logic high signal
re-enables the output through initiation of a new
softstart cycle. Left open, this pin is pulled up by an
Under-Voltage Protection (UVP)
The APL5913 monitors the voltage on FB pin after
soft-start process is finished. Therefore the UVP is
disable during soft-start. When the voltage on FB pin
falls below the under-voltage threshold, the UVP
circuit shuts off the output immediately. After a while,
the APL5913 starts a new soft-start to regulate output.
internal current source (10µA typical) to enable
operation. It’s not necessary to use an external transistor
to save cost.
Power-OK and Delay
The APL5913 indicates the status of the output voltage
by monitoring the feedback voltage (VFB) on FB pin.
As the VFB rises and reaches the rising Power-OK
threshold (VPOK), an internal delay function starts to
perform a delay time. At the end of the delay time, the
IC turns off the internal NMOS of the POK to indicate
the output is OK. As the VFB falls and reaches the
falling Power-OK threshold (VPNOK), the IC immediately
turns on the NMOS of the POK to indicate the output
is not OK without a delay time.
Thermal Shutdown
A thermal shutdown circuit limits the junction temperature
of APL5913. When the junction temperature exceeds
+150°C, a thermal sensor turns off the output NMOS,
allowing the device to cool down. The regulator regulates
the output again through initiation of a new soft-start
cycle after the junction temperature cools by 50°C,
resulting in a pulsed output during continuous thermal
overload conditions. The thermal shutdown designed
Application Information
Output Capacitor
The APL5913 requires a proper output capacitor to
maintain stability and improve transient response over
temperature and current. The output capacitor selection
is to select proper ESR(equivalent series resistance)
and capacitance of the output capacitor for good stability
and load transient response.
Power Sequencing
The power sequencing of VIN and VCNTL is not necessary
to be concerned. But do not apply a voltage to VOUT
for a long time when the main voltage applied at VIN is
not present. The reason is the internal parasitic diode
from VOUT to VIN conducts and dissipates power
without protections due to the forward-voltage.

APL5913
Application Information (Cont.)
Output Capacitor (Cont.)
Feedback Network
The APL5913 is designed with a programmable
feedback compensation adjusted by an external
feedback network for the use of wide ranges of ESR
and capacitance in all applications. Ultra-low-ESR
capacitors (such as ceramic chip capacitors), low-ESR
bulk capacitors (such as solid Tantalum, POSCap, and
Aluminum electrolytic capacitors) all can be used as
an output capacitor. The value of the output capacitors
can be increased without limit.
Figure 1 shows the feedback network between VOUT,
GND and FB pins. It works with the internal error
amplifier to provide proper frequency response for the
linear regulator. The ESR is the equivalent series
resistance of the output capacitor. The COUT is ideal
capacitance in the output capacitor. The VOUT is the
setting of the output voltage.

The feedback network selection depends on the values
of the ESR and COUT, which has been classified into
three conditions:
Input Capacitor
• Condition 1 : Large ESR ( ≥18mΩ )
- Select the R1 in the range of 400Ω ~ 2.4kΩ
- Calculate the R2 as the following :
The APL5913 requires proper input capacitors to supply current surge during stepping load transients to
prevent the input rail from dropping . Because the
parasitic inductor from the voltage sources or other
bulk capacitors to the VIN pin limit the slew rate of the
surge currents. More parasitic inductance needs more
input capacitance.
R2(kΩ ) = R1(kΩ) ⋅
0.8(V)

VOUT(V) - 0.8(V)
- Calculate the C1 as the following :

Ultra-low-ESR capacitors, such as ceramic chip
capacitors, are very good for the input capacitors An
aluminum electrolytic capacitor (>100mF, ESR
<300mW) is recommended as the input capacitor. It
is not necessary to use low-ESR capacitors. More
capacitance reduce the variations of the input voltage
of VIN pin.

Decoupling ceramic capacitors must be placed at the

During load transients, the output capacitors,
depending on the stepping amplitude and slew rate of
load current, are used to reduce the slew rate of the
current seen by the APL5913 and help the device to
minimize the variations of output voltage for good
transient response. For the applications with large
stepping load current, the low-ESR bulk capacitors
are normally recommended.

If the C1 (calculated) can not meet the equation (8),
please use the Condition 2.
Select a proper R1(selected) to be a little larger
than the calculated R1.
- Calculate the C1 as the following :
- Use equation (2) to calculate the R2.
The reason to have three conditions described above
is to optimize the load transient responses for all kinds
of the output capacitor. For stability only, the Condition
2, regardless of equation (5), is enough for all kinds of
output capacitor.

PCB Layout Considerations (See Figure 2)

on the PCB. The main current flow is through the
exposed pad. Refer Figure 3 to make a proximate

2. Please place the input capacitors for VIN and

If the C1(calculated) can not meet the equation
(5), please use the Condition 3.
3. Ceramic decoupling capacitors for load must be
placed near the load as close as possible.
- Use equation (2) to calculate the R2.
• Condition 3 : Low ESR (eg. Ceramic Capacitors)
4. To place APL5913 and output capacitors near the
load is good for performance.
- Calculate the R1 as the following:
5. The negative pins of the input and output capacitors and the GND pin of the APL5913 are connected
to the ground plane of the load.

Select a proper R1(selected) to be a little larger
than the calculated R1. The minimum selected
R1 is equal to 1kΩ when the calculated R1 is
smaller than 1k or negative.
- Calculate the C1 as the following :

Thermal Considerations
See Figure 3. The SOP-8-P is a cost-effective package
featuring a small size like a standard SOP-8 and a
bottom exposed pad to minimize the thermal resistance
of the package, being applicable to high current
applications. The exposed pad must be soldered to
the top VIN plane. The copper of the VIN plane on the
Top layer conducts heat into the PCB and air. Please
enlarge the area to reduce the case-to-ambient resistance
(θ CA).
