GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The ADP3307 is a member of the ADP330x family of precision
low dropout anyCAP voltage regulators. The ADP3307 stands
out from the conventional LDOs with a novel architecture and
an enhanced process. Its patented design requires only a 0.47 µF
output capacitor for stability. This device is stable with any type
of capacitor regardless of its ESR (Equivalent Series Resistance)
value, including ceramic types (MLCC) for space restricted
applications. The ADP3307 achieves exceptional accuracy of
± 0.8% at room temperature and ± 1.4% overall accuracy over
temperature, line and load regulations. The dropout voltage of
the ADP3307 is only 120 mV (typical) at 100 mA.
lose regulation or when the short circuit or thermal overload
protection is activated. Other features include shutdown and
optional noise reduction capabilities. The ADP330x anyCAP
LDO family offers a wide range of output voltages and output
current levels from 50 mA to 300 mA:
ADP3300 (50 mA, SOT-6)
ADP3307 (100 mA, SOT)
ADP3301 (100 mA, SO-8)
ADP3302 (100 mA, Dual Output)
ADP3303 (200 mA)
ADP3306 (300 mA)
The ADP3307 operates with a wide input voltage range from
3.0 V to 12 V and delivers a load current in excess of 100 mA.
It features an error flag that signals when the device is about to

ADP3307
This is no longer true with the ADP3307 anyCAP LDO. It can
be used with virtually any good quality capacitor, with no constraint on the minimum ESR. The innovative design allows the
circuit to be stable with just a small 0.47 µF capacitor on the
output. Additional advantages of the design scheme include
superior line noise rejection and very high regulator gain that
lead to excellent line and load regulation. An impressive ± 1.4%
accuracy is guaranteed over line, load and temperature.
THEORY OF OPERATION
The ADP3307 anyCAP LDO uses a single control loop for
regulation and reference functions. The output voltage is sensed
by a resistive voltage divider consisting of R1 and R2 which is
varied to provide the available output voltage option. Feedback
is taken from this network by way of a series diode (D1) and a
second resistor divider (R3 and R4) to the input of an amplifier.
INPUT
OUTPUT
Additional features of the circuit include current limit, thermal
shutdown and noise reduction. Compared to the standard solutions that give warning after the output has lost regulation, the
ADP3307 provides improved system performance by enabling
the ERR pin to give warning before the device loses regulation.

To reduce the noise gain of the loop, the node of the main divider network (a) is made available at the noise reduction (NR)
pin which can be bypassed with a small capacitor (10 nF–100 nF).

Figure 20. Functional Block Diagram
A very high gain error amplifier is used to control this loop. The
amplifier is constructed in such a way that at equilibrium it
produces a large, temperature proportional input “offset voltage” that is repeatable and very well controlled. The gained up
temperature proportional offset voltage is combined with the
diode voltage to form a “virtual bandgap” voltage, implicit in
the network, although it never appears explicitly in the circuit.
Ultimately, this patented design makes it possible to control the
loop with only one amplifier. This technique also improves the
noise characteristics of the amplifier by providing more flexibility on the trade-off of noise sources that leads to a low noise
design.
APPLICATION INFORMATION
Capacitor Selection: anyCAP
Output Capacitors: as with any micropower device, output
transient response is a function of the output capacitance. The
ADP3307 is stable with a wide range of capacitor values, types
and ESR (anyCAP). A capacitor as low as 0.47 µF is all that is
needed for stability. However, larger capacitors can be used if
high output current surges are anticipated. There is an upper
limit on the size of the output capacitor. The ADP3307 is stable
with extremely low ESR capacitors (ESR ≈ 0), such as multilayer ceramic capacitors (MLCC) or OSCON.
Input Bypass Capacitor: an input bypass capacitor is not required; however, for applications where the input source is high
impedance or far from the input pins, a bypass capacitor is
recommended. Connecting a 0.47 µF capacitor from the input
to ground reduces the circuit’s sensitivity to PC board layout. If
a bigger output capacitor is used, the input capacitor should be
1 µF minimum.
The R1, R2 divider is chosen in the same ratio as the bandgap
voltage to the output voltage. Although the R1, R2 resistor
divider is loaded by the diode D1, and a second divider consisting of R3 and R4, the values are chosen to produce a temperature stable output.
The patented amplifier controls a new and unique noninverting
driver that drives the pass transistor, Q1. The use of this special
noninverting driver enables the frequency compensation to
include the load capacitor in a pole splitting arrangement to
achieve reduced sensitivity to the value, type and ESR of the
load capacitance.
Noise Reduction
A noise reduction capacitor (CNR) can be used to further reduce
the noise by 6 dB–10 dB (Figure 21). Low leakage capacitors in
10 nF–100 nF range provide the best performance. As the noise
reduction capacitor increases the high frequency loop-gain of
the regulator, the circuit requires a larger output capacitor if it is
used. The recommended value is 4.7 µF, as shown in Figure 21.
Since the noise reduction pin (NR) is internally connected to a
high impedance node, any connection to this node should be
carefully done to avoid noise pick up from external sources. The
pad connected to this pin should be as small as possible. Long
PC board traces are not recommended.
Most LDOs place strict requirements on the range of ESR values for the output capacitor because they are difficult to stabilize
due to the uncertainty of load capacitance and resistance.
Moreover, the ESR value, required to keep conventional LDOs
stable, changes depending on load and temperature. These
ESR limitations make designing with conventional LDOs more
difficult because of their unclear specifications and the dependence of ESR over temperature.

The ADP3307 will maintain its output voltage over a wide

supply voltage below the combined regulated output and dropout voltages, the ERR pin will be activated. The ERR output is
an open collector that will be driven low.

Thermal Overload Protection
The ADP3307 is protected against damage due to excessive
power dissipation by its thermal overload protection circuit,
which limits the die temperature to a maximum of 165°C. Under extreme conditions (i.e., high ambient temperature and
power dissipation), where die temperature starts to rise above
165°C, the output current is reduced until the die temperature
has dropped to a safe level. Output current is restored when the
die temperature is reduced.
Once set, the ERRor flag’s hysteresis will keep the output low
until a small margin of operating range is restored either by
raising the supply voltage or reducing the load.
APPLICATIONS CIRCUITS
Crossover Switch
The circuit in Figure 22 shows that two ADP3307s can be used
to form a mixed supply voltage system. The output switches
between two different levels selected by an external digital input.
Output voltages can be any combination of voltages from the
Ordering Guide of the data sheet.
Current and thermal limit protections are intended to protect
the device against accidental overload conditions. For normal
operation, device power dissipation should be externally limited
so that junction temperatures will not exceed 125°C.
Calculating Junction Temperature

Device power dissipation is calculated as follows:

Assuming ILOAD= 100 mA, IGND= 2 mA, VIN = 5.5 V and

Printed Circuit Board Layout Consideration
Figure 22. Crossover Switch
Surface mount components rely on the conductive traces or
pads to transfer heat away from the device. Appropriate PC
board layout techniques should be used to remove heat from the
immediate vicinity of the package.
Higher Output Current
The ADP3307 can source up to 100 mA without any heatsink
or pass transistor. If higher current is needed, an appropriate
pass transistor can be used, as in Figure 23, to increase the
output current to 1 A.
The following general guidelines will be helpful when designing
a board layout:
1. PC board traces with larger cross section areas will remove
more heat. For optimum results, use PC boards with thicker
copper and wider traces.

3. Do not use solder mask or silkscreen on the heat dissipating
traces because it will increase the junction-to-ambient thermal resistance of the package.
